Ok so the Pike river event in Kenosha on August 1,2,3 is comming up and myself, Matty Bottles, (Swanson crew?) and anyone else are planning to enjoy the beach!! Where else can you camp in a better place? Now since we are down in numbers, I probably won't bring the tavern set. But we can travel light and set up more of a careening camp! Here's a link to last years event Check it out https://pyracy.com/forums/index.php?showtop...3&hl=pike+river http://www.kenosha.org/kenevents/events/pi...rendezvous.html

I didn't see a topic for this, so I guess I am starting it. I am sort of planning to attend the Beaufort Pirate Invasion in August. As my chosen crew is really just a PiP special, and Surgeon Mission is sort of a floater pirate (not (necessarily) because he fell overboard), I am giving notice that I am looking to sign on with a crew for the event. I'll be the one in the Patrick Hand original planter's hat. (I have an intriguing idea about transportation that will most likely fall through miserably and leave me with no ride if past experience is any indication. If so, I will most likely drive from Detroit as I will definitely stay in a hotel somewhere nearby and will need…

Hello! We are trying to come up with bumper stickers for Pirates of Paynetown advertising and fundraising. I thought I'd give folks on here the option of voting for their favorite bumper sticker out of the ideas presented here. I can't guarantee that the number one voted sticker will be the one we have made, but it's very likely... 1) Sailors are Knotty 3"x3" 2) Prepare to be Boarded 3"x3" 3) Smugglers Local 319 3"x3" 4) Royal Navy/Pirate Hunter 3"x3" 5) Anne Bonney, Eat Your Heart Out 3"x3" 6) "Heart" of Oak 2"x6" 7) River Pirate 2"x6" 8 ) Sailors are Knotty 2"x6" 9) Boarders Away! 2"x6"

I myself will be there with some members of the Press Gang. I delivered a few swords up there this past weekend. I saw a few faces I knew. It was hot and I think it will be just as hot next weekend so be sure to plan on going pirate lite. If you go be sure to stop by the pirates den and say hey or catch us as we roam. Also my swords are for sale at the pirate ship. Make sure you ask them to see the BKS cutlasses. Yarrr!
