Dread Pyrate Gregory

Here are a couple of recent photos of me in my garb: Ace of Harbor Bay, Mr. Salmagundi and meself try to plunder an anchor: Ship's Cook, Hard Tack, at Norcal Faire pirate invasion weekend;

Billy Bones! Didn't know it were you either! I took a photo of you with milady Amy! Thank ye! Here it be:

That's a fyne group photo indeed! Sorry I didn't get to meet everyone. It was great to meet Rumba and see Petee, Leatherneck, Skull Pyrate Carter and Arthur Richards. I was a very busy pirate running between the Tales of the Seven Seas encampment (where I performed a pirate wedding on Saturday night, hence the fancy garb) and helping out at the Voodoo Shack. A grand time, indeed!

Ahoy all- Haven't posted in a while, but I'll be cavorting about, as well! Hope to see you all there... Let's just bring extinguisers...just in case.

Ahoy! Some mates brought this thread to my attention, been absent for a while. Excellent work everybody! I especially like the pencil sketch by Callenish, I am honored. Good luck on the painting, post a photo when it's finished. I also like Patrick's pyrate ninja. I'd love to see that on a t-shirt.

Ace- Black Skot also made Mr. Salmagundi's new coat that he was sportin' last weekend at the Sea Wolf opening. I believe it's cotton twill. Correct me if I'm wrong, Skot. Nice work by the way!

Huzzah to Diego and Rummy! thanks agin fer helping us out at Sea Wolf on Saturday. I didn't get a chance to thank you fer the gloves. They're gonna come in right handy during the upcoming winter raids. Glad you enjoyed Northern Faire!

Aye Scarlet we can always use more pyrate wenches! Bedlam will be a blast ,sez I!

Dread Pyrate Gregory's Top Ten Memories from Ojai (kinda fuzzy still recovering) 10. Daily Battle, last because of the chaos and me flintlocks misfired! 9. Rum Runners floor show/video retrospect & pirate wedding (who else would give out little bottles of rum as favors) 8. Anyone for a game of Hot Grenado? 7. Meeting Diego and Pirate Petee from Pyracy Pub, and the crew from the Port of the Black Sail, fine scoundrels indeed. 6. Our new crewmates Iron Hand (an excellent auctioneer) and Blackdragon, awesome work mates! 5. A visit from Cap'n Gary of the Royaliste, seems like Sandy and Jazzy were enjoying their shore leave. 4. The TOT7Cs encampment. Looked like our crew had set ashore after plundering a treasure galleon. The hidden privy was very nice. 3. The Bloddy Scupper Plunder Club - need I say more? 2. A pinata filled with chocolate treasure chests and mini rum bottles! What more could a pirate ask for?... 1. The auctions on both days wre the highlight of the weekend for me. Folks were returning items so we could auction them again and raise more money! Very generous pirates indeed. The wench auction was a blast, I wonder if this will be the only appearance of the Sisterhood of the Lioness? I'm proud to be associated with such a group of cutthroats!

Does anyone have a good internet source for flints? Hopefully in different sizes and affordable. Thanks in advance!

Aye, although I'm a new recruit, I do know of Kenny (Elvis) Trooper and I hear through the grapevine that Toby's working on a Wonka costume! But alas, I haven't met them personally, yet.

Ace, me boy I didn't know you did RHPS! I lost count after me 100th attendance. :) Any photos of Adventure Ace? Here's some shot of my previous persona: My 501st profile: Wrestlers Mankind and Undertaker: A still-in-progress Browncoat (Space Pyrate) from Whedon's Firefly/Serenity: Nice work everyone!

Here's a couple of photos of me in garb, hope to run into you sometime on the west coast. with me cutlass: with me old mate Francis: aboard the Royaliste with me flintlocks:
