I be comin' and hopin' to meet som of you dastardly pirates! See you all at the fair!

I wished I'd checked the website and seen your post. Since I am ported here in L.A. I could've joined yer crew for the event. As it was sold out at 3 theaters we could drive to that night, we ended up finally getting to see it the 2nd night. But what I wanted to say was, that is great that you got something like 60 people in L.A. to go to this? I been sort of trying to gather up the locals here in L.A. to do something - see "Those ported in So. Calif. - originally to go to the renaissance faire (and now that thread has digressed into a discussion about whether or not the faire is pirate friendly). I hooked up with a San Diego crew and they got a website but they are so far from me I really can't do anything with them except once in awhile meet up at an event. We really should try and get people together maybe just at first for a drink somewhere or something. I am open to suggestions if you would like to pursue this further.

we are having a group going up the faire this weekend - June 7th and 8th . I will be up there on the 7th and anyone interested in meeting up I will have my cell phone on. The number is 323-356-6578.

We are going to have "pirates day" at the Ren Faire in Devore this weekend. If any of you are interested in meeting up, I will be at the faire on Saturday meeting up with some other pirates on this list from San Diego area.

I'm seriously thinking about joining up with you all at this festival - if my good fortunes hold out through the end of this year.

I am active on another board and someone there assumed I knew about a place called the HMS Bounty in L.A. - a bar. Has anyone heard of it, is it worth bothering with and where is it located?

I was suggesting this in another post. I ended up going the first day and turned away after it closed. Supposed to meet some pirates from San Diego there. Ended up going by myself on Sunday and didn't see any pirates (well, maybe 1) I agree this would be a good idea. Like if we could get a list of all the So. Calif. pirates and we could designate a pirate day - a day most of us could attend (realizing people have scheduling issues no day is probably perfect for everyone). We could then run around and it would be like an invasion!

Jamaica and Capt. William, so the cannonball is just rolling along the water surface? it seems if it is rolling along it would not be very effective once it hit. I must obviously be wrong but I am having a hard time picturing it doing the damage. Would be interested in contacting some black powder groups here in So. Calif. if there are any to hook up with. :)

I just watched the Steve Reeve's Morgan the Pirate last night. Appears to be a historically accurate (or at least trying to be as I am no historian) version of Morgan marching across Panama and taking Panama by surprise from behind. Anyone seen this film? The actors voices seemed to be dubbed in as if they are speaking another language; costumes are pretty good but Steve Reeves is wearing a duck tail 1950s hair do ala the Fonz through the whole thing and the love interest has a boufant! They show a guy getting quartered (well not all the of the gorry details). Absolutely attrocious! I don't think the movie explained very well the successfulness of Morgan or the greatness of the march across Panama but then again the main part of this movie revolves around his love interest so what can you expect.

Ah, he didn't mention the UFOs he was busy talking the other gal's ear off all about the PRP and the tall ships festival, etc. that's what clued me in initially as to his affiliation. he was talkin about bein in a movie called Hidalgo. I don't know if it is pirate related but if so maybe we can get him to give us some details on its release date.

Somewhere on this bulletin board someone posted about their group being a pirate group into black powder. I can't seem to find it now. Would like to talk to them. I think they said something like they've got 4 cannons between them. Where the heck can you go firing off a cannon other than at one of these tall ships festivals?

Coincidentally I ran into someone named Al from the PRP the other night at dinner. Now what would be the chances of 2 pirates meeting at the same time same restaurant in Montrose? I wish I would be able to make it to the Ojai event but I am out of town that weekend. I will check the schedule and try and make it to the next PRP event and stop by and say hello. And you say the Renaissance faire is not pirate friendly. So is my friend from S.D. who will show up in full pirate gear gonna be given the boot, dirty looks or what?! All I have is a wench outfit so I guess I should be pretty safe there.

I was thinking it might be kinda fun to try and meet some fellow pirates off this here pyracy pub at the upcoming Renaissance Faire. It might seem really impossible to coordinate but I'm already planning on going one time and meeting up with a fellow pirate from San Diego. If anyone thinks of an easy meeting place that is there maybe a set time..... what ever one can think of. It might be nice if its possible. Will there be any pirate groups based at the faire? I supposed if there was that would be ideal meeting place. Just a thought.

My first thought was to bring penecillan or some type antibiotic but then I have to bring a hyperdermic needle (so that is 2 items possibly?) So barring that one, the one thing that might make most voyages more tolerable would be some food preservative - I don't like the idea of moldy food. If that is no good, I opt for some dramamine as I tend to get a little sick on the water. Lastly I might bring just "RID" with me as I don't enjoy the idea of all those bugs hopping on me either!

YOu know it is quiet when it lists me as a top poster for today and I didn't even post today! I posted yesterday but no one answered. This pub is going to fizzle out if we don't get some interesting discussions going.
