I'm sorry, I don't know of any, but I just had t'express me glee in finding that this shop be in Haverill, MA. I might be having to make a drive down there soon!

Curses! Chance'd be a fine thing indeed! I didn't even look at th'price tags on them there treehouses,, I figure it be best if I don't. I already know I can't afford 'em. Maybe when I a) Win the lottery b ) Somehow inherit a grand fortune c) Am involved in a bank job and somehow get out of it scott free d) Become terribly famous fer me annoying dry wit e) (preferably) All of the above. As I said, chance'd be a fine thing! Heheheh... luck. I thinks not.

::snarflechokewheeze:: Thousands of quid! Holy christ! I think some of their stuff is a weeeee bit overpriced there. There is a shop in Ougunquit(sp?), Maine, that's 'supposedly' a smoke shop, however, the whole front room is filled with military stuff from the revolutionary war through to WWII. They have some fabulous Admiral Hats that I've been coveting for the past year. I'll try and find the name of the shop and post it for you. Foxe, whereabouts do you live? My dad still lives near Reigate, and I was born in Epsom.

This be the... ahem.. censored version of the notice posted up on a friend's livejournal: This be next saturday, btw which is.... uhhh... the 25th of June! At Noon in front of the Main Entrance, the usual pack of nightcrawling oddities and sinister-looking cartoon characters will expose themselves to the rays of the Hated Orb™ long enough for brief photographic evidence, discount passes and a quick encounter with Park Security. You may also want to slap on some SPF-1000 to maintain your unwholesome barroom pallor. At 5PM, survivors are invited to congregate in the region of the bumper cars for grisly group photos followed by mass domination of the Blood-Soaked Abattoir o' Doom (The Bumper Cars). Yes, we know this is backwards, but we're going to try it this way this year. A word in the ear of any of you nicotine addicts or those of you whose film noir status would be compromised by failure to chain smoke - SMOKING IS STILL ALLOWED IN PARAMOUNT'S KINGS DOMINION. The extent of their policy is (and I quote) "Be aware, smoking is not permitted while riding rides, standing in lines, anywhere in WaterWorks or in any gift shop." So knock yourselves out. Besides, you probably don't want to smoke on the Flight of Fear anyway - the filter'd most likely go flying into your mouth and blow out your spine through the back of your neck. And yes, they still sell booze. Hey, listen up! The folks who run this establishment have some rules that they'd like you to follow. No cannibalism. No pets. No assaulting members of the clergy. No castrating, neutering, or emasculating other park-goers. No loading yourself up on methamphetamines, crack cocaine or hallucinogenic toads. No inappropriate use of home improvement materials. No displaying the words "F*** You" on any article of your clothing. No killing total strangers even if you really like their coats. O.K., that's pretty much it. You've been warned, but if you've still gotta go ahead and violate these rules, then expect to get the living crap beaten out of you by King's Dominion's savage army of animatronic prostitutes. Actually, we were just kidding about the prostitutes, but some of the security officers may be wearing thongs. DISCOUNT TICKETS: Putz has tickets available now or for $26 tickets on-line: Go to website http://www.kingsdominion.com click on tickets, click on Corporate Partners and enter our code which is DCFRK03 ____________________ I told you it was... ahem... censored. Anyway, so that's that. It should be an awesome time!

I don't think I be knowin' of any stores round there, but I'm no expert, t'be sure. As fer clubs, I'm pretty damn sure there are no pirate clubs, though ye'd do well to check out websites of goth clubs near wherever ye be living, as some goth clubs have pirate themed nights now an' then... or ye could just go t'the goth club in yer fanciest pirate garb. Aside from the garb I made, me garb all came from antique stores and second hand stores, or ren faires. Ye just have to be creative with what ye find. ( I found meself a fabulous velvet frock coat at an antiques store, along with me matching waist coat, both in hunter green. It pays t'look!) Try some o'the thrift stores down in NYC. Also, there's a woman near St. Marks Place ( if she's still there, it's has been a while, I confess, aye ) that does most excellent dreading and braidning work, she can do extensions and such too. What's this about a pirate "Phase" though? Be ye a day tripper? I'd like to hope we could keep ye 'in phase' as it were.

You're most welcome.

PS: A few skirts in different colours, layered and arranged poofily will add a more wenchy look too.

Well, my first real garb ( which could also be used for more piratey wench sort of things) Was very simple, but looks great with the right accecories. ( would be great if I could spell! ) Anyway. A chemise, an elastic or drawstring skirt ( leaves room for growing ) and some kind of vest or unboned bodice type thing. A chemise is very simple to make, and goes with everything! Custom Elizabethan Smock Generator The site above will give you directions on making the patter ( it's dead easy ) once you've put measurements in. With a chemise, it's fine to go a little larger, especially if she'll grow into it. A drawstring skirt is really freakin' easy. It's just a loop of fabric, with elastic or drawstring in one edge, then, embellish as you wish. The bodice, i'm not sure about. You could check out halloween costume patterns from simplicity or McCalls at wal-mart or wherever. Essentialy ( at least I think so) the finishing touch should be a hat. You can buy hat blanks at Jas Townsend, and stitch them however you like. Jas Townsend & Sons, Inc. This is just my tu'pence worth.

:: cough snarfle wheeze :: Are you kidding me? 41 Quid for a Denix?!!! I got an english flintlock and a blunderbuss from them for about 30 DOLLARS each. This guy's an ass! Also, I've seen that same sword at Cons, for a crap-load less than that. Freakin' ridiculous, I tell you! And, speaking of fraud, I got totally shafted on e-bay last year. I bought a medieval crossbow, supposedly sca approved, and i never got it, never got a refund, and the guy won't return e-mails anymore. he got kicked off of ebay and paypal. I ahve his real name and his SCA name, but don't know what to do about this. I was considering writing to his Baron and Baroness, and letting them know what he'd done, since he's a Knight. I think i'ts too late now to move for a wire fraud charge.

Sort of off topic, but I love the Jay Gatsby doll from the first site, also, the William Shakespear. Jack is a wee bit scary, and I'm not partial to Will Turned to begin with. I despise Orlando Bloom.

Alright, it's mostly official. Kindred Party, first Thursday. Much like Vlad's Masquerade party last year, this will be a themed party. It is a colour themed party infact. Since kindred colours are red and black, we decided to go for White with green accents, as this is the exact opposite. So, white garb ( I.E. white shirt and pants, with green accent ) is the code. People not themed will not be let in right away, though, the doors will be opened to the general mob later on. Just as a heads up. Feel free to come visit me, I'd like to get to know you all in person. Just ask one of our Clan where to find The Limey, or Sam, The Limey.

Check southwest airlines. www.southwest.com It all depends if they fly to the airports that you're looking for, but they're usually really freakin' cheap, and you can pick which flights you want. i fly with them really often, 'cause they're so cheap.

I have no live firearms, though I will be learning crossbow and hopefully will be purchasing a crossbow this year, thusly to join The Bastard Brigade. I don't have enough upper body strenght for bow, but I've enough combined arm strength to cock a crossbow... is that even the correct term? Sometimes I question my brain, I really do... I meant draw......... lol

Oh wow.. I should have looked at how many pages are here. Hahahahhaha... I just replied to a post from the first page. Oops. I Am Smrt!

Ahhhh... not all of us Limeys are stiffs. ^_~ ::grin::
