Roll Call 2008


William Brand

Recommended Posts

Because it is never too early...

This list is provided as a roll call throughout the year to gage the number of attendees who are staying inside and outside the Fort Zachary Taylor Historical Park at PIP 2008. The attendees will be listed by camp (period or modern) or hotel. Attendees may be a part of any encampment without camping inside the park and interaction during the festival is not limited to camping arrangements. The list merely reflects names and sleeping arrangments of attendees and the list will be updated towards the end of the year with a "confirmed" status for those attendees who have secured their transportation to and from the event. There are many period camps under the pines and palms along the beach. There is also period camping inside the fort in the 1680 Port Royal Buccaneer Camp, the Red Coat Camp and the Sutler Camp, as well as modern camping and hotels. We would like everyone to sound off as often as they can with updates on when, where and how they will be attending PIP 2008. If you do not know where you will be staying, you may still be posted to this tentative list. Please send me names, tents, hotels, encampment information, etc.

For information on the period camps or other arrangements, please see the other threads in the Pirates in Paradise forum, or post your questions here.

Mission, barber-surgeon, Mercury, period, comma, question-mark and out. Leaning towards a hotel...or a multi-bedroomed house if there are several people interested. (Preferably in the Truman Annex...well, I can dream, can't I?) I wouldn't mind setting up thing like Patrick had, just to try it for one night, though.

The 1681 Port Royal Encampment has already reserved a place for our Catt & Fiddle Tavern and mercantile for the coming year. We'll be redecorating a bit since a year has past and the rogues have broken up some of the furniture and made away with some of the fine rum punch we all imbibed in. We'll be gambling again (period games like Passage and Bankafalet as well as new ones), drinking and storytelling in a newly remodeled tavern on the corner of Thames and Lime in lovely Port Royal.

Confirmed are:

Hurricane

Diosa (aka Mary Read)

Bootleg

Red Handed Jill (ours)

Youngblood

Oryginal Cinn

Touche

Master Studley

Animal

Sheila

Mizzen

Willie Wobble

I will also be trying to bribe Water Rat to fly in from Oregon, my pirate friend for 26 years and a pirate hisself for 60.

May have a few newbies in tow as well some familiar old faces by then.

Without doing a lot of research (I picked Truman's Annex because it is as close as you can get to the event, which I think would be a big plus):

http://www.rentmyparadise.com/CHPics.htm

That particular would wind up being $400 + tax (probably about $50 or so) per bedroom for the week (they say it sleeps 8, but that must be with people on the couch and whatnot).

Only four hundred for the week? Wow, I'm in... of course I will be camping but just for the shower or if needed...well worth the price...

I have to agree with Lily. Prices for lodging in general tend to go up in Key West during any festival / event. You may wish to verify that pricing holding true during PIP.

Here is the price list:

http://www.rentmyparadise.com/kwrates.htm

Low season at these places is thru mid December which easily covers PiP.

However, further reading proves that the other house I linked to (which is indeed a $1200 per week 3/3) is located at mile marker 5. IE - off island. So scrap that idea.

There is a house that is actually in Truman Annex that rents for $2200 per week (which is about right from past experience) here:

http://www.rentmyparadise.com/502.htm

This is also a 3/3 with a sleeper sofa in the "den" making for a 4th possible rental. (I dunno about anyone else, but I wouldn't want to spend a week on a sleeper sofa - call me a soft pirate.) Still, @ 3 rooms, you wind up at $733.33 for the week. @4, it would be $550. FLA tax on rooms used to be 11%, although I don't know if that's changed.

As I said, I'm only glancing at these things to gage pricing. Of course, you get no maid service when you rent a house, so if that matters to you... You do, however, get a kitchen, FWIW.

Dammit, man! Why is my name not automatically on that thar list? Ohyou want a big ol "x" do ye?

X

How about that, Eh?

Oh, yeah, add two more for the wench and the swab:

X X

The swab and I will be staying in a tent. The Wench (aka SWIMBO, She Who Must Be Obeyed) may be staying in a hotel. Doesn't sound like much fun to me, though.

Paula and I will also be there next year but with a bigger tent and some of my woodworking stuff to set up. I have a bow lathe and a shave horse I can bring and maybe turn out a few belaying pins and such if there's an interest in it.

Also concerning the rentals in Key West. I rented a 2/2 in Truman Annex (the last house on Southard) during August and September and the price wasn't too bad. You get a little better deal when you rent for a longer term but it still came out to about $115 a day.

Heck bring all the wood working stuff you can... with the shipwrecks we could keep you busy all week doing emergency repairs, rebuilds etc...

Well ...you can list me with the Arch Angel but honestly ...I will be running the "ordinary" and more likely to side with the Mercury (Arch Angel being British, William being on the and me being Irish, part of my characters history) but I get business from both ...so just call me Switzerland.
