Silkie McDonough Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Twas the Callenish Gunners tales o' this event thet peeked my curiosity 'nuf t' bring me' t' the pub in te first place. That and I spent two days in Key West a few years back and it is Paradise! I know there are camp grounds available near by. Is there camping at Fort Tyler? If so what are the conditions at Fort Tyler? I'm debating weather or not I can sleep without electricity for a few days ...sleep apnea I looked on the POP web site and could find nothing regarding camping at the fort. I don't recall where that impression came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBarbossa Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 For once... having known about PiP for a couple years, hearin' all the tales of the event... I'm hopin' an' makin' plans to go to PiP '06. I do plan to camp, as I was informed by Will Red Wake that it's allowed there. I do so love campin'. :) Thing is... I need to be throwin' together a budget in a manner o' speakin'. So.. if anyone would be so kind as to what to expect? Food, campin' fees (if any), gas (since I be drivin' down to the Key West). drinks, an' whatever else. What's allowed, what's not allowed. What can I do there, can I cook? Can I bring a few bottles o' rum with me to my campin' site? What be the temp there durin' the event. What about joinin' in on the festivities, how much $$$ need I for that? Prepare me, Lads! I mean to go with plenty an' not be short changed. Royaliste! Mate! Lookin' forward to be seein' ya soon enough, too! When will ya be in chicago? An' for how long? I don't want t' miss out settin' foot upon yer lovely vessel. Especially in my attire! :) Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

callenish gunner Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 for those driving the cost of gas will be the largest expense.... as for the camping if ye have period tentage staying in the fort is the easiest way to go ...as for eating, well there are several events thrown by the local establishments that are free to particpants and cooking in the fort is allowed and if some of us co-ordinate the tasks i'm sure that group cooking could be arranged....it sure is much cheaper to feed from the stores than from restaurants ...and if discreet i'm sure that even your private liquor stores would be ok ...as it was on my last trip down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Sounds like a plan t' me, Callenish! Great minds think alike! I like th' idea of cookin' out at the fort an' on the special night headin' out t' eat when we feels like it. Oh, drinks.. aye..:: nods:: need those! Not too early t' start coordinatin'... like ya said. I'm willin' t' cook a feast one evneing or day. Just need t' know how many t' cook for really. And gas... drivin' down m'self as well. If anyone wishes t' carpool from th' midwest... let me know. I'm sure it can be aranged. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

Bunnycutlass Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I would like to make the December 2nd weekend of this. I was wondering if someone would type me off line with the address and any other pertinent link information you think I should know about. I can't wait to go and meet some of you East enders! If you don't forget about me till then! I miss you all and hope I will get to Bunny hug everyone I come across in FL. So, help me get there please! I was going to come in on Thursday, November 30th and go home Sunday or Monday depending on whichever is better. So, since I have never been help a femella pyrate lass out who can't really log into this site which she misses greatly and type me off-line! MUAH!

Patrick Hand Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I can't speek for the Fort.... but a larger Period Pyrate camp would be cool.....gots some stuff gotta send them..... ok smalll games and such...... Dang... I fly all the way out from California...... can't afford the hotels in Key West.... if I can't stay in the fort... dang.... I can't go there........ But if they want a period Pyrate camp...... I will be there next year...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Amen t' that, Patrick! Camping is far cheaper than a hotel and often more fun as well as I get a far better sleep camping than I do in a hotel. Bathing, showers, etc can be easily worked around. It all comes down to the amount of $$$ one has and is willing or able to spend. I'd prefer to use the amount that could be on a hotel or rented home on obtaining piratical items and more items to have with me at PiP! Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

sirhenrymorgan Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 There will be period camping at the fort again this year. The festival dates are Nov. 30 to Dec. 3. It is a four day festival, not 10 as last year. I noticed the website was recently updated with the new information. The URL is http://www.piratesinparadise.com. - Sir H.

sirhenrymorgan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Things start off informally the day before (the 29th) with a few activities, but the bulk of the festival is now four intense days rather than 6 additional days with one or two evening events spread around town. Instead, the vast majority will happen at the fort, the waterfront and the harbor. -- Sir H "Land only holds promise if men at sea have the courage to fight for it." - Sir Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I was there for only four days of last year's event and I had a great time. I think it's better that they focus more events within a few days, and I'm glad to hear of the change. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tudor MercWench Smith Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well, now that it looks like my summer trip to england might be cancelled, I have better chances of heading south in November . . . need to start figuring out what I am doing I think!

William Brand Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 We're discussing carpolling and camping at length under "camping in the fort". A great many people are driving down, so it is very likely that you could get a ride if you chip in on gas money and ask politely. I believe that Hawkyns and Captain Bo are driving.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yes I'm planning on driving down from Missouri. I don't yet know what I'll be driving, as I'm getting ready to purchase my next vehicle this month, but it will at least be big enough to bring one of my gear trailers with me. On that note, you guys that need poles, send me the sizes and how many, and I'll bring some along to leave at the fort for future events if they want to store them. I'll bring extra stakes too.

callenish gunner Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 bo as for stakes this you should know ....the fort is built on on a coral reef with some sandy soil over it .....metal stakes worked best for us the last time :) :) :) ...i'll be coming down from the alleghenies in NW PA and i'll be bringing at least a dozen or more tin candle lanterns and a few hundred candles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention this before. The ground is pretty solid only a few inches down. Natures own concrete with a little padding on the top.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sounds familiar. The Ozarks are limestone and chert and ... well... ROCKS! Some areas have enough scatterred topsoil to hold grass down in a breeze, but trees have to carry canes to survive! OK, maybe not THAT bad, but I get the picture. 8" metal stakes in abundance should be sufficient then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnycutlass Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Those are fyne dates in deed and I most likely will be roughin it in a hotel! As Much as I would like to camp it will be too hard for me to do at that time of year. BUT FEEL FREE TO HIDE ME IN A TENT FOR AN AFTER PARTY! Can't wait to meet you all in November I am really looking forward to it! Bunny Cutlass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Dread Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 aye! i cant wait to go! i will probably go into the keys alone because i do not have any pyrate mates... it seems that i'm the only pyrate going from these parts. i am 3 - 4 hrs away from the keys and will be looking into a hotel down there. anyone wanting to travel together or in a group can let me know... i'm sure we can get better discounts that way. this will be my first time at the PIP.... and i'm still getting my pyrate-wear together! ...up close and personal means one of two things: You are either waking up with me in the morn or I am the last face you will ever see...</span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkyns Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Moonlight skinnydipping-- now there's the best idea I've heard yet. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
