Hello all! We are three student researchers at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida. Historical reenactment and interpretation are a major part of St. Augustine life (the oldest continuously inhabited European-established city in the continental U.S.!), so for an anthropology class we've decided to study both communities, locally and nationally, face-to-face and online. We are looking to discover what they have in common, how they are different, and what motivates individuals to participate in their respective communities. With your permission, we would like to view online forum activity in order to understand how reenactors and interpreters use online communitie…

I've been a pirate in hiding for a while now, only in the last year or so have I been coming out in public more frequently. My name is Jason and I write programs for apple devices. I currently live in Orlando, but the wife and I have plans to move to St. Augustine. We love St. Augustine, it's a city full of history plus the wife already has a job there . If by chance you find your way in St. Augustine I definitely recommend the Pirate and Treasure Museum. It's a little small, but it offers a big experience. Anyway, just thought I'd introduce myself to all you pirates out there.

An article for your enjoyment today! Massachusetts voters can now register as ‘Pirates’ The Massachusetts Election Division has approved the Massachusetts Pirate Party as a political designation, allowing voters in the state to register as a "Pirate." The party strives to increase government transparency, promote personal privacy, reinforce the spread of knowledge through copyright reform, and abolish patents. "We live in a country founded on the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," the Massachusetts Pirate Party said in a statement. "For many people, those ideals are not real. The Supreme Court and Congress have expanded the power of corporations a…

It's time for the Secret Gift Exchange. Those of you who've been around know we've done this for the last several years with a reasonable amount of success and a few of us/you were looking forward to it again this year. So here's how its going to work: Who is eligible: In the past we've limited the enrollment to only established members of Pyracy Pub. This year, I'll simply split the participants into two categories one for established members and one for enthusiastic newcomers. I feel that this would put those newer members on equal footing, as both parties would be taking a risk with unknowns. Regardless of membership status, by signing up you solemnly agree tha…

I have a booth at an event coming up but I've never had to set up a "period" style vendor booth before. I have a basic white pop up canopy and plenty of decorations for the tables and lots of props but need something besides the canopy for this one. Anyone know of a website that sells or rents more period style tent set ups for a vendor booth?

Ahoy mates, More information will be coming shortly, however I wanted to post now and let you know that one of our own Pirate brothers has suffered a tremendous loss. Many of you are good friends of Captain Bad Jack, who is the lead singer of the very popular Pirate Band *Pirates of the Black Swan* Last Saturday his home was destroyed by fire and while most importantly his wife made it to safety, it took the lives of his 3 dogs and 7 cats. They have lost nearly everything it seems but are even more emotionally traumatized by the death of their pets. I know they will appreciate your thoughts and prayers and as soon we have further information I will pass it along to y…
