Hi everybody! I've been browsing this forum for months, as a flibustiers fan. I come from Bretagne (France), and I apologize for my basic english. Basically, I'm in a company reenacting britto-roman soldiers in the very early middle-age but I've started a 1670-80 flibustier kit recently. Piracy and flibuste period is not much reenacted in France, so...here I am! kenavo!

Avast there! I just joined this forum... Really glad I did! (And I can't believe I didn't catch up with it 'til now)... Let me introduce myself: My name is Chris Leidenfrost-Wilson, but I'm better known on the high seas as Captain Henry Martin. I'm a pirate actor and folk-singer and also a member of the NY singing pirate group, The Crimson Pirates. (There will be much more on this later... for more pressing matters are at hand!) Anyway, Stoli vodka has selected me and my pirate persona as one of ten finalists for their next "Stoli Original" campaign. Now-- I know what some of you are thinking-- "pirates only drink rum! Arr! What are ya thinkin' lad?" But honestly, …

Anyone know of good festivals to go to in the northeast (like ... draw a line from the western NY border straight down to the Atlantic, more or less). I have found a few that offer the likes of "cardboard boat races for the kiddies" and "face painting" and "fun with balloons," but I am afraid that FTPI has ruined anything like THAT for me! LOLOL If you know of a good one (or two .. or ten) and you are (might be) GOING, all the better! Would be nice to hook up with "old" friends again. I'm not asking for stuff even *I* could just find by chance with Google. I am referring to ones that you KNOW are worthy of a FTPI veteran! ;-) BTW, my HAT came in! WHAT A NICE HAT…
