I be the Capn. of the H.M.S. Vulture now located in central Florida. My home port is the Bay Area Renaissance Festival others wise known as BARF. I have been involved with Renfaires in one way of another for 15 years. I have been a pyrate at heart since the day of me conception 40 plus years ago. Some say that I am as strong willed as a ragging bull and come off at times like a cannon ball on fire. I am always truthful , sometimes blunt and to the point, and never been accused of sugarcoating the truth. I will stand behind anyone if I believe they are correct , but will tell the same person when they are wrong, as I expect others to do for me. I am a la…

Well now it's my turn for surgery. On Thursday morning, Feb. 19th, my back will be operated on. No one has seen me since Ojai last year and since then, the pain has been horrendeous, walking is more like Frankenstein. It turns out that bone has grown to the point of almost severing my spinal cord and two vertabrae are out of kilter. Originally the doc was hoping just removal of the bone would do the trick - a two hour operation but, after seeing the new X-rays today has changed that to a four hour operation. I will have to have the vertabrae fused and pins and a rod put in. Now I'm only suppose to be in the hospital overnight providing no problems, so keep you're f…

As all the ADMIN and MODS are aware I wanted the rest of you to know as well, I am scheduled to have surgery on Tuesday the 17th of this month to remove the tumors that cause me to be severely anemic. It's been a long time coming and im eager to be well again and drive everyone nuts. I will be in Round Rock hospital for a couple of days and I will have someone post room numbers and such when Im in a room. Thank you for all the prayers and support, sometimes that kept me going when I felt I could not on my own. Blessings to all, Syren

Just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. My name is Sarah and after two ReenactorFests of hanging out with the Crewe of the Archangel I decided that I should probably join their ranks (plus, you can never have enough historical clothing in your closet!). I have been involved in living history for about the past 14 years and am currently involved in WWII after getting bored with Civil War. I look forward to joining the Crewe at events - as well as meeting others. Sarah P.S. Probably should add that I live in Central Wisconsin

Well I'm Sarah and I'm VERY new to the whole "being a pirate" thing. I have an extensive living hist ory background, however and would LOVE to learn about groups in my area... Thanks a bunch.

A toast, grab a mug of whatever floats your boat and toast 6 years at the Pyracy Pub. I know a lot of you have not been here so long, but though I don't post as often as many of you, I enjoy reading what you write, both the serious technical stuff and the lighter fare. That is just how a good pub should be, good strong food for the body, and good strong spirits for the soul. Here is to many more years at the Pub!
