I am not exactly new. I was Jean Lafoot, but now I have taken the name Jony Winter (a much more piratey name). I left for awhile to other ports, but now I hope to stay. Right now I have my own blog at churchofljs.blogspot.com (Church of Long John Silver) where I attempt to apply the wisdom of Long John Silver, primarily from Treasure Island and Return to Treasure Island. Oh, to be a financial pirate! But lets not forget the real reason for being a pirate ... to lay on the beach and drink rum. Armen

I'm bloody well at work right now, and going thru the newspapers, I discover an article on Pirate Reenacting in today's New York Times (10-26-08), in the Sunday Styles section. No Quarter Given is mentioned. I didn't have a chance to look at the article. I should also point out, as an item of side interest, my original hometown of Charlottesville VA is mentioned in the Travel section.

Huzzah, for I am no longer a lowly bilge rat! I may now stomp and traverse the upper decks, for I am now...a deck swabber! In honor of this, I have created a gallery in no place other than the gallery section. It's small as yet, but look for Mad Capn Bob in the gallery, and admire me mighty pirate ship, the Henry Crun.

While everyone thinks we pirates are all about taking stuff, every now and then some of give a little back. Our crewe has started a relay for life team to benefit the American Cancer Society. We want to fill their treasure chest with gold to find a cure for this damned disease.... My sister had a hell of a struggle with breast cancer a few years back and thankfully is on the mend after a lot of chemo and surgery. Last year we lost a member of our Pyrate family to cancer and another of our family is battling with it right now. We have started our …

I was going to add this topic under crews but couldn't find an appropriate place. Basically I'm tired driving too and from events for the ones I want to stay for. I've hung around with entertainers at Ojai and was invited back to their "camp". How does one pay admission (lets say for both days), help with entertainment and be a part of the event? From what I was told about renfaires is we need to join a guild. Does anything like this exist around So Cal? I feel a little more dedicated to be a spectator and I want to be spectated (as odd as that sounds). How do you guys do it? Do you just get a ticket and just have fun or do you join up with a crew and help them?…
