Ello Shipmates, I have started a new blog of me voyages through the pirate world. In the two weeks that is has been up I has written 10 entrees highlighting the event that I have been to such as: Pier Daze, Old Fort MacArthur, Lake Forest Parade, Labyrinth of Jareth, and Ventura Harbor Pirate Days as well as other musings such as a backyard pirate ship, the Pirettes Movie Trailer and the Molly Roger Roller Girls. Please take a look and let me know what you think, mates: http://insearchofpiratewenches.blogspot.com/

Okay you have 30 minutes at a childrens event to discuss the life of pirates. Basically showing the difference between the Hollywood image and reality. What facts would you work in? I actually am in the process of putting a presentation like this together and could use all the help I can get :)

Ahoy mateys! I'm Grace O'Malley from the Hey Nonny, Nonny Players pirate show in landlocked Indiana. I'm looking for some pirate mateys to converse with. I invite you all to come see my new show at the Fishers Renfaire if'n you come out to Indianapolis, and come say Aarrr! to me and my crew. Go check out our sites at www.fishersrenfaire.com and www.nonnynonny.com for more info. The faire is Oct. 6 and 7 and we will be needing lots of pirates to fill our ranks for our pirate parade and zany pirate wedding (wedding only on Sunday) as well.

Hello all. William, the Fiddler from Port Washington here. I was the best fiddler because I was the only fiddler. Of course, that also means I was the worst fiddler as well. Is a round of drinks in order?

Ahoy good scalawags and lasses, Newcomer to the pub and glad to be here. Looking to meet others who enjoy good ale in their stomachs and living their lives upon the Open Sea. A lover of music of all types, collector wouldn't even barely begin to describe it. I enjoy a good story and even more a better Shanty. But enough chatter *places coins on the table and nods to barkeep* Some of your best rum if ye wouldn't mind? Cheers Mates! Cyanne

Salt water is in my blood and I will be a pirate till the day I die. To give a little more info about myself, I am currently studying to get my degree in Socio-Cultural Anthropology.

So there's been an ongoing discussion about each of our forum names, but how about everyone's avatars? Some are pretty interesting - who made their own, who stole them (no shame in that, we're all pirates here)? Is there a link where we can see them up-close? My own was actually made by my brother, back in a day when I went by "spydermunky" online. Since switching my name, I added the red pirate hat and earring, and boom! Instant avatar.

A while back, I proposed/started a signature graphic contest. I had prizes and everything, though the contest was scrapped due to a pub "technical" difficulty. I have noticed that there are a LOT of cool signature graphics now..... I still got the prizes, and am willing to re-start the contest if any of you are still interested. You can't nominate yourself.... Anyone interested? (I will post the prizes when I get back home and can check out the prize locker!)
