Does anyone know what happended at the PyrateCon 2008 Forum? I just registered, tried to post a message, and received a response that "this account has been suspended." I don't get it: is it me, or them? It wouldn't be the first place I've been thrown out of, but you'd think they'd at least have given me the chance to make trouble first! So I'm thinking it must be them, not me. (?) Capt. William

http://www.queenbessandthepyrates.com/ This faire was formerly in Bakersfield, but due to the fairly inhospitable conditions, it has been moved up to Woodward Park in Fresno. I've never been to this park but have been told that it is a perfect location for this kind of faire. Tales of the Seven Seas will be there so stop by and say hello!

Hi I was cruising around the web looking for info on Ojai and stumbled upon this event at Shoreline Village, probably around the Pirates Cove store, (which I have been meaning to wander back to to see if they still had a pirate watch I wanted so bad a few years back). Anyone going to this? May 6th 12-6 Shoreline Village Pirate Festival

The info hasn't been posted yet, but this year the event will again be held at the DEMAS salle Saturday and Sunday May 12 and 13. There is a chance it may be moved to the second salle location in Morgan Hill, but that will be posted as well. Afer much work by Claire and myself trying to find a "piratey" venue Davenrich (Digger) has happily stepped back in to help us out. We either got no replies to our enquiries, got turned down, or got hit up for ridiculous fees which would raise the cost of the workshop for the students, which we are definitely not about. There will be a special rate for 10 or more enrolling all at the same time, and the cut-off point will be 30 peopl…

I have just heard from the folks in Port Royal that the pirate festival is a go - it will be next May - they are waffling between the third and last weekend of the month. It depends when the heritage folks are available and working around some of the national festivals. So chart your course and save your doubloons for a voyage to the Wickedest City on Earth next May (2007). Will post more when I hear from our partners down there. By the way, if you love cannon, the fort has three of Henry Morgan's from his ship, some 40 others, and there are many more that just pop up around. We found a very, very large one used as a curb near the fort. Too funny. Events in the plannin…

I looking for people to suggest any renaissance or pirate festivals that are with in driving distance of Eastern Washington this summer. I'd like to plan some weekend trips to "real" festivals.

HAPPY NATIONAL PIRATE DAY! This is not to be confused with "National Speak Like a Pirate Day" which is held on September 19th. This is just "National Pirate Day", a holiday that has slowly disappeared over the years. The general public has become so familiar with "National Speak Like a Pirate Day" that many people refer to that as "National Pirate Day", so the original holiday has all but vanished. It is now nearly impossible to find any reference to it on the internet, due to this confusion of names. Still, isn't it nice that we get two holidays, almost equally spaced in the year? Two times a year when we can invite people over and serve them stale, maggoty food an…

If anyone is interested, tomorrow in Annapolis, I believe starting around 10, I'll be with a group of pirates who will be kidnapping the mayor (with her consent, of course). Someone is going into the harbor, though I don't know who. Rumors are she may be going into the harbor. There will be swordplay, and if I have my way, gunfire.
