The Colorado Renaissance Festival is something I've sorely missed going to since I moved to FL a few years ago. But this year I am going during a trip with a friend, and coincidentally the weekend we're going will be Pyrate themed (moreso for the kiddies, but still). If any folks local to CO are going to the fest that weekend let me know. I think we'll be there on Sunday. http://www.coloradorenaissance.com/

Ahoy all! Looks like the Pyrates of the Coast will be heading down to Port Royal, Jamaica again for another journey into history. We will be visiting the usual haunts, Fort Charles, the Gaol, the town itself, Morgan's Line and hopefully Spanish Town, along with doing a ghost tour in costume. It's a grand time and walking the streets of the town that is still left is a thrill in itself. Six inches below the current streets are those that were walked on by Anne and Mary, Calico Jack, Henry Morgan, Blackbeard and all the other legends. Puts a real chill in your piratical soul. I think we have 10 of us planning to go right now. Anyone is welcome to join us. We will be stayi…
