Hey all! The biggest comic convention in California is coming soon, July 14th thru the 17th; the 13th included if you count Preview Night. I of course will be there, like I always have every year since 1994. So, who else is planning on going this year? Anyone dressing up? I think no costumes for me this year, but then again who knows....eh, we'll see-lol!

'Tis a mite early, but I'll plant these seeds for those interested. During the events of 'Tallships Challenge 2005' and 'Sail San Francisco! 2005' starting July 28th, we are organising a spectacular mock sea battle 'War of 1812' era, due to the amount of participating Tallships that carry working armament. Positive response already from ship's and the Fort Reynolds folks, so.....If you are a reenactor, and need a really good 'fix', you might want to head to California for this magnificent event. Angel Island has easy ferry access across Racoon Strait (Named for the H.M.S.Raccoon), and a commanding view of the event as it unfolds.......Royaliste, Lynx, and another are alre…

I have seen random posts of those who live in or around the murky waters of Baltimore, and was curious... Is anyone planning on attending Opening Day of the Maryland Renaissance Festival? I have a large crew of ruffians that will be attending - partially to help commemorate me birthing day.... But, perhaps we can find a time/place to raise some hell and watch the Pyrates Royale and put a face to the name? Here - if interested, I propose meeting at the White Hart Tavern at 12:45, right before the first showing of the Pyrates Royale on Opening Day, August 28th. Any takers???????

My soon to be in-laws go to this every year and had asked that if anyone from the board is going to keep an eye out for them. They be Gary & Betty Hayward. Can't miss them. They're in their 70's and I'll post a pic if I can find one. But if you are going here is Betty's email. bhayward17@cox.net and you can drop her a line to meet and just say hello. Mention you know Lloyd from the pirate board and she'll make the connection.
