Not a specifically pirate event (although pirates are very welcome), this event is for all living history portayals that focus on the "Bad Boys" (and girls) of history. PIrates, highwaymen (and highwaywomen), rebels, gypsies (the historical kind, not the Renn-Faire fantasy image), and other historical portrayals from the "darker" side of history are perfect for this event. The locations is at Historical Tunnel Mill Living History Center in Charlestown, Indiana. While not a strictly juried event, folks wanting to come should have their impressions based solidly on historical fact and not fiction. The timeline is loosely the 18th century (basically the long 18th century, o…

Here in Depoe Bay, we have plenty of Pirate businesses... Pirate Cove gift shop, Pirate Booty Pub, Pirate Coffee Company, and down the road a spell there's Captain Dan's Pirate Pastry Shop, Pirate Island, Pirate's Plunder. There was until recently a pub called the Black Pearl. Why? We have a bay called Pirate Cove on any map you'd care to look at. Then there's the Sea Hag restaurant, and my own shop: Things Rich and Strange. All good reasons to visit. But wait! Each August we all get together and put on the Pirate Treasure Hunt, Saturday August 21st to be sure. Teams of four compete to win treasure chests stocked by the local merchants and every team's a winner, of cours…

Hello! We are trying to come up with bumper stickers for Pirates of Paynetown advertising and fundraising. I thought I'd give folks on here the option of voting for their favorite bumper sticker out of the ideas presented here. I can't guarantee that the number one voted sticker will be the one we have made, but it's very likely... 1) Sailors are Knotty 3"x3" 2) Prepare to be Boarded 3"x3" 3) Smugglers Local 319 3"x3" 4) Royal Navy/Pirate Hunter 3"x3" 5) Anne Bonney, Eat Your Heart Out 3"x3" 6) "Heart" of Oak 2"x6" 7) River Pirate 2"x6" 8 ) Sailors are Knotty 2"x6" 9) Boarders Away! 2"x6"

Calling All Sea Dogs and Scoundrels of Some Repute (and Those who have hearts bigger than their deck): I be needing your help, my brethern and sisters of the seas. Due to health and pregnancy complications, the lady who was going to provide children's entertainment and games for the Illinois Renaissance Festival has had to pull out under physician's orders. Our thoughts, prayers, and wishes for an end to the complications and a safe delivery for both mom and baby go out to this courageous lady. Sadly however, we, the board members of the IRF must now find a replacement so that the children of the realm are not forgotten. To that end, I am asking for t…

For those who may not know, the Beaufort Pyrate Invasion is the reenactment of an actual event at the actual location. This is the only Reenactment/ Festival I know of that does such. Were this not reason enough to attend, the location is beautiful. Looking across from Front Street to Carrot Island, you can see wild ponies grazing in the evenings. The Blackbeard presence. As you may know, the wreck presumed to be the "Queen Anne's Revenge", has been found and is being excavated off the Beaufort-Morehead Inlet. The North Carolina Maratime Museum is the repository of the Artifacts! From Sewing Needles to Cannon. All are indicative of the age and size of this vessel. The …
