Living History Demos Fort Taylor Pirate Invasion 2010


Recommended Posts

As Living History is a key factor for this year's Fort Taylor event and each crew is required to provide demos during the public hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I thought it would be helpful to begin a thread for listing which crew will be doing what demos.

Once we see what crews are willing to do, perhaps we can lump some of them together... for instance instead of having multiple weapons demos for each time frame, perhaps we can pool the buccaneers together with GAoP and 1800s so we can also show the evolution of the weaponry. Just a thought...

Looking to do indenture servant/crime and punishment too. Still talking with Master Killingsworth to see if he's willing to show up and help Lilly McKinney with the history of English/American theater too.

Let us hope that Mister Killingsworth never shows up except for after hours... :lol:

Did it ever occur to anyone here that they should perhaps email the leaders of the various encampments listed in being in attendance to see what they're interested in doing?

The assumption here seems to be that everyone planning to camp actually visits the pub here often, or even still. This simply isn't the case and I'm sure they would all be excited to offer up their strengths, if there were to know this was all being discussed here. I know that Jill Handed Red and her husband know many of the period games and have been running them there for four years now. Might want to clue everyone in.

Hurricane, has it ever occurred to you that perhaps you could PM or email your suggestion to those who are arranging the event rather than making what reads as a criticism on the boards?

I use one example of someone who is camping there and will need to have a demo and ask the planners to contact her and that's a criticism of the boards? Geesh!

Sorry. Consider it withdrawn.

I said "on the boards" not "of the boards".

Hurricane, you are a writer are you not? You know what words you use and how to use them. Had you simply made a suggestion rather than starting the post as an "attack" it would not have come across as a criticism.

Honestly I think the suggestion has merit.

If we go...the hubby and I, we will be a drumming, hopefully with the other musicians that show up and for all the pirates, lords & ladies. But our appearance depends upon if we will be able to camp outside of the Fort, since all we haves of right now is a modern tent.

It was not an attack. Rather it was a simple statement of fact. There are a number (not saying a sizable number) of people who are involved in PiP and the Fort Fest who don't visit pyracy.com much. Thought it important that all of us be mindful of the importance of inclusiveness in planning. As such, it was put forth in that spirit with no sense of malice, pot stirring or finger pointing. A simple request. That was all, with a framework of context placed around it.

Right then, so who are some of the crewe leaders that are not on the pub that attend the Fort portion of the event?

i hope to have the rope walk up and going by blackbeard. no problem bringing that along if there is room on the grounds. i think ill need about a twenty foot straight run.

We can try for the space Dutch, but at this point it cannot be guaranteed.
