Th' world is a great an wondrous place

Ah, I forgot one outfit I put together for Halloween. I plan on making a more detailed (read: screen accurate) version of this blouse early next year. And a new sash.

YAY Marion!

yay for both wash and captain tightpants!

For some, it's not too soon to get started on your garb. They have very specific requirements for this event. For instance, women aren't allowed to shoot or carry weapons unless they can look like a man from 10 feet away.

Here are the garb requirements:

As for weapons, Queen Annes are out, as are Brown Besses and later guns. Same with swords, though there is some latitude on that.

So much to do (as always) and so little time to do it (as always).

Thanks Hurricane, I just need to find pictures to go with the visual aspect of my mind

Awesome. Alright I have us up.

you can find the group under the heading of Pyracy!

Michael, can we be best friends? I love the Green Lantern, and it makes me happy to see this

Are there any of you all on facebook?

I was thinking of making a group there, if you all like. A place to post dates and stuff, incase the forum drops or something. Also another way to add one another as friends in the myriad of social networks that are out there.

Good idear? Bad one?

Dammit Sam, there's too many bloody mybooks an facepages out there?

William, Awesome Scarecrow mask

and Blackjohn. I love the derby.. And I didn't know you did WII stuff as well. That rocks

Yay for all the pictures.

Lets me know what t' look forward too next year

Tsh, Dear. Me friends are me anti-drug and me sanity rolled into one. Even if we're on th' bit of the eclectic side

On a slightly funny note, When I get right an proper to the wind, I have been known to somehow sling out a scots accent. A bad one I am assuming, but folks always seem to enjoy it.

I am going to bump this thread, as thre are new pirates like me, a lookin for such things.

Also, does anyone have pics of the shoes Zed converted? I am curious to see what he did to them.

I am tired, an worn out. UNlike ye fair lads and lasses who got t' go a piratin' this weekend. I was stuck in a rather stressful environment. That bein' a play I agreed to do under one director-who left...and now I am stuck under another one who is by far one of the worst out there. Add my school work to that (Though I be nigh done) and I have a cocktail for bein drained.

But soon ye get to come to Florida and we we go Japenese garden touring, and kareoking, and to The Field where we will have BLACKSMITHS and all will be right with the world!

This is true, and this is keepin' me sane at the moment

Since it has been asked. I have a few, because well (I am a huge nerd)

Anyway here is one of my recent ones, that I think I pulled off rather well

Yes that is a Jesus in the background.

And another, better shot, I would argue

And my other costume, this one made recently, me as a Ghostbuster

I look sad, because my proton pack broke

If my memory is correct, the event was on the weekend of March 7th to 8th... So you should be fine there... but i will check the pamphlet I got from William when I get home tonight to make sure.... Jessi, I'm not sure how long of a drive it will be for you, but if yopu are within 4 or 5 hours of St. Augustine, you should be able to make this event without taking time off... I only need to book time off as it is an 11 hour drive.

Rev. Sam, it would be great if you were around and could come out for this one!

Please not I orginally posted Feb. 7th and 8th... This event is in March and NOT February.

Awesome. Yeah I should be good as this runs through my Spring breakage and I cannot think of a better way to spend it

Oooh I might be in the state around that time

There is actually a really good book about this war. I think I still have it from my American history course, but it details one of the Micmac and french raids down on New England, as well as the taking of prisoners. I'll see if I can find it in my study

"Captors And Captives: The 1704 French And Indian Raid on Deerfield " by: Evan Haefeli and Kevin Sweeney On Amazon

I beleive that is the one... I picked up my copy for $7 from the local local overstocked book reseller, if you have an overstock book seller nearby you may want to check that out. Most of the information from that book was derived from the first hand account written by Deerfield's minister, which is also available in print (but not as easy to find)... I can't recall the author's name or the proper title for that one at the moment.

Dutch, if you're paying attention to this thread, this is the book where I found references to Capotes in our period.

Exactly. That is the one. I found it to be a great read. A little dry in a few places, but overall wonderful
