Captain Mickey

Fer yer viewing pleasure, I present The Voyages of the SheBuccaneer. Tis a comic of the first rate. It tells the tale of a bonnie pirate lass with a single minded pursuit to find her lost captain love. They have recently posted all of the issues online fer free. The Voyages of the SheBuccaneer I do be especially partial to the Episode 4 since there be such a dashing pirate on page 27...

Fer me, it will be a first to actually make it! Perhaps the Two Gentlemen of Fortune will make an appearance in the Merchant arena...Or I may be able to rally me Harbinger Crew to attend in force.

Captain Sterling, Wanted to make an official post here. I have been in contact with Spike, and the Crew of the Harbinger would like to make a request for space. I am attempting to get a full head count, but as it stands right now, If we could, please put us down for a 8x6 tent space and a 10x10 common area (tarped and appropriated). I should have an official head count shortly. I am a little behind the clock with the organization of this and am working with aplomb to make up fer lettin the wind spill from me sails. Now I say this knowing this be not the place, but who/where/how do I speak to regarding black powder permits/participation/saftey check fer me crew mates and I who are looking to participate?

Well, it be looking that I am called to duty fer the final weekend o' PIP. What I be a ponderin' is that if it be worthwile for me first PIP to make the trip fer the first weekend only? What says ye, me learned bretherin?
