Gunpowder Gertie

Sounds like folks will take care o' you me friend!

Not to worry - I've done the same thing- arrived at events where I only knew folks from a messageboard- and I've never had it turn out badly, yet!

Made some amazing and long lasting friends, I have!

You will be fine! But- if ye want t' be recognized at any event- think about somethin' that'll be unique to you- yer signature piece as 'twere- and ye'll be alright!

I should be getting there around 3 on Tuesday (airport) .... Just called the Doubletree hotel ... $149 per night and 3.5 miles from downtown ... kinda far

Ah mate - so ye ARE goin'?

Good on ye! I'm sure ye'll have a grand time!

It is always sad to lose one in a community..but to lose one so young as well

RIP my friend, and Godspeed t' Fiddlers Green

Aye- and, where ever ye go, there'll be vendors who have more and more accoutrements for your costume/garb and yer character too!

Lady B is right- as long as ye have the basics- why then ye're ready t' add t' yer character, as it evolves!

Ye don't necessarily want t' show up full blown, and then discover some o' yer stuff doesn't actually fit the character what be developin'!

Especially if ye haven't yet decided on yer plan o' attack- be it period correct, Hollywood - er whatever.

Aye- wanna bump this- c'mon ye scurvy dogs- keep votin' fer Oderlesseye!

Ahoy Big John!

Being a fellow pirate on th' other side o' the coast, I feel yer frustration at a lack of Canadian piratical events!

I believe there are a couple o' good events in Halifax- I'd be lookin' there. O' course the Florida events are wonderful- but there is quite a bit, I be thinkin' along that eastern seaboard!

With yer size Matey, I'd say ye'd likely make a grand Blackbeard..if nothin else, a fair great swashbucklin' rogue! Welcome t' the pub, mon ami.

and ally? p'raps! PIRATE!

Again, welcome. There be much in the Pub t' keep ye amused, informed, and dare I say it...compelled.

And not to worry, Mate. I've made many a friendship here on the pub, and Facebook, and a couple o' other piratical message boards. Ye'll quickly find others ye know- t' meet up wi' ,sup with, and drink with at any event ye care t' attend.

Welcome Mad Zan!

D'ye happen t' have a meatpie or a mug o' ale about yer possessions?

Ah. no matter- welcome t' the Pub, Lass..always ready t' welcome another mad 'un!

Thankie for ye support ~

Aye- we got a few more days t' increse yer fan followin' Eye!

Haharrrrr!

Me and me crew, the Buccaneers o' the Black Fleet has finished a little project. It's a parody of Lady GaGa's Bad Romance video. It took longer than expected, due to the weather not co operatin', me old video camera kept breakin' down.. but we had a ton o' fun makin' it.

If'n I might be so bold, I heared tell from others what own that blade.stories abound o' the blade snapping off in the scabbard..it happened t' me own mate Black Tess. Sword had ne'er been pulled. Heard tell o' several maties what the same happened.

Buyers beware..ye get what ye pay for...

I heard this as well- and I did some research, and apparently it is true. She just underwent about 3 million dollars worth of refurbishment, so perhaps that is why they are selling her.

YEah ..3rd row from the bottom ..second from the right..name is Ron..

HAHARRRRRRR!

Yer done, ya swab!

And I'll do it agin tomorra!

Aye Lad- yer makin' me drool with anticipation...these are grand pieces fer sure!

I'm sorry lass. Did ye not find their tent or was their tent void O'RootJack?

Did not find the tent..I blame th' rum o'course...

I couldna find it.. I came home Rootjack-less!

Wargh!

Haharrr! Aye- after piratin' and pillagin' at the Portland Pirate festival for the day, we also stopped off at a Red Lobster on the way home! Endless shrimp......ahhhhhhhh!

to recap: spent time with Cap'n Slappy-on TLAPD- in our best piratical gear, and then finished off the day with shrimp...ahhh- a Pirates life fer me!

Best TLAP Day EVER!

Hahar!

Could I finally acquire some o' that piratical elixir?

Since I am gonna be attendin' the Portland fest- p'raps!

Just confirmed... Guardian Games will be at the Portland Pirate Festival this weekend with RootJack!

Why, I be hobblin' about on me wooden peg leg, with joy! Wait! I don't have a wooden leg!

So I be hoppin' about with joy..and plottin' how much I can bring home! Haharrrrr!

sign me up for one!

Oi- I got mine today!This batch was certainly impressive! I've just opened the envelope- and on first sight they are amazing.

Oi- I was perusin' the Arrrrbay- an' I came upon this little item. Looks like it was from a Sony movie- o' course I be thinkin' Cutthroat Island, though it doesn't say that in the listing. But I thought I'd post it here, in case any o' ye scurvy dogs are interested in yer very own peg leg.

PEG LEG

Happy Birthday t' ye, Matey! Hope yer day was a grand 'un.

Nope- nothing yet.

Oi- the idea originally was t' go and t' debut our Airship pirate personas..but what wi' the Pearl requiring much careening and replacing of sails, well- it may not happen this year. If we cannot attend in costume, we will probably attend fer the day in mundane adornment, and use it as an opportunity to complete said Airship Pirate- and pilot- garb.

Seems like the problem is the fact that it is size 8. I myself am also in the market for two hat blanks of this size- should ye find a supplier, Capt. Scurvy, please let me know.

There be Canadian pirates in Toronto I be thinkin..and here in BC. Dunno about Winnipeg though...perhaps..a road trip?
