To meet the people who have been teaching me so much and didnt even realize it lol, but everyone was great..Mike and "Kate"....it was ALOT of fun to hang out with you two....although Mr. Whiffer had better make sure to keep his hands off my flag otherwise my alter ego "Big Red" will come for you!! lol....but I do have to thank you for loan of the horse pistol...I am now an addict, so I have to go buy one now!!! BlackJohn and crew....wow!! again I say..wow!! This is an event that will be talked about amongst our crew until november...and even beyond then....This was such a fantastic event!! Everything ran great...I was taught a great deal by everyone there and for that I am eternally grateful!! Mr. Tignor....You sir were great...glad to meet you as well..I will see you at many events in the future and I look forward to it....There are tons of people I want to thank but I am not sure I can remember EVERYONE'S name...but I am still grateful for all of your help and companionship!!!! As far as Lady Brower catching on fire...... Kate....you and I have to talk.....we have plans we need to discuss MWAHAHAHAHA

I will keep you son in my prayers as well Midnight, and that you and your family can return to a happy and healthy life once again!! All the best!!!

The Cake is a Lie!!!!!

WoW...that was pretty good lol So what does everyone have planned for this upcoming 4th? I know I am plannign on having a mini event with me crew...PC encampment...with some modern day fun thrown in...like fireworks...although i am hoping that we should have some black powder going off as well!! Its almost like a test run for the lockhouse nextweekend...should be fun :angry:

A few drinks with some good friends....cliche I know....

ahhh thank you for the correction oderlesseye lol. I get the commands mixed up (you would think I would know them in the military but I am a wrench slinger and not carrying a rifle all that often lol), but the miltary did wear tricorns cocked differently than the civilian one for shoulder arms even if the hat is small enough to not really interfer with the rifle. Maybe thats why somepeople wear baseball caps backwards nowadays....so you dont hit the woman with the brim when you go to kiss them lol

From what I know...Blackjohn is right...during the rev war the hat was either cocked to the side or worn off to the side so that the soldiers could carry the rifle at "order arms". So the rifle was on your right shoulder and the hat (so as not to interfere with the rifle) would be worn over the left eye, or backwards...I would have to consult with my rev war freiends buy=t I am 85% sure this is why the hat was worn this way......I will be back with legit sources later

and asleep at the helm lol

Wow, fantastic write up!!! I glad you too the time and effort into posting all of this information!! Well i guess I will leave my kilt at home then for reenactments and just save it for around the house, renfaires, and St. Patricks Day then lol. I believe the kilt I have does not have knife pleats but it is made or worsted wool so it wouldn't even be period correct. I originally bought the kilt (Black Watch Pattern) from Highland Secrets (websites down as of right now) and I bought a great kilt, but cut it into a half kilt and amd saving the extra fabric for another project. Just looking for another excuse to wear it...cause lets face it...they are VERY comfortable (and women love them too). Thanks again for that great write up jack...I'll see ya at the lockhouse next month (wow time flys) and make sure to post picts of your kit when you are done!!!

Ahh bollix all I have for now is a wee kilt...no knife pleats though Guess I will have to stick with the more traditional clothing

I know myself and the rest of the Half Moon Marauders will be camping for sure...so start sewing that tent !!!!

I just wanted to see if anyone had any information on kilts during the GAoP. Did they wear it when they went to shore? I dont think twould be a great idea on board, but maybe on a night out on the town..and if so would Great Kilts or "wee" kilts be the fashion of the times...I would love to see some proof of this so i could break out a few kilts to some events/ pirate balls

I will be on this for most of the afternoon till the dinner bell rings.....or if I am out having a smoke...now to get Lady Brower in there

Well I hope all goes well good sir. I will keep ya in my prayers that everything goes smoothly and that you can make it down to the event this year...

ROFLMFAO That is great...another site to bookmark for myself lol

*walks from his place next to the fire toward the new gentleman and in a think Irish accent says* Greetin's Sir. I'm Kian McBrian. Tis a please ta meetcha. Please have a round on me. *Turns back to the bar* Barkeep..a pint of the black stuff if ya will for your man here and a shot for the rest of the pub on me tab!" *Turns back* "Have a seat sir. Make yerself feel at home"

Black Star of the North...I dunno...just like the ring of it

The rain pattering on my A/C which is quietly humming away....

Just to make sure that everyone understands this, I do have them folded over into the bucket or typical hollywood "pirate boot" fashion, and that's what refuses to stay in place, the bucket itself keeps falling down. I think what Dogge is trying to say is instead of having the leather fold out like you see in hollywood...they would be folded into the boot itself. This way the "excess" leather acts as an internal support instead of an external weight pulling the boot cuff down. So tuck them in and not fold them out...

Wow!! That looks really amazing!! Must be great to see up close and personal lol. I love cannons!! (Then again...who doesn't?)

Wow, very nice kit indeed sir!! I'll be attending the lockhouse as well....see ya there

drool Yeah, might have to drop you a line at some point about those...once I have the money together

This is the New Flag for the Half Moon Marauders...took us a while but we all finally came to an accord and this is the one we will be flying at Havre de Grace, MD

Well if that be the case then..I'll buy YOU a round then OCin. Cheers and welcome back to the pub !!!
