Just sending out messages in bottles again.

I'm not opposed to June at Ft. De Chartres and/or September at Ft. Osage, and as we're so wide spread, picking any one date and location for all may be impossible. Michael was also looking into an event on Lake Erie which sounds very promising, so we'll leave this discussion open ended until we learna little bit more. Still, any members of the crew wishing to represent the Mercury at events more convenient to themselves are more than welcome to. I'm sending out flag patterns to several crew members who have asked, so we'll have no shortage of Mercury jacks flying about the country.

Close. If you're talking 2005, then it was Captain Jim, Patrick Hand, Mad Dog Mike Wilkinson, Giggles the Pirate and Myself.

I hereby give my permission to my fellow pirates to use my photos for the purpose of presenting themselves as sexy, hawt, seafaring, wunderpirates.

I too would like to extend my best wishes to my fellow Decemberites. Happy birthdays all around.

No. Let's agree to end it there. We'll pick it up again at PIP next year.

I have beautiful plumage.

Not dead. Stunned. Always be certain that people put their car in park before asking for their pogs.

Why not start a Frapper Map for alla th' Mercury Crew ? I would, but Frappr crashes on both of my computers, so that's out for me.

You're most welcome. Here are some from December 5th... http://picasaweb.google.com/williamtpace/PIP2009December5th# ...and December 6th. http://picasaweb.google.com/williamtpace/PIP2009December6th#

December 4th. More to follow. http://picasaweb.google.com/williamtpace/PIP200902#

We're looking at events in the region, so we haven't nailed down the exact month. We're shooting for April to June. I'll post a list very soon.

Jon would be have the furthest to travel to an event in St. Louis so far.

In the hunt for more event ideas, I've been shopping around for something a little closer to home and we're considering an event in the surrounding St. Louis area. I know that we have crew members within six hours of there that could meet up, so we should probably start looking at faires and event locations. It would also help if I had an idea of where everyone is. Of course I'm travelling from 84321, so I'll have to drive quite a bit no matter where we meet. Let's here a shout out of zip codes.

I empathize. I have a period style tavern in my backyard, fully furnished and heated, and not one other pirate to speak of for leagues. Start putting up posters.

I would have to say the brains.

Aye. Contact Stynky or another admin and they can change your Pub name.

Wow. That's spot on.

This list is provided as a roll call throughout the year to gauge the number of attendees who are staying inside and outside of the Fort Zachary Taylor Historical Park at PIP 2010. The attendees will be listed by camp (period or modern) or hotel. Attendees may be a part of any encampment without camping inside the park and interaction during the festival is not limited to camping arrangements. The list merely reflects names and sleeping arrangements of attendees and the list will be updated towards the end of the year with a "confirmed" status for those attendees who have secured their transportation to and from the event. There are many period camps in and outside the fort as well as modern camping and hotels. We would like everyone to sound off as often as they can with updates on when, where and how they will be attending PIP 2010. If you do not know where you will be staying, you may still be posted to this tentative list. Please send me names, tents, hotels, encampment information, etc. Groups will be listed alphabetically by group name. For information on the period camps or other arrangements, please see the other threads in the Pirates in Paradise forum, or post your questions here. To save on space in the forum, I will also be including the names of the Crew representatives who will attend the safety and official meetings for the event on this list. These are the best individuals to contact for information on each crew and group in attendance.

I know. Not subtle, but since so many pirates are bound for PIP and as some pirates are there early, let's see some photos already!

You should find a ride and go. You know you'll feel better after for having gone.

Change of plans or change of heart?

Meave blinked. Just that. She was too tired to navigate a conversation that promised misgivings and rulings. It was too wearying. Part of her ached for food, but more of her was repulsed by the idea of eating anything that might come off a ship's stove. She brushed a hair out of her eye and stilled herself. The threat of seeing madness great or small sobered her, for she had once lived at the very threshold of insanity in the company of a kinswoman. She gave Captain Lasseter the simplest of nods. It was the only way that she could think to acknowledge his request, encourage them both and resolve herself to the task all at the same time.

I have news for you both. Please check your private messages.

I'm almost certain that an accomodation can be made, and as Michael said, please contact Haunting Lily post haste. She's flying down to PIP this very day, but I'm sure you could reach her by email once she's there. If not, I'll get you in touch with Fayma directly by phone. Also, do you have a tent? Would you be willing to make a makeshift one if needed (i.e., a canvas dropcloth lean-to or tarp tent)?
