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)?

No. Jim Warren for Captain.

Today's special... A very happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

Spanish silver and gold was shipped in a variety of sizes and shapes, so there is no real right or wrong when making prop bars and ingots. I've seen bars that were three or four inches thick and a foot and a half long, so you could get crazy with the gold. I would suggest that you have a fine mix of large bars and smaller ingots and here is a page for good ingots images and dimensions... http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinText/Sp-Gold.1.html

Have her take a picture of you brandishing it in a piratey fashion.

Excellent. Take objects or a small ruler for scale when photographing anything at the museum, assuming they'll let you take pictures of course.

I would love to see more 'How to' pages which demonstrate how to cock a hat, do fancy buttons, etc. Leatherwork, sewing, and carpentry articles that demonstrate the step by step of period fabrication. Something as simple as Gertie's 'aging a replica flintlock' thread was a good show of 'how to' for those getting started. http://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=15250

I stand a corrected, and by some of my own research this week. I have found several examples of baldrics as wide as 2.5 inches, though I have found no period leather baldrics wider than this. We need more people with rulers and cameras at museums.

Gibbet is working on period belt buckles and he recently asked about period belt widths. Of course, I thought of this belt first and now I'm curious to know what widths you've come across in your research for belts and baldrics. Beautiful work, by the way.

Tin wares were around. Germany imported tin goods to London and other places. You just have to be careful discussing tin when talking about the where and when of tin, for tinware was produced in limited quantities in specific places depending on the date, and of course banned by various controlling laws of England at different times. Most tin produced in the Americas came after 1720.

With PIP coming up fast I just wanted to be certain that everyone is provided for. I may have promised an extra tent to someone that is no longer attending and I wanted to be sure no one is left out in the cold. Please let me know if I spoke with any of you about providing you with a tent at PIP. Thanks.

Am I persistant? Aye. Am I silly? Aye. Am I wrong...? No. I'm having bumper stickers made up.

Robinson Crusoe. Unabridged. Next up...Tales from the Decameron.

Apart from the heavier, fancy cloth baldrics of the same period, leather belts and baldrics seem to be conservative in style and width. Examples in art and archeology show that belts are often less wide rather than more wide. I think one and a half to two inches is decent size for a baldric of the Golden Age if you're seeking a standard range. My two cents.

Noted.

This is why you should be captain.

If you haven't already read it, I humbly recommend this thread as well, but humor and extra blankets are a must. http://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=14604

Women's sizes go all the way up to 3X, as do the men's sizes. Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far. I should have no problem filling enough slots for a short run and they should be screened in plenty of time for PIP.
