Happy Birthday, Mate! check your message box!

I made a point of photographing it for anyone wishing to see the fort from many angles. It's a wonderful setting in a rural part of the Mid West. Nothing but a paved road and countryside. http://picasaweb.google.com/williamtpace/FortDeChartresJune42010#

We're trying to estimate our needs for camp and location at Fort de Chartres the first weekend of June. If you're even considering your schedule for the year and have high hopes of attending alongside us there, please sound off and be counted. Now that we have our foot soundly in the door we hope to enlarge our presence and make ourselves available for living history, the public tug-o-war and other events during the 41st annual Rendezvous at Fort de Chartres. It's a beautiful setting representing the wilderness colonization of the period and it just happens to line up with the year we represent. 1720. If you don't belong to a crew, and even if you do, you are all welcome. http://www.ftdechartres.com/page/page/1396753.htm The List: William "Red Wake" Brand Michaelsbagley Kate_Souris Capt.

Parker is a perfectly sound period surname. Now you just need a good period first name like Henry, Samuel, John, etc. Your name might already be appropriate. If you're looking for a nickname you might wait for it to happen on its own. You might earn one along the way that would be better than anything I might come up with off the cuff.

Welcome aboard!

Great news about the ring!

Dorian and others regularly attend events here... http://oldfortniagara.org/events/

Aye. Glad to have you back and part of the crew, John.

If it helps, think if it this way...Mac is too good for chat. In this way Stynky honors us.

Ha-ha! Mad Pete! When he answers his phone he's quite lively and it was great talking to another, poor, land-locked slob like me. We talked about Estrella War, Pirate groups that just gather to argue with themselves, Fort de Chartres goodness, West Coast events, travel, week long camps, the Pub chat room and Post-PIP-Depression.

I have to use the PC when I chat. My Mac is not welcome in the chat at the moment. Sorry Animal. We saw you come and go many times.

Ambitious and fun to watch in progress. Keep us updated.

Any pirates up Spokane way? Looking at a trip this summer and would love to meet a few fellow Washington pirates.

Aye, a very happy birthday!

Welcome aboard. I hope that you enjoy a long and welcome stay here on the Pub.

You're in Sparks? Wow. A new pirate less than a whole day from me.

I'm seriously considering some prisoner kit next. The problems is convincing Tracy to make me kit that she knows I'll be weathering with a vengeance.

As long as we're getting out our red pencils. It's spelled weskit.

It's great that the crew is hitting Alafia for the 40th anniversary, seeing that we were at Fort de Chartres for their 40th anniversary.

Fort Taylor Pirate Invasion. At FTPI you can camp within the walls of Fort Taylor in canvas tents surrounded by pirates. It runs congruently with Pirates in Paradise and both events run side by side. You can be a part of battles, cannon fire, encampments, swordplay and the like. It may help your decision to read the observations of our own Mission as he records them in the Surgeon's Journal. He records his experiences from numerous visits to Pirates in Paradise. http://www.markck.com/Pirate_Surgeons_Journal.htm#The%20Surgeon's%20Journals

The 1733 Spanish Plate fleet El Rubi...? Cool. I've got some shipwreck coal that I keep in my cartridge box. I may fire a blade with it in the forge some day.

Tony takes some incredible pictures. Tell him to rest once he hits 7,000 and take a break.

...anywhere that I want? (begin evil laugh track here)

A very happy birthday, lass.

I found myself singing it as much as reading it each time I came 'round to the chorus of sorts.
