Hampton Blackbeard Festival

Does anyone know the names of the hotels near there???

There be a Ramada Inn fer 'bout $70/night. I haven't found anything less expensive.

I'll be in New Orleans that weekend, but I'll post the info on our crew site in case anyone might be interested.

Pyrates Royale be performin' both days.

Highly recommended for anyone in the area interested in obtaining authentic 18th Century items (clothing, weapons, equipment, supplies, etc) at good prices.

I'm in

Flinty me luv!!! Sounds like a great time. I am sure that me sis would also be joinin. Will this be that we dress in our pyrate finest??? I will send word to Gute.

I vote for pyratical wear!

I can't do April 23 (Market Fair at Ft. Frederick) or 30 (Maryland Maritime Heritage Festival in Annapolis). Otherwise, I'm free.

Will anyone be making it to the Schooners in Fell's Point tomorrow night?

I never heard back from anyone on this, so at this point I'm planning instead on attending the one in Annapolis at the Drummer's Lot next Thursday.

I'm up for another run at Fell's Point in another month? I believe that be 11/10 for next month.

I received the parade application today. Deadline to apply is October 22. Need to know if enough pyrates are available to march.

Sure, Gute. Not sure if I can join, will keep ya posted on it (plus, I work very very close to the Wharf Rat), but you are looking for a group on October 21st at the Annapolis sing, right?

I'll go either way, whichever location/date works for the most interested parties.

Given there be so many Juryrig pyrates in Maryland, would any of ye be interested in paradin' out in Pasadena in early November? It be the Pasadena Business Association's Caring and Sharing Harvest Parade. Usually the first Sunday in November. It's a 2-mile parade route. A number of us who have also been Klingons have done this parade in the past. Might be fun to recruit a band of pyrates instead to march and carry Jolly Rogers. Marchers are asked to collect nonperishable food stuffs for local food banks.

If there be sufficient interest, I be willin' to contact PBA and obtain their parade entry form for ye. I'd march with ye as well if ye'd be havin' it. I'd like to find some local pyrates to do this, and I figured you'd be just the buccaneers for the job.

I am definitely up for this. Also in Annapolis at the Drummers Lot (basement of the Maryland Inn) on the third Thursday of every month.

(Also the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the Royal Mile in Wheaton, but that's a bit of a haul, even though it's a great establishment and I have attended that shanty sing before.)

They are all done by Ship's Company Chanteymen.

A buddy of mine and I are headed to the October sing in Annapolis. Let's organize this thing. Blenderwench, you want to run it up the mast with the Juryrig crew?

Great! Anyone else going?

11:00 sounds like a great time to meet everyone... Gute... we'll drop back around 1:30 to meet you there as well... If any of you want to get a cell number , you can call when you arrive if we miss you. This way, we do not spend all of fair rolling around just trying to get everyone together. I had a very central location and time last year and it still fell apart with everyone coming at different times.

Also, don't forget, to any who show up before the gates open, we will be there on the lookout for all of you..... Keep me informed... Also, I need to know how many are planning on coming here after fair. It looks as if most have decided to go to the encampment instead.. Just let us know, so we know how much food to have on hand. See you all then... Flint

I heard most buccaneers be sailin' t' yer anch'rage 'n' then retirin' t' the encampment.

Meself, I be plannin' on droppin' by yer abode, 'n' ye can lay to that. Need latitude 'n' longitude 'n' a course.

Huzzah on 11:00!!!!!

Watch out, looks like the blender wench will be drinkin early in the mornin!

(what do you do with a drunken sailor...)

Well hell. Morgan can't get there till noon. Be we regatherin' at some location later in the day?

Okay, now I sees the plans fer the encampment at KOA. Some o' us pyrates live nearby. If there's gonna be any post-faire celebratin', we'd be proud t' brings a cask o' rum (or beer) and join in bein' obnoxious and loud.

'ello mateys. Just sos I don't 'ave t' go readin' thru 8 bloody pages to this 'ere thread again, someone be a friendly pyrate and run down the plan fer this 'ere slow-witted buccaneer.

Be we meetin' at th' White 'art at 1:45 or somethin' like that?

And what be the plan fer the encampment afterwards, sez I.

Looks like I Will be able to make it down there on the 25th. Now, I don't know where the white hart tavern is, but I reckon I'll find it. If all else fails, I'll follow the trail of lipstick festooned rogues (and other things).

'e don't know where th' White 'art is? Just listen fer all the bloomin' singin' pyrates, mate! Sooner 'r later, they all comes t' th' White 'art t' 'ear the bleedin' Pyrates Royale!

Sorry t' jump into this so late. I 'ave been out of town, Arkansas no less. I best go to the store an' get some material fer sashes. I may even make Gute wear one!

Not a chance, luv. Unless Constance brings 'er feathers.

Marona, I canna read a lick o' music, but I sings.

That's right! Everyone knows the tunes to all these songs already. And we just work out the harmonies as we go.

Apparently the bokers would all get rip-roarin' drunk (naturally) and decide to hold swordfights in the parking lot. The reason we can't have weapons has to do with the specific insurance company for the fair.

But sword fights in the parking lot would kill off the obnoxious drunks. And besides, I'd pay a month's wages t' see that!

I got me a question (actually two) about MDRF no weapons policy. Now I'm figerin' some drunken sod brandished a weapon in the early days out at Revel Grove, and this be cause for MDRF's consternation. But since the same problem be a potential for PARF, I'm wonderin' if anyone knows how PA has handled it and what the background conversations might've been within the MD camp.

More'n this, 'owever, I be a might curious 'bout somethin' I noticed last year at pirate invasion weekend, when a number of pyrates who clearly were not employed by MDRF were walkin' 'round with weapons (all suitably holstered and sheated, mind ye).

So is the no weapons policy just a wink-n-a-nod thing? Does ye pay off the wenches working the gates? Did these pyrates sneak in under the bleedin' wall?

I not be tryin' to incite a bloody insurrection, mind ye...

Well, on second thought...

No, seriously, I'm just bloody curious, and that be the lay of it.

I'll tell ye why a lime green sash. 'Cause we all be talkin' like friggin' limeys!

I ain't a wearin' a lime green sash. It'll clash with me red sash around me waist and me red coat!

Let's just set a time t' meet at the White Hart. There be 7 pages to this thread, an' I ain't a readin' every one to see if such a time already be set. If there be, let me know. If not, say high noon?

   What, ya were clapped in irons fer 12 years? Ya couldn't send out some hails from Fairfax? Ye shoulda had the bullocks (figeratively speakin' of course) t' start a bloody pyrate crew. 

Timin' be everything in life, luv. But now it looks like ye be located in a true pyrate paradise. Send out some hails 'n' get one started down yer way. 'ere's t' ye! 

Hope ye packed a supply of Pyrates Royale CDs t' take with ye and remind ye of the Northern VA "hell hole." (Shoulda moved out to MD!) 

first of all...you'd have to put me in an iron cage to live in md! (sorry cheryl and flint! *wink)

second....i can't tell you how many times i put out post for meetups! i have witnesses too!!!! even flint threw a cookout.....where were you, luv???

as fer missin dc...i just spoke with slash from "hack and slash" and they will be at the central florida pirate festival...i'll get my fill of va then : )

Well it looks like we just weren't on the same pyratical frequencies at the same time. We just recently decided to pull something together.

P'raps we'll sail south one day. In the meantime, have a rum drink fer me!

GUTE!!!! gotta see ya this weekend!!!

Sorry, luv, it'll 'ave t' be Saturday of Pyrate Invasion Weekend. Already got somethin' planned this weekend.

QueenRogue, we'll be out there on Sat 9/25. Hope to hook up with ye then, if'n not before.

Hmm. Pirate party at KOA afterwards. Sounds promisin'.

Mad Cheryl & Sealegs, I'll be there around noon. Unavoidable mornin' conflict. We'll all have to establish a meetin' place.
