Madam Macaw

<SNIP>

Knowing meself, I will make a B-line for white hart as soon as I get there to kinda check in and get a roll-call.

Me thinks, I will be there already with me mates and a full tankard!

just an idea, anyone interested in finding somewhere to eat after the faire on sat?

Aye, that might be a very fine idea. Me be hav'n to check with the mate you is navigating, but me thinks she will love the idea.

The KOA camping sounds like a great idea - I would love to get another use out of my period tent this year.

I think me mate might not be up for KOA, but will be meet'n ye all at the pub to be fill'n up me tankard or me bag.

i'll be there at the kilt company. we are really busy on Sat so they won't let me take the day off.

Well, we will most definitely have to bring the crew to you! Don't despair!

Aye crew I have posted my pictures from Pennsic. They can be found on the ships web site in the photo section, or at the following link:

Duncans Pennsic Pictures

With the opening of MDRF I want to start getting crew mug shots !

Excellent pics Duncan! Yumm on the sacrifices!

I look forward to meet'n ye and hop'n to pay me dues for the Juryrig next week.

Well, I went to the store to pillage and plunder and find some other PPs! I bought red ribbon fer me skirt and me hat, and found some nice white PPs to put on me hat so other mateys can see.

Can't wait to meet the rest of the crew!

MDRF lost one of it long time booth owners just last night.

Ken of the Ken Show, The Museum of UnNatural History passed away last

night after a long battle with C--------. (In respect for Ken, who

would never tell anyone what was going on, even though we all knew..)

For those who didn't know him, but I'm sure ya would recognize him.

Ken was the freak standing outside the booth, with the spiderwebbed

tunic, black nail polish, black eyeliner, big boots, and all this on a

guy in his 50's with a braided blonde beard down to his chest.

To quote him directly, "darn, I still can't believe their letting me

make a living at doing this."

Ken was a real artist, all the disturbing and weird exhibits in the

show were designed and sculpted by him. His sense of excellent wit was

shown in the the jars of unknown specimens and such. I won't give away

the nature of the work, because I would like to challange all of ya do

drop by, maybe bring a rose to leave at the "Cursing Well" for Ken,

and if ya never been in the Museum, or even if ya have I go back every

year and snicker at the exhibits. His family has pledged to keep the

booth operating during this season. It easy to find, look for the

giant wall of skulls. And my wish for Ken is that he be pickled and

put on display somewhere. I know that he would have appreciated

freaking everybody out forever............

We could not go Sunday had plan to do something that day. I am looking forward to meeting everyone for the Maryland Pirate Weekend. Need to save me gold now or I won't have any for the ren fest.

Aye, look'n forward to meet'n you that weekend also.

Me first mate isn't goin' this weekend so he can save me some gold!!!

Aye - hopin' to find some good trinkets fer me coins.

Me matey even asked about season tickets for me - now isn't that a hoot. Though maybe next year. Havin' too much other stuff to do and pay for.

Hey guys!!

Oh, soooooo excited for this saturday!! I need a PP too!!! Maybe I'll be able to think of a good Bawdy Bunch song :)

I'll be going to the store today on the way home to pillage and plunder. Iffen I see some stuff for the right price, I will pick up extras.

We be goin to both the PA and the MD pirate weekends. :)

I'll be look'n forward to meet'n ye then.

Did ye only go to PARF on Saturday?

Well, lets see here...there be openin' day, an' pyrate invasion to be sure. Scottish an' closin day are a must as well. whos comin' with me?!?

Aye - I'll be there, and probably Oktoberfest too!

Just to prove that I DO actually post occasionally...

I had a great time at the meet up on Sunday. By the end of the day, I felt like I really had some new mates (which is good, 'cause the old ones kept running away). So who has all those pictures? I'm not quite sure I can swing it yet, but I'm working on making it down to MDRF for the Invasion on Sept 25th. Anyone know where I can get a PP?

Good to see ye!

It was truly a pleasure meet'n ye at PARF and hopin' to see ye again at Pyrate Invasion!

An Ode to Pyrate Weekend

EXCELLENT!!

Tippin' me tankyard to ye.

Next time, hope to sit with you as I was a bit preoccupied at PARF.

We will bring over a bourding party to keep the party from getting bourd....

How much did the pin cost total????We all could make a replica for future events.

I'll be stopp'n by the craft store today to see what they have.

Iff'n I have enough coin for two do you want me make ye one too, as I am in deep gratitude over the pic of me matey.

Looks like the matey might a'been caught cheatin, eh?

::looks at unregestered post she just made:: maybe I drink a wee bit too much?

Nay - there is no such thing!

[Aye if you are interested in signing on make sure ye catch me at MDRF for a introduction. White Hart is usually where we drop anchor for the day.

4 Days And Counting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am lookin' forward to meet'n up with ye at White Hart. I will one of the loud red-heads with Blender Wench!

Wish'n to join the jury rig also. I signed up through the web, but yet to send me dues, so will be talkin' to ye more over a couple of tankards on Saturday!

Juryrig, aye??

Sounds like me kind o' crew.

be ye needin' another hand?

Is this me wee one with the sore feet?

aye, can't make it till Sunday... but iffen you be there on Sunday, how about same place, at the OUTDOOR pub next to pyrate ship, at 1:00?

Sorry, luv, we'll only be thar on Sunday.

But then I'm not suppos' t' be postin' meetin' place here, now, am I?

I been a baaaad boy. Which one a you wenches gonna spank me now?

Oh, my - did someone request some spankings???

Blenderwench adores mine! Iffen ye be up to it (hehe), I can borrow blender's cat-o-nine fer ye! I will try to be gentle, er not!

Okay - I am still trying to compose myself after Sunday and then looking at pics today of that scrumptious big strapping man - okay getting off subject again.

I have extra red fabric for a sash - two different reds as a matter of fact. So let me know what the plan is and I will work it out also.

I have bought quite a bit of stuff on ebay and luckily, have only been burned once. I bought a beautiful, stunning bright leather bodice (not period, but I loved it). When I got it, not only was it a totally different bodice altogether, but wrong color too. I tried working with the seller, nothing, went through ebay's fraud (he also copied the picture from another person), did everything I could and nothing.

I guess that is one of the risks of buying through them. They have so many items at any given time, it would be hard to catch everything. I Some friends of mine have reported listings with live animals which aren't allowed, but some get through.

My advice to anyone buying through ebay is research the seller, the item, their feedback (negative) and go from there.
