Return to the Goondocks Convention I think the Goonies Fans need a few pirates at their party... What say you? Goonies Fan Convention as per Andy the Original Goonie from the UK! Event features are - JUNE 3-5 2005, ASTORIA, OR 1 - A cinema screening of the movie in Astoria! 2 - Bus tours of Astoria, Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park 3 - Entry INSIDE the County Jail!! 4 - Possible cast signings - To be confirmed nearer the time*

You can buy Liver of Sulphur form Dick Blick or other craft/hobby suppliers. I have used it for "antiquing" silver lost wax cast jewelry items. About $3.00 for a 4 oz. bottle. Works on silver and copper. You would want to follow up with a electric buffing tool (SOFT Polishing- like a craft dremel tool) to remove the highlight areas leaving recesses black. Dick Blick

Great job and thanks for the resources too, Was looking for a clasp like that!

I too always held out there was hope for Bootstrap...(and rec'd much chiding fer my belief). That's why in the Portland, Oregon version of the POTC Interactive script we always yell "Go Find Bootstrap Monkey" after the credits and during the monkey scene. My theory is that the monkey finds Bootstrap, and adopts him as he no longer has a master since Barbossa is dead. Poor Monkey all alone! The little sneak is likely to announce Bootstrap to just the wrong people at the wrong time! Just me foolish theory Buckos! If'n I was telling the story. Bootstrap and Barbossa could still just turn up in flashbaccks or dream sequences and not in real time, as it were.

New old favorite... I finally bought meself a copy of Captain Bogg and Salty's, Kevin Hendrickson and Paul Iannotti's' earlier Portland pirate Rock n' Roll Band... Pirate Jenny- Never-Sea Land (1996) "We sail and sail and never see land. We never got rich, cause we didn't have a plan. Now the treasure just rusts in the corner of the galleon." Other gems: Smiling Skull Sensitive Pirates No More A Pirate's Life is Peaceful (until someone cuts you up) available from Amazon

Aye, Shayna is a purveyor of good inexpensive, imported garb for that gypsy Pirate look. I own several of her skirts and a shirt and they've held up well for dancing and raiding parties. Colorful bits 'o shine too. The gal is a friend to the PDX Pirates! I can reccommend her.

While we were driving the old land yacht home North last summer from Cali, me and the Powder Monkeys were singing shanties to pass the time. We came up with some Piratical verses to the tune of “Cape Cod Girls”, Sort of a Pyrate news wire take on the oldie, if ye will. Any one else game enough to add another, or two? Old Ed Teach has lost his head Heave away, heave away He’s run aground and now he's dead (repeat chorus) Heave away, heave away Heave away, me bully, bully boys Heave away, heave away Heave A-w-a-y Why, doncha’ make a noise-- We’re bound for PORT-LAND-IA Sweet Anne Bonny has slipped the noose Heave away, heave away She had the bairn, and now she’s loose Young Mary Read , was quite the sailor Heave away, heave away She plead her belly, but it didn’t save her Good ‘ole Sam has lost the Wydah Heave away, heave away Should have left the account, while he still could’a Thomas Tew has lost his chest Heave away, heave away Now it’s on display in old Key West Old Gov. Fletcher loved Pyrates they say Heave away, heave away Too bad the Britts keel-hauled him away Cap’n Jack Sparrow has regained the Pearl Heave away, heave away He’s out lookin’ fer Bootstrap with Will and the girl Sadie the Goat butted Mag in the bar Heave away, heave away Now all that’s left is her ear in a jar

Wonderful job. Have added it to the PDX Pyrate Crew website links! Especially like the flags section! You might explain who Microprose is, for the less game savvy.

You might want to be looking into this here book... Pirate Queen: the Life of Grace O’Malley 1530-1603 By Judith Cook Tuckwell Press, 2004, £9.99 ISBN 1-86232-247-3 You can read a review of the book on Cindy Vallar's site: Thistles and Pirates website Also called Granuaile, this Irish lass, held something like 17 castles and had fleet of 20 ships/200 men.

I'm the mum of a couple 'o powder monkeys, ages 11 and 16... All of the movies mentioned are grand, but here's me review in terms of youngin's.... But remember most kids 3-11 won't want to sit still for an entire movie at a party anyway.... Here's another huge huzzah for "Muppet Treasure Island".. The adults will probably enjoy it too. " Professional Pirate" sung by Tim Curry is worth watching the movie for. In fact there is a "Sing Along Songs" edition by Disney (about 30 min) with only the songs on it. Great for short attention spans. You might try your library, Amazon or EBAY to hunt that one up! "The Wiggles" have Captain Feathersword and a song called "Pirate Dancing" for the preschool set .... "The Crimson Pirate" is loved at my house (as long as you tell them it's a corny antique, they'll appreciate it) "The Man in the Iron Mask" (new one) has pirates (and of course Musketeers) in it- Also written by Terry and Ted . Hook is a bit heavy with kidnapped kids and an actually dying teenager in it. Rufio gets run through. Princess Bride a bit slow in spots for pre-teens I can't remember anything amiss except a couple of amourous scenes in "Cutthroat Island", though there may be swearin' . I admit we like that one too. But if POTC is out (cause of the skeleton scene?) then you probably wouldn't like this one either. In my experience, kids take things happening to other kids (Goonies, Hook) worse than if it were the adults.

Aye, Swagger and Drunken Lullabye both gets me vote as beatin' the new one out ... I'm a pirate I ken vote twice. And me hopes were dashed. No FM melee up here in the NW in the immediate future. The fan e-mail tells a tale of Florida and other nasty bits. Now if Captain Bogg and Salty would just announce a gig it might make up fer it.

Maybe it will be "the Lost Abess" sorry, couldn't stop meself!

Flogging Molly headed for Cali! Well you Isle de California mates score another one. The FM are headed yer way in January on tour. Seems I remember Chico, San Jose, San Luis Opispo, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara and Fresno in thee lineup. Here's to their continued march northwards! "I'll wait for you till I turn blue There's nothin' more a man (wench) can do " -Salty Dog

AYE, AYE, HEAR, HEAR to what the most learned and well spoken Charlotte said! I'll take a Patrick O'Brien (or Ursela LeGuin) over a Harlequin anyday!

I've contacted the powers to be up Tacoma way. We'll see what they say about more ships coming our way! Just last week their website suggested that more were confirmed. One can only hope....

Aye, FM is a racous chorus of mighty music. The powdermonkeys have been a playin' "Salty Dog" aand "the Devil's Dance Floor" all the Yule Season!! Cap'n Bogg and Salty did a mean cover of DDF at the Festival Piratas last August. I challenge ya Molly Luver's to give "Peg Leg Tango" a spin. It not all be fer the kiddies. We floggin' mum's like it too. Here be the gents of Bogg and Salty doin' their stuff.
