I was there, me an me beau got there I am guessing around 6 and it was still hot. I think I saw a bunch of you there, I think at the table in the back of the restaurant. We were kinda stumbing around the place not being familiar with the grounds and such. We enjoyed the Pillage people at the stage and then later the cannon fire was wonderful to hear and see. Perhaps again next year with a bigger group of comrades. Whew was it hot even at 9!

well we'll be getting there just about at 4:00 to meet the pyracy.com folk and then stay for the eve...should be cooler when the sun goes down around 7:45 to 8:00.

Capt. Mac., I dug around in me drawers were I store antique silk scarves and boiled it down to one for me beau to wear to the fair this weekend. It is mostly white with a tiny black paisley design with faint pink and lt. blue, and show's it's age. It has a soft color and texture to it and even a bit of a teensy few holes in the ends, just to make it look ragged enough for a seadawg to be sportin. If you don't want that new bandana look check second hand or antique shops and peruse the silk scarves you may find one that has a more period or aged feel to it.

Okay still meeting up at the PRP encamp. at 4:00 on Sat? (just making sure it didn't get changed...lmao...! ) I have one more question to the folk who have been at this fairground before. I know most fairegrounds are dirty and dusty and little pebbles and such, will this be like the rest, or can we wear our finery?

...thanks guys with all those tips I have a better feeling on how to make the :) knot look the best!

...so here's my concern when I was tying me beau's silk scarf on his head, after taking the two diagonal edges and tying the knot, what do you do with the center point material, do you make sure it is tied into the knot over it and around it...this is what I am not sure about...the third end of material.....can ye fella's help me out here.... thanks to all that have responded so far....

Bess, will there be a sign there that we can find ya's all? Like PRP or sumthin?

Yes Petee, but where are we all meeting?

Okay, the place keeps changing and I am not a member of PRP (what is that by the way?) and would still like to meet everyone, can we make it the original spot at the ale stand or the restaurant to make it easy on the rest of us, or are we excluded? just joshing...

Hi any tips out there for making a perfect tie or knot on tying up a headscarf or bandana?

Okay so the new rendeavouz point is the Restaurant (dinner house)? at the stroke o Four?

Ale stand # 4 at 4:00 right, that's when we are all meeting still? Also does anyone have a tip on tying up a head bandana for a fella? What makes for a nice knot?

WOW ,,,,Diego, went to you your webshots page and loved all of the pics you have collected there..THANKS!!!!

he he he...I second that Pearl

No cleavage, did it really say that? I will have to go back and re-read...I remember something snitty about not having your b's showing above yer bodices'...he he he.....heck I try to make my cleavage shown everyday...be damned..I am a woman after all.... floatation devices...cracking up at Killian... 4:00 sounds good hope we will make it there by that time...want to meet all of ye good scalligwags!!!! Me beau and I will be sportin some Pyracy.com badges (they will have the skull and crossbones on it against a white background and pyracy.com below) Hopefully Petee will have that picket sign erected so we's can finds you all pretty easy like.....savvy? floatation devices....still chuckling..... How many days Petee? lol! oh and drums...yeah a nice good old fashioned faire ring-out with mad insane tribal beat dancing sounds really good!!!!!!!

I know of troupes but don't know them personally. Probablly too late for any troupes to be added to the lineup anywho.....I will wear one of my coined hipsashes anyways.....

I know one of the members here Dutchess is a tribal belly dancer and she at one time had a post about belly dancing pyrates..I loved it..as to I started Belly Dancing classes last summer and love it, so I always want to see the pro's dance. I hope they do, cause I think it would fit in well even though they say in the costume guidelines no middle eastern...geeez....pirates collected anyone I believe who wanted to join their cause....of pyracy...lmao. Is there any schedule of performances they are going to publish like ren faire does?

Okay another question, does anybody know if there will be any belly dancers there or tribal belly dance? Would definetly want to be there on time for that show if there are to be any belly dancers. p.s. Petee love yer countdown

Thanks for the info Pete, yes a bit o tail gating sure sounds practical now!!! wink wink :)

....okay I keep hearing about this restaurant that is at this faireground, what kind of faire do they offer, me man is wondering if they be serving steaks etc there? ......how much are ales and bev's? ...I know too many questions. Oh and I have to make us some pyracy.com pins to be spotted by you's all....

Thanks Pirate Petee, my g/f at work showed me some on a website where she bought her short leather bodice at, all the men's shirts are 32.00 and have large sizes as well.... check it out...great leather items http://www.ravenswoodleather.com/

Well, I am surely planning on going, but only if me beau goes cause he lives out in Ana. Hills. Trying to find him a pyrate shirt for this event due to he's only been exposed to pyrating from meself recently ... he he he....anyone have any suggestions on a website that has a great deal on a black cotton lace up shirt? Still pondering upon what I am wearing due to the heat and also want to spend the eve hours there.....

Thanks Diego for the directions...I really hope to make it...I as well am wondering how hot it will be. I don't think I will be donning my velvet frock coat..eh! So how many pyracy.com people are going? T'would be nice to all meet up and meet face to face or tankard to tankard so to speak.

...since never been to this gathering of pyratey folk, ..what's the best way to get there from the LAX area?

Christine, they have it in various places before but the last two years here in Los Angeles in Hollywood. Killian, yes there were quite a few pyrates there in fantastic fancy frock coats, boots and hats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They looked 'mavverlous'..lol Definetly will attend again next year in even a better costume!!!
