August 20th at 4pm the brethren o the space coast will be meeting at cocoa village for a fundraiser for cancer research, we have been invited to go on board the "Indian River Queen" to help raise money for breast cancer research this even should last about four hours if anyone would like to join us for an evening of pillaging and mayhem give me a shout and i will set you up.

i gotcha, i was thinking they were the same day, we already got a hotel so..., i'm going to try and modify my scout trooper armor for a star wars/ pirate thing lol, figured why not.

we're heading over friday night after work so we can be around all day for the affairs, but i'm looking forward to the night parade

anybody going?, my buddy and i are looking at going, was just wondering if anybody else was.

while at work this evening i started thinking about old style pocket books and wallets then the thought occurred to me, where did 18th century mariners keep their money?... was it in a pouch tied to their belt, or was it a cloth wallet of some sort, i tried looking for information but came up empty handed, what do yall think or know about this?

it's the weekend of my company christmas party and i have to do that whole dog& pony show, so im out.

well... that is quite a haul, i will have to see what my finances are like for getting a hotel room and see if the ole' lady wants to make a weekend of it lol

i would love to but it's just too far of a drive for me right now.

thanks,. the slops are ones i made from a kass pattern and the shirt i got from jas townsend along with the shoes untill i can get better ones, ive been on the lookout for something that would make a good cudgel about the length of a cane, more than likely i'm going to order another shirt like this one cause it is sooo damn comfy.

thanks for fixing the links, im not planning on participating in any events unless i can talk someone into letting on a float for the parade or just walk next to one, and the bash saturday night i just plan on hanging out and having a good time, the one piece of information i cant seem to find is wether or not i need a scabbard for my cutlass, im probly going to pick up a boarding ax from tiger lee so that'll suffice.

i keep forgetting how to get the images to come up without clicking on the links

what do yall think?... this is what i'll be wearing around st. augustine for the gathering

im gonna hit up Ft Charolette as well.

if i didnt have two papers to write and a ton of math homework i would so be there.

when i get home from class im going to open the front up a little bit

the tricorn i started out with was the basic brown one from Jas Towsend&son i liked it and wore it for a long time but i just felt like something was missing [/img] started out as this and when i was done we have this [/img][/img] [/img] [/img]

shot them an email so we'll see... what would be ideal for me is to find and area to park my truck and camp out of the back of it since i have a camper shell.

when i was there last year a few of us went to the museum and the caves (i loved the little tiki bar right outside) and i found an awesome Greek restaurant right on the main drag... im hoping to get pictures of me in my gard on the beach like a washed up shipwreck like someone did on here lol

hmm... that is interesting

I thought i read somewhere on here of a review from 2010 saying there was camping but i could have been mistaken.

I couldnt find any information as far as camping is concerned... Is it a period correct camping or pitch a tent camping... I know there are hotels nearby but if i can save the money i will.

is anybody planning on going this year?, some friends of mine from school and i are planning on going though i dont know how i feel about going to the bash since i dont really have any "formal" pirate garb so i'll probably be drinking at the tavern instead.

not sure if this goes here or in the armory but while i was sitting at my bench at work thinking about pirate things; a random thought came to mind.

we know that the Kentucky Longrifle dates back to around 1730 and is a bastardization of sorts of the Pennsylvania rifle brought over from the Germans which is an adaptation of the Jager rifle used for hunting in Germany, so my question is... is it possible that a few of these Jager rifles could have made their way into the hands of privateers and or pirates during early 18th century and on? in my mind i can see the possibility being that it could have been raided from a vessel or if a sailor was from that part of the world making it's way on board some vessels.

i will be going to the Bahamas for my Company cruise next month and will be heading up the Pirate Museum in full garb on the 22nd, SO... if anybody will be in the area i would be more than happy to oblige you with a beer at a fantastic Greek cafe i found while there last year, i will also be doing some scuba diving at cocoa cay.

this does bring up a very interesting thought as i have an ferocious appetite for nautical history and even mountain man wilderness survival, though i do not necessarily believe in past lives persay it is thought pervoking non the less.
