Your kidding right? Iheard Farray passed away but michael?

No... we just got word here he could not be revived and passed at the Hospital.

That is three (as it always seems to come in three's... Ed McMahon, Farrah and Michael Jackson.

(sigh) Like them or not, a sad day.

Michael Jackson has died this afternoon of a heart attack.

He was 50.

Bump...

BTW mates....

The Learning Channel is coming out to spend time with us in the Port Royal Privateer encampment on the beach Saturday afternoon. We are just South of the pier.

Hope to see as many of you as can come!

huh?

Happy Berthday Love!!

Real or imagined (You never know with Mission...) I hope your day is great

Good one.

You are so busted HL!

At the moment...

I'm using this one. (Poor Phoebe, never humiliated and always agreeable!)

The "energy" in "pirate energy drink" comes from boatloads of caffeine and guarana. There are 10 mg of caffeine per ounce which is about 30-40% less than what you get in a standard cup of coffee. It's still quite a bit if you are sensitive to it however.

Well..none fer me than.

Good luck with it though!

Hmmm.....does it have no caffeine like Root Beer?

Might be able to try it then (Caffeine makes me *thump-thump* all jittery don’t ya know…)

No truer words could be said.

My group is still out of luck for the Queen Mary Event because it conflicts with Ojai. Regardless, I hope ye all have a grand time!

Aye... I will be at Ojai as well...

And I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has helped me out so far. You guys are awesome!

(chuckle) We are... aren't we?

Wow... that is stunning!

Post more when it is done....

Well done you!!

Welcome to Port mate...

Pictures.... post pictures of yer ship. (Sine so many here canna read they really LOVE the pictures!)

Tie up and stay awhile....

Where you live...It's why the Gods invented Bath Tubs....

Welcome aboard mate.

LOVE the ships name! used to keep them back when I was just a Wee one!

First round is indeed on you and I'll be after having a Mai Tai!

Ummmmm...

I think these be the ones Skip uses (Bless his heart!)

Chords fer the verse's... Am, Em, B, G, D

And chords fer the chorus'... C, G, D, G, Em, Am, B

We LOVE doing this song!

Ooohh.... we are going to have a FINE time this year!

A sizable Pirate encampment on the South side of the Pier right on the sands...period tents galore. Lots of Music, fun for the kids, balloon swords, knot tying, games of Liars dice and lots more skullduggery as well.

here we were last year...

If you find yer self in Port, stop by and see us on the beach under all that canvas and look for the Pirate Bands playing on the Pier itself during the day. (I, m'self, will be in amongst a couple of them playing me little heart out)

Aye Greydog, a good time fer all!

May the day be great!

WHaw!!!!!

I live too far away to play!

You all look TERRIFIC!!

Looks like aside from a few blunders that had nothing to do with you folks, everything went well!

I have to ask this.... I mean, after the sword fight debackle...

Where you drunk or sober when this happened?

One thing I found problematic....

We were not allowed to put Minimum Opening Bids for the items in the silent auction.

I had brought signed items from Ted and Terry, plus some crew gifts that had gone to only actors in the films at completion and they went, I am guessing, for next to nothing. They could have brought in a great deal on eBay.

Some things could be adjusted to bring in more cash perhaps.....

Some complaints are true...

No matter how hard you work (And Evan worked his keel off) it all comes down to Charity events, you are depending on the word of others and when they don’t keep to their word there is little you can do.

Several Vendors just never showed up... That has no reflection on how hard an effort was made to make it a good event.

And all the pirate/Pirate Music was much earlier in the day. They only had the more Rock based stuff for evening and one band was non-cooperation incarnate. They wanted to swear and be foul mouthed as was their custom, forgetting this was a Kids event (which they had agreed too before hand) so there you have keeping to yer word again.

We had plenty of Jacks though!

Still… the daylight hours saw allot of fun!

The Pirates of the Black Swan (with Herself on the Bodhran)

More Jacks then made any sense.....

And several Actors from POTC that came and went throughtout the day.... here is one group

Still, the day raised allot of cash for the Hospital (I'll post the final tally when or if I see it) So... all was not for a loss.

"Ah, but you have heard of me."

Read it for yer selves...

Hey - she's got another of the navy stripe ones - this is the same kind that I got (if I get it in time, I'll wear it Sunday at NorCal):

Navy pinstripe corset

Oh that's one of her cincher corsets.

Very nice!
