Capt. Sterling

You got it Fayma. I will keep you posted.

There will be three main acts, for lack of a better term, that will be carried out daily including one good battle with the fort. We are leading up to these in the other thread. Currently we are sketching out background plot lines so that everyone has some sort of history to fall back on when conversing in front of spectators at the event. Think of it as a semi immersion type weekend... and please treat any spectators as if they are ordinary civilians from the time period not as if they are strange alien creatures from another time frame... If you need to break out of character to answer questions please feel free to do so, but otherwise treat them like they are one of us. Do you have to take on a major/speaking role in all or any of the scenarios? No of course not, if you wish to just be color for a scenario please feel free to do so. Do you have to post to the background/storyline? No of course not, but if you would like to and/or you believe it may help the over all events, please feel free to do so. Are all these things set in stone? No of course not... they are posted here to discuss, brain storm ideas and hopefully grow a fun and significant event for our hosts and the spectators..As well as for ourselves..

Actually there was modern camping available right on the grounds of the event...but most of that was tents that I recall. I think they could accommodate the RV, but you might not get all the amenities that would go with an actual campgrounds such as certain hook ups.. You might want to pm Harry or Hurricane about the specifics.

A cherry?

I HEARD that!!!

Due to lack of interest in such a scenario, this thread is no longer in operation.

Haven't got a clue.... Seriously though, read through a number of the threads here and they will help you out a lot...there is modern camping on site, but would need to check out the RV situation if you were in need of electrical hook up or water... There are tons of things to do both at the festival every day and in town... plenty for the kids to do especially if they like the pirates as much as you do. Over all, I would plan to make it down, I don't think you would be sorry...

More for me and Red Cat then... **glances over at William and his bucket** Lightweight...

At least she didn't say leering

Heh, heh, heh...

Many happy returns of the day!! Hope tis grand.

Lurking indeed! Like I lurk...

Oh ye have watched me partake plenty of times.. ye used to buy me the stuff to keep me quiet... I mean happy...

Shirt sleeves... even a bit warm for a waistcoat.... *WICKED GRIN*

Thank ye Jenny Darlin... **nestles comfortably in pillow upon table top** William, we must be getting old... others get this way from too much boozing and wenching... we get this way just from conversing all night....

Oh...the links Mike posted do have a larger image of the coat... thanks!! and fwiw...of all the pc fashion plates of the time that I have copies of... this is the only one showing buttons on the left instead of buttonholes..

Can't say that it was a set rule as of yet, but all these originals and the patterns in Waugh's Cut of Men's Clothes are all left over right.... Sorry I can't get the Gunnister coat any larger The very last black and white could very well be the same blue and red coat all the way to the right in the picture of four coats...

**rubbing aching jaw** How is your ear by the way?

**Sterling staggers into the Kate...(although he never actually seems to ever leave) grabs a chair at the closet table, sits and allows his head to bang down upon the table top** I feel terrible...
