**slapping forehead**
Ye bloody horse marine... RAPE first! Then the women are happy and don't care what ye take....
There we go! That's what I was looking for.

yes sir'ree...that's our motto:
After reading Captain Sterling's post, I was a little concerned about what might follow the above statement.

This year during one of the battles there was an issue with spectators just not wanting to keep a safe distance from the battle action on top of the fort. Folks were arguing with or just plain ignoring requests to move back. Not just mine, which is entirely fathomable , but Haunting Lily's and Captain Jim's as well. What are thoughts on some kind of barrier, something as simple as tape or rope that can quickly be put up and removed, and gives the viewers a clear idea of where the 'safe zone' is?
I know we don't want to police folks or detract from the atmosphere of the battles, but I don't think a lot of the festival-goers realize the real danger involved. There were parents sitting their kids up on the fort wall within feet of the black powder firings, despite numerous requests to keep back. I'd hate to see a child get hurt because their parents can't act like adults.

My word, ye really can see the quartermaster in her...
Aye...I carry her for nine months...have contractions for the last two...spend 2 1/2 days in labor...after four grueling hours of pushing, give birth to her nearly 9lb self...have to have hernia surgery as a result...spend the rest of my life with mesh in my belly...and after all that, she doesn't have the grace to take after me. Oh well, she's sweet and healthy. I'll take what I can get!

The wee one wishes you all a Merry Christmas!

If everyone lets me know what they are going to show and a little info I would be happy to come up with a tour guide script
If we only do two a day I would say Hurricane and I can take those on and bring the crowds over....
Mae and I plan to have our candle-making extravaganza up and running within a month or so, so that's definitely something we'd be glad to do at PiP next year!
-
Though, not a costume for a con or anything. I am in a Show right now
Christmas Carol, which kept me from PiP this year
And here are the pics of me. I play the Ghost of Christmas Present
Young Ghost
Full Ghost
Dying Ghost
Sorry for the bad contrast and all. This was taken from my iPhone in the dressing room.
And I will be shaving the beard this sunday
You look great!! Almost exactly like I pictured that ghost.

That's just unreasonably creepy....
I thought creepy was sort of our thing??
And I'm not sure what you're referring to- MD losing hair or Jack growing more? Either way...I dare anyone to find a better lookin' crew!
-
Wow, those are amazing! Thank you for sharing.

This was the first time I've actually gotten to see ths since I've been with the crew. It was breathtaking.
So many different emotions were called out for me. Never have I felt so much in character as while I experienced them all with Brig- the defiance called out by Maddoge's speech, the affinity with the BIB as they offered the 'Angels a place to go, the call to return to pyracy singing in my blood, then the awful, twisting shame when I saw our poor Cappy being dragged to his doom and the sickening sorrow as I watched him swing.
I remember the humming from the crowd that Diosa mentioned. It was a dirge...the only words I can recall are pray for the dead and the dead will pray for you.
That was more than just a performance. I have no doubt that everyone present was affected in some way. Major kudos to Captain Sterling, Maddogge, Spike and the Buccaneers, Lilly, Mark, Edward, and everyone else involved.
Oh, and kudos to Cousin Robbie for...well, for being Cousin Robbie. :angry:

oi...i know....let's tell the QM...ya left em in MY tent...!?!?!?
Capital idea! Since you're disguised now and all.
-
Found:
One lady's chemise and no tis not the Mistress's (worth $50)
One small sewing kit (worth $15.00)
Still Missing: Robbie (worth: Priceless) **heh, heh, heh**
Haha, does the chemise have green ribbons in the sleeves and hand stitching on the neckline and cuffs?
Aye that it does... I collect more items from the quartermaster's family than anyone else... hmmm are we sure we want him to be the quartermaster? Let's see, cravat from Mr. Abbington, Neckerchief from JiJi, OH Mae's poster, and now Brig's underpinnings...all in my tent...
Captain, let's not tell the QM that I left my underthings in your tent.
And come to think of it, the sewing kit may be mine as well. Small canvas bag, hemp drawstring, kinda dingy? The Roberts clan will have to start paying storage fees if we keep leaving you souvenirs.

Lilly jumps up from the beach..."Looks Girls...It's A MAN!"
With that, Mae and Brig fall all over the 'Top Dogge' of the Crewe of the Archangel.
Poor Dogge! That's gonna leave a mark!!
-
And a few more.

I didn't take very many pictures, but here are a few of my favorites :)
-
Notice the heels on Mae's boots?? That's why she got the job of cutting- she's the only one of us that could reach! Well, that and I was nearly blind without my glasses. I probably would have cut off Mae's hair by accident.
That was fun, thanks Patrick!

FEELING LIKE AN INTRUDER
I commend all of you on the joy and love of the time you spent there. I will be moving heaven and earth to make sure that I can fill each of your cups next year (or hopefully at some point in the interim).
***keeping his jealousy well hidden***
We'll save you a seat at the pub, Captain Mickey! Looking forward to meeting you.

You made wonderful serving wenches on Saturday! It was wonderful having the guests attended too so well. I know each enjoyed it also. Next year we will be making changes and although you ladies may have your own trade to deal with during the day I do hope that you will be wiling to assist on the evening the Arch Angel Crew feeds the masses.
I enjoyed every minute of it!! Thank you for letting us take a turn. And definitely, sign me up for the next time.
Barriers?

I'm sure something like that would go a long way, Bo. But from what I saw, a lot of the trouble was with folks who came after the battle had already started and didn't realize that there were boundary lines. Most immediately apologized and moved back when asked to do so, but some were unhappy about being asked to move because they weren't given minute instructions on where the line was.
