I've pretty much "soft" sworn off pirate re-enacting these days. I am DEFINITELY not of a "never again" mindset, but pretty strongly disinclined under most circumstances. But I do miss some of the people. Also, I do mostly still reenact the late 17th/early 18th century timeframe, so feel there is still information to be gleamed/shared from that perspective.
Leaving for Seattle area in a couple of hours.... If anyone I know out that way is not busy Wednesday or Thursday evening, let me know and we can meet for drinks or something.
