    Your best bet is to design it yourself. Don't use an exact copy of an image. If being sued by someone is your concern, again, just design it yourself and construct the flag yourself. Many High School teams have been under fire by Colleges and Universities, even Professional Sports groups who have gone through this issue. Again, it's always best to just design it yourself. By all means, create your Colours that best represents your crew. Always keep that in mind. That's the point of a flag is the symbolism and the message they are trying to convey.

    This is both pirate and general related as I have been dealing with this long enough especially after a recent post on my pirate group's facebook page. This has also happened on non-piratical forums and sites, too. It is truly BAD etiquette and terribly narcissistic of anyone to post something on a site or a facebook page or forum that's more advertising and has nothing to do with liking or praising or inquiries of a group or crew. This is on the increase again and I think it needs to be addressed yet again. If you want to advertise on a crew's page or forum, PLEASE ASK FOR PERMISSION FIRST! I think in the Social Media behavior many have lost their manners and just haven't a mind for rules and regulations any more. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be considerate of a crew's page or forum. They want to hear from people about their crew and events, not from other groups advertising about about something. Please... BE COURTEOUS towards other Pirate Crews. PLEASE!

    Some grand lookin' pirates. Aye, I'm with Will.... it's a delight to look back on the images.

    Pity... I've been debating whether to return, too. It's a narrow spit of land to occupy, I have plenty of ideas, and keep hoping for more able bodied men, women, and youth to assist.

    thought about it...but I shall pass this year. Perhaps next year. ~Lady B

    Welcome Madame. Hahaha, never thought I'd actually be using that title beyond courtesy. Glad ye found the pub. And sounds like a wonderful grand ambition! I like the idea. Aye, tis a good thing to be never satisfied and keep researching, creating and recreating, etc. ~Lady B

    Aye, it would be worth it. But... Alas, for some, it's too far. It's keeping in mind those in the Milwaukee and Chicago area who are unable to travel more than 2 hrs to an event. For those up that direction, including myself, it's a 6 hr drive. Granted gas has come down, but not enough for some people to be able to make an event over 2 hrs away. It's a hope... that perhaps there will be another event between Chicago and Milwaukee. Until then, there's the BucCornEar Festival in September, but there is the Buccaneer Bash on that weekend in June that is in SW Michigan. The person who "owns" Port Washington Pirate Festival is hoping to "Sell" the Festival off to someone or the City. I'm staying optimistic. ~Lady B

    It's the 4th annual BucCornEar Festival in Helmsburg, Indiana put on by the Jackson Township Fire Department.

For more information, check out their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BucCornEar The BucCornEar Festival will be held September 18th & 19th, 2015... in little Helmsburg, Indiana at the firestation. A gauntlet for participants to partake in, plenty of entertainment, fun games, vendors, car show, and more! For Pirates (who they NEED DESPERATELY!)... there IS a place for a Historical Pirate Encampment! The more pirates, the better. Any takers? Don't hesitate to support the Firefighters of Jackson Township. Contact the Event Coordinators today. ~Lady B

    :: nods :: MANY did. Just like a ship, a Festival takes MANY to make it work. Someday though. Someday there will be another Pirate Fest perhaps between Milwaukee and Chicago. Maybe both places. There's a GREAT Rev War reenactment group in the area, too, that I'm certain some of it's members would be MORE than glad to partake... some of them have and have enjoyed the Pirate Fests... as did the Guild fo St Michel from Bristol. So... PLENTY of potential participants from all fronts. There just needs to be a Committee to spearhead the Fest and keep it going. Location is also key. ~Lady B

    Welcome to the Pub, good sir.. beer belly... Christian. Aye, I'll stick with Christian. Tis a good seafaring name. Quite the story ye have there. Never give up though. They have to surrender to truth, reality, & history sometime. It's better to have a person aware of the past then to walk blindly arrogant into the future. Glad ye have made your mark to enjoy life as a freebooter. Plenty of info on here. By all means, have fun with it. :) And I feel yer pain about those dressing up as an excuse to drink. Bring on the history! ~Lady B

    Will do. Though I'd LOVE to see Bilgemunky put together a pirate fest. He was on the original board that started the Port Wash pirate fest. Oh, how so much changes. Perhaps we should just start scouting and looking around? ~Lady B

    ::: Nods ::: agreed, Jim. The pencils are not unlike the ones used on the Lewis & Clark expedition. shall have to see if I can put an image on here without putting it on Photobucket. The steel pen, I can see, too. Again shall have to look for these images. I know I pinned a LOT of period items on my Pinterest board, Pirate Portrayal. Amazing to see how much incredible stuff was at that time frame of the GAoP. Great find, Jim! ~Lady B

    Pretty much, Jib. The price tag they are asking is rather outlandish. It would simply be wiser to hold a Pirate Festival elsewhere between Milwaukee and Chicago. Someday... someday. ~Lady B
  22. LadyBarbossa
    Some mighty fine Colours there, good sir. ~Lady B

    Recently found this event... Buccaneer Bash held June 6th & 7th, 2015 in Augusta, Michigan at the Olde World Village. Admission is $10, kids 12 & under are free. I understand they will have interactive historical encampments there, too, plus a private camping area. Find out more on their website:http://www.oldeworldvillage.com/buccaneer-bash/ or on their Facebook event page:https://www.facebook.com/TheBuccaneerBash ~Lady B

    At current... this event is still 'up for sale' last I saw. Honestly I would LOVE to see another pirate fest in a different location. The Marina is very limited in space. Parking in the area is difficult. But the view was SPECTACULAR! I have NO skill in developing an event otherwise I'd attempt to organize one. ~Lady B

    hmmm.... this would be an interesting topic to pick back up. I like the idea of the five strings... perhaps the ghost strings like on the hardanger fiddle, too, but to make the fiddle more like a pochette? I've begun to learn the viola... the five strings would allow you to play trble and alto clef. wicked cool! ~Lady B
