Mary Diamond

Well done! Thank you ~

Morgan ~

Congratulations and good luck on your undertaking! Might I recommend, with regards to you $4 linen, that you wash it first? I have purchased the $4 linen (a more open weave natural linen) from JoAnn's in the flat fold/clearance section ~ it shrank considerably, but, goodness, it is soft!

Oi, and ye'd all be seeing a LOT more of Rats! than ye thought ye would, if he tries to carry his flintlock in his tu-tu!

OOPS! Rats, um, dear, QUICK! Your tutu is losing altitude ~

OH! I almost forgot to post ~ we THREE are DEFINITELY attending, Mark, Yak and I! Tickets are purchased - WOOHOO!

Thursday, Nov 29

Arrive Miami 12:35pm

Driving from Miami to Key West

Returning Wednesday, Dec 5 ~ plenty of time to recover, and hopefully visit the Dry Tortugas!

BRING THEM!

The more the merrier ~

Yak, Yak-Beast, several other names which I shall not print here ~

A college friend of my Hubby, who is also my friend ~ quite excited about his initial foray into Pyrates ~

Bumpa Bumpa Bumpa BUMP

Well, Patrick, it seems my hubby and Yak will be in good company at PiP! Hubby is 6'3", and Yak is well over 6' ~

The Tall Pirates Club is GROWING

(yeah, I know, just ignore me ~ )

Goodness, every time I see Patrick, I think, My, his friends are awful short ~

I guess I'll be able to put that in more accurate perspective when I have met him Officially this year at PiP!

OH! I am so disappointed! Please, do let me know if you find another outlet ~

Thanks for working on this! I am still interested ~

WELL DONE! and Very Impressive, Patrick! I love seeing what you are up to ~

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh ~

A fantastic, sensual, dark movie. Agreed, to be considered with Pan's Labyrinth, or on another level, The Fountain. Not a movie for everyone, but exquisitely well done.

mmmmmm ~

Thank you, Rats, for this treasure.

As I understand it, all re-enactors staying at the Fort must complete and SNAIL MAIL this form:

http://www.forttaylor.org/pipreg2007.pdf

Each person requires their own form (including children). Gets you covered by the Fort in case anything happens, as well as provides Harry your particulars.

This may apply to all participants, I am not sure ~ Harry or William ( sounds like a call in the Royal household), care to weigh in?

We are waiting on Yak to confirm ~ he will most likely be leaving O'Hare Thursday 29 direct to KW, returning Sunday ~

Mark and I (flying from O'Hare) ~ will be at the Fort Thursday through Sunday/Monday, with a few days on either side for relaxing/mini vacation.

LIKE THE SEA!!!!!!!!!!

I seem to remember having a video sent to me with music and such... Includes a sea battle???

Anyone have that handy??

Here you go!

So, I know this has been tentatively broached elsewhere, but wanted to bring it front and center ~

How many folks are flying into Miami with plans on driving or bus'ing down to KW? Any interest in sharing the trip with others?

If so, please include flight arrival and departure times, so we might better HOOK up ~ (oh, that was silly )

Thanks all!

Fantastic! I am looking forward to picking up a few forge items ~

Diamond and Stitch, Guardians of the Garden and my furry children ~ and, according to my hubby, my familiars ~

Indeed, I simply wanted to bring it front and center for a good count.

Seems like a good time to bring this up ~

Harry or William,

For those of us further removed ~ Is it possible to arrange for Black Powder to be available at PiP, due to the legal constraints associated with shipping bp?

Would a show of hands from those in need be helpful?

(Raising one, then my other, hand)

What? I have 2 guns ~

PLAY WITH ME!

Lilly giggling....

Come now Mary! Put that thing down before you scare the men...AGAIN!

Aww, do I have to?

in fact we have used several scenarios where the invaders to camp were repeled by...well what ever was handy....iron poker...an axe....cast iron pot firewood...etc.....same goes for this....a walking stick was carried in many a period portraits....but carried at the ready...not used for walking...especially in port were many local lawws prohibited carriying of weapons......

Precisely! THIS GOES FOR YOU WALL-FLOWER LADIES, TOO! Grab a Frying Pan and jump right in ~

A Goode First Effort for someone new to costuming!

Attending a few details can bring you closer to PC, or "as is" for a more casual pirate impression ~ it really depends on what you are more comfortable with. I like the fabrics chosen ~ quite attractive colors! And don't be sorry about the fabric content ~ everyone has to start somewhere ~ I know I did!

Well done!

PLAY WITH ME!

Just ask my mates how I feel about practicing!
