Greetings and well met.... It is happening....a dream that started many years ago and now has come to the light...Four Kingdoms Ren Festival in Milan, IL on Colombus day weekend(Oct. 7,8,9) is happening.... This is the child of two men..one a Lord in the Adrian empire and one a lowly Pyrate(hehe..thats me!). At the moment we have Jousters..The New Riders of the Golden Age full contact jousting, Human powered rides for the kiddies...storytellers, magicians, music tentativly set for Seelie Court, Three Pints gone, The Thryce Wycked Wenches(my girls...hehe) and others(none are contracted yet but expect to be soon)...there will be a shanty singing contest...several craftsmen...a glass blower, a blacksmith and hopefully others... This is a first year faire...but has allready gathered alot of notice...there is a website..but has no information on it yet...when it is up I will let all know.... If you have any questions please fell free to pm or e-mail me and I will do my best to answer them... Huzzah and arghhhhhh darkRose aka Roguespierre

Good day...good morrow.... arrrgh... and all those other good things This is not exactly the place to announce this but perhaps it is....Thr Four Kingdoms Ren Faire is going to happen....it is a landlocked venue(except for the lakes) in Milan , IL. and happening on the 7,8,9 of October of this year. The reason the post comes to this area(besides meself being a moderator) is that there is a contest...one for all ye pyrates that feel good about themselves that is...we will have a Shanty singing contest! There will be real prizes and good stuff....if you are of the singing nature come to our faire and show us what you can do! To find out more about our faire email me roguespierre@juno.com and I will let you know what the heck is going on!!!!!!!!! Roguespierre aka Darkrose

Yawwwwnnnnnnn....Scratch...burp......How long have I been asleep???? Roguespierre

Cap'n.... Those of us from the ren faire circut see it all the time....peace tie....makes no matter incidents or not...as a year ago one evening I was sittin on a stool in a certain other Cap'ns place wonderin if its kewl fer all them drunks to be swinging their long pointy things.... darkRose

Alas me friend...The Yankee Clipper is no more....she now be a parkin lot...but ye might find a wee bit more in that area now...tis where they have the festivals we be talkin bout....Downtown RI.. But ahhhhhhhh, the Yankee Clipper....how many times have we heard..."All right...hands on the wall" dR

You are obivously correct about the sail training on the river...even the areas that would have room for teaching have wing dams and the channel is the only part dredged....though the Corps of Engineer maps are updated and well kept due to the commercial traffic on the river. And there are small sailing clubs up and down the river that might be interested in your voyage. (Davenport Sailing club has an area of the river called Lake davenport....these are all shallow draft but the river is over a mile wide at this point above Lock and Dam 15 I believe) There are a couple of considerations as to being the Attraction....First is that my experience the towns along the river always support the attraction boats(Delta Queen, River Queen etc) and all these towns constantly have celebrations going on...if dates were right you could probably tie into enough of these to make your trip worthwhile...ie. the Quad Cities has some sort of weekend festival running from May to Oct. from Jamaca My Weekend to the Blues Fest to The Bix(Biederbeck) Jazz festival....and all the smaller towns have things going on constantly...this is not an push to do it...just a couple thoughts to consider....Again if you would like any information drop a line and I will do what I can to get info to you.... darkRose roguespierre@juno.com

Good Sir.... Having lived on that river for most of my life you will find it an enjoyable sail....there is amazing intrest in most of our river traffic and any "boat" that stops in the Quad Cities ( Davenport, Moline, Bettendorf, Davenport) gets MUCH attention...The river valley is beauty and people are good....many ports to call on on the way up river...If you decide to do this...a pirate invasion in the Quad Cities WILL BE HAD...as within the Iowa-Ill. corridor there is a crewe that can't be beat....Mercy, Barbosa, darkRose, Cap'r. Morgan and a whole lot more.... I don't be sure what all you need to know but pm...or e-mail me and I will answer what I can bout our area of the Big Muddy... darkRose, roguespierre@juno.com I think with the number of ports to call on...there would be more than enough to make the trip worthwhile... dR

Can't wait fer him to get here...have all sorts of little friends to play with.... darkRose

Well my dear....all I said was Blue Sky ...Sunshine What a day for takin a walk in the park... but we shall have that bad weather soon...probably down in the 50's darkRose

I agree Hawkins.... I make baldrics and have tried several things .....but in the end...wearing them seems to be the best way...and besides when people come to visit you always have a conversation starter.... darkRose

A special place, a special pub and special people....I am sure the Piper would love to have us for at least one night...heck...I might even come out of the hills for that :) darkRose

The pictures are great....It is good to see me mates havin a great time at the most perfect place in the world... I miss a couple of faces in there though...mine own included....:) Keep em commin.... darkRose

Just about perfect Hawkins, there is even a lass I know that be meetin just about all that...cept she needs another tat.... Junoesque...Rubenesque...a must and though I am not too concerned about heigth...it is a great feeling to walk along the street and your hips fit into one another just perfectly...and for me about 5'6 does the trick..... And loooooooong silky red hair....ummmmmmm and yeah...very deffinitly she is out there... darkRose

The first be something that not many see but the softness of the skin and no blemishes there be the curve of her throat and the tilt of her head will tell me exactly what lies ahead

No reason to be sorry.....I did the same thing and as i read my posts found them to be very similar...but I guess thats what we're here for!! darkRose
