If'n any o'ye want to talk to the crazy lady....just kidding...PM me and I'll give you my number.

Can't guarantee I'll be able to get to the phone as I might be outside in the garden or doing something like ....oh gosh housework....

Funny you should mention that Mission, I just saw a bumper sticker yesterday on a gal's car with, "Save the ta-tas".....what's the matter with saying boobs?

In a weird funny way it's like I was reading about yesteryear's pirates.

Hmmmm.....I mean I understand the situation, but at the same time you have to wonder if this was something that just made the news for happening now, or was it something the Lady Washington had known for a few years?

Makes you kind of wonder.....

Here's a picture of me and my vessel.

Our group Pirates of Treasure Cove was originally part of a group called Biggins. Sadly Biggins has backwards thinking and because they want people to join first and pay before finding out what the group was all about (putting the cart before the horse) was just one of the reasons why we split from them.

They are also so paranoid that someone might actually sue them that they regulate everything they do.....mind you they only set up a few games at events that can't hurt anyone!

Lets face it, if someone decides to sue for whatever reason, they can regardless of so-called rules...which by the way only cover the participants, not the guests.

We looked into the possibility of joining another group because they had insurance, but again because we would have to be under their rules and guidelines, things we do, we couldn't. So with that we decided not to get insurance for the following reasons:

1. The cost is extrodinary....we're talking several thousand dollars a year.

2. You have to come up with specific guidelines/rules in order to have it.

3. Since all we do is put out books and hand out scrolls to people with book lists, and read stories to kids, we felt we didn't really need it.

4. Insurance only covers loss, theft, or injury to participants, not the general public which are more likely to get hurt. The majority of us know when we join a particular type of group that does the Ren-faires, pirate events and so on, we are responsible for our own well being and getting hurt might happen. Unless a participant is deliberatly responsible for hurting someone else, then that goes under a whole different situation....like getting kicked out. (Which btw should have happened in PRP when a particular person tried to hurt another by having a lackey put a spider in her purse)

Besides, here on the west coast, all Directors of events must have insurance and it also covers the participants and vendors.

Honestly, unless you are handling black powder/guns/swords or other things used for fighting you don't need it.

I know the SCA has insurance, but if you have ever watched those guys beat the crap out of each other with heavy weapons you know why they have insurance.

Now that's PRICELESS!

I sent a copy to Boats to use when he retires from the County of San Diego in a couple of years.

Well it's cute....but as for the droopy fabric for wings....I don't think that quite works....it looks like someone ripped off the wings......oooh was that me? Heheeeee, I'll never tell.....

Here's to your 41 lashes.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Now we can give him his wooden shoes..........

Boats and I are heading up there tomorrow morning, should get there around 1 or 2 PM depending on the traffic.

Ok, you could put my name on it instead of yours......

Welcome to the Pub!

Hmmmmmm.....mouse on my chest....now that's an interesting thought........

Aye another soul has returned to the Pub! Paisley the Pink Pirate as you called yourself then, haven't forgotten you.

Welcome back to the Pub in its' new incarnation and share a mug!

The most AWESOME weekend ever!!!!!

I've been to a lot of conventions and I'll put this one on the list of the top three I've enjoyed the most!

It was extremely well run, everything on time, no major hitches, great people and some pretty outrageous outfits.

The party in the Observation Bar on Friday night was fantastic and the dinner on Saturday night was absolutely delicious and that chocolate mousse whatever it was kind of cake was just to die for....I got two pieces because Boats can't have chocolate.

Do I plan to do it again, YOU BET!!!!!!

I can't say enough thank you's to Mitch Toles for putting on the best pirate convention one could ever go to! Pictures coming soon!!!

HUZZAH!!!!!

Hoping to see some of you Pub people at this event! Looks like it's going to be a great time!

I have a whole new line of gorgeous jewelry fit for a Queen, new array of feather hat pins, and many more incredible goodies!

My space is right next to No Quarter Given's spot. See you there!!!
