Hi all, I need to move this topic to Sea Shanties, it's better served there. Rumba

I'll miss seeing you. Have a good time. Will make it to the Pirate fest in Sept. Hey if you get a chance, stop by PRP and say hi to Boats. Rumba Rue

I finally managed to look through all the pictures in the gallery under general pirate photos. What a surprise to find a picture of Bloody Buckets! I had no idea who or what this guy looked like and occassionally correspond with. I think the picture is from PIP, but if I'm wrong, someone correct me. So here's a picture of our Pub Administrator for all to see without going through the whole gallery. Bloody Buckets **Hey, Bloody, you can play with my squeezebox anytime!** Rumba Rue ** **

Best I can suggest is Dixie gun works. My friend built a nice gun from one of their kits, and it works too. Rumba Rue ** **

Like Royalist said, hope ye gots a few million(s) to throw away, and that ain't including the boat dock fees either. Rumba Rue ** **

Fergal, don't panic. Lots of people try to sell stuff here, and some don't get any answers at all. It really depends on what a person needs. I don't need a leather bottle myself right now, and other things I either make myself, or know people here locally that can do it for me. Please don't be offended. I think your leather bottles are really cool and someday in the future I may contact you about getting one. But my finances are extremely low right now, and I can barely afford myself!

Very strange indeed. Rumba Rue ** :) **

Those pins that Royalist showed ye to are jest fine, and are used in full sized ships. Infact I have one that looks jest like the one with the lines 'round the neck in lightweight wood. There's a fantastic guy at Tall Ships in Dana Pt. in Sept., that makes them and I bought one from him years ago. I chose a lightweight one cuz it's less weight around me waist. Rumba Rue ** **

Don't get me wrong, my friends and I had a good time and enjoyed the day. Like I said, for such a short notice of things, it's amazing that anything was done at all. Here's a link to some of the pictures that my camera took: S. Faire Rumba Rue ** **

Ok, here's my report on S. Faire. The only Security our small group saw the whole time was OUTSIDE the faire, not inside. People were walking around partaking in their favorite drink, flasks also, especially since there is a booth selling flasks. What I liked: Nice trees, shade for most areas, the Santa Fe Dam made for a nice backdrop. Was really impressed for the vendors who had virtually little time to get a booth put together, to make the faire look good. The Friends of Faire area was extremely spacious and looked comfortable, a few new food booths that I hadn't seen before at that faire (who would have thought to put frozen chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick? Amazing). There were lots of people, and plenty in pirate costume. The funny thing was, there were no people of the faire engaging guests with fun, but the pirates sure were. I saw a few even entertaining the guests with their antics. In fact I was asked to have my picture taken several times, along with my co-hort, Boats. Hmmm, the only thing that I was wearing that gave away my pirate persona was my hat. The rest, including my sunglasses were just not what I usually wear. What I didn't like: The lack of vendors. There were less than 160 various vendors, games, and food. In the past this was the place that overflowed with vendors- well into the 300 range. The items for sale at all booths seemed to be somewhat lacking - I was told many were cleaned out the first weekend, leaving not much left. That's not good business, as it's clear the vendors didn't have much stock to begin with. The food court area, while wonderfully large, had only a few hay bales around the few trees in the area. No shade provided overhead for people to eat comfortably on the grass if they had wanted to. I found out from Michael Foster, the head of the Military groups (I've known Michael for many years), told me the real problem was there was no camping allowed for anyone. So everyone, including vendors had to drive home every night, and then come back the next day. Some of these people live really far away! Because of this problem, many vendors opted not to do the faire, and Michael told me they lost over half their personal for the Military groups because of this problem. According to Michael, the budget was cut so drastically for the Santa Fe Dam recreation area, that it was thought by having the faire there, it would help with their budget crisis. Well charging $7.00 a car to get in to park I'm sure helped. It is unknown at this time whether the faire will be there next year. If it is, as Michael said, things had better change, including allowing camping. Otherwise people are just going to balk and not do it. I took pictures, so as soon as I download them and see what they look like, I'll post them if they are any good. Rumba Rue ** **
