Anything in cotton is good. Don't use bright colors. Nuterals are best. For skirts, try a not too heavy cotton duct (it will hold up quite nicely over the years) if doing gored skirt type. If not and just gathering material at waist, use something lighter weight.

Did you leave your costume in your hotel room? If so, call the hotel and ask. There should be a lost and found and if there, they can probably mail it back to you.

If you left it at the con itself, it's gone.

I'll send you a PM.

**I'd rather be in a boat with a drink on the rocks, then on the rocks with a boat in the drink**

I don't know about back east but here on the west coast if you go into just about any PetCo/aquarium stores you can find those skelton band figures and more that are used for aquariums fairly cheap!

**Here fishy, fishy, fishy, ...hop into my fryin' pan**

Well I thought 'Hey you, pour one', t'was good enough.

Geesh we gots so many pourin' ale, does it matter? Just so long as me mug is filled I don't be really carin'.

Rumba Rue

**I use ta have a handle on life, now all I gots is the mug**

Thanks for your write up. It's totally amazing how many great costumes show up for that convention and never at a regular sci-fi con.

Great pictures, though some didn't have an explanation as to who they were.

Anyway, glad to hear you had a busy, but fun time.

Rumba Rue

**To Infinity and Beyond!**

Happy berfday to ye, lass!  I'll buy ye a tankard, and let ye row in me boat, the Surly Mermaid if ye like... just 'ave her back by nightfall, luv!

Ah, it would be nice, but unless I'm high on Dramamine, I will be fillin' the boat with me insides....

An' to everyone else who has been so kind to remember me, I thank ye from the soul of me heart.

(Is that a waitin' list I see o' men?)

Rumba Rue

**You there, go hoist something**

Happy birthday girl! Stop by our camp at Ojai this year!

I'd love ta meet ye all, but I won't be at Ojai, I'll be in Canada.

Aye ye all be most welcome for kind thoughts and wishes.

But mostly recoverin' from a long day and night o' partyin' at the PRP Anniversary party yesterday. Unfortunately since I was steerin' the ship, I couldn't drink.....much.

Ah but I be makin' up for it NOW!

**The best kept secrets are in my bloomers**

Guilds usually have the line-up of President, vice- pres. etc. that members must look up to and follow a very strict guideline of what's expected.

PRP doesn't have that kind of stuff. As a group we aren't beholding to any higher ups. While we do have Board members, they are there to get our events, encampment and money in place, not to police us. We act as a whole group and are 'suppose' to follow the guidelines set up for the group. Well as it's been said before, 'the majority of us have more than once broken the rules.' I can most certianly attest to that myself.

We also have a standing rule you must be 18 to be in the group. If a young person under that age wants to join, then a parent must join too. We aren't babysitters and we do have 'ahem' liquor in the encampment (hidden from the event organisers as it's not usually accepted).

Hope this information has been helpful.

I'm sure if I've missed anything, PyrateQueen/Loretta can tell you.

Rumba Rue

**I had a mind once....I'm still looking for it**

I recieved a PM a few days back on why PRP - Port Royal Privateers wasn't listed in the Crew section.

Though I'm not a current Board member, I have been in the past so I can tell you this information.

PRP has never once had to solicte anyone to join us. People see us at events, like what they see and inquire.

PRP is also one of the longest Privateer groups around (11 years and still going strong), and most likely the most laid-back group of people too.

The majority of our members are well into their 30's and up. Our main goal is to interact with members of the public, hence we are an 'acting' group. We don't consider ourselves a Guild like other groups do. We are a private club.

Jeeeze, they're breeding like rabbits!! 

Hahaaaaaaa!

Wait, I see two Elizabeth Swanns coming in Sept. to Tall Ships! LOL!

I wonder how many POTC clones are out there? Probably LOTS! Oh this is too funny!

Rumba Rue

**Who needs a clone costume when all you have to do is be yourself?**

Who ever the Toby guy is, he was on the news here. He has the mannerisms and voice down very good.

Rumba Rue

**Welcome to the Carribean luv**

I bought one of those coins from Dead Men Tell No Tales (fomerly Fern Canyon Press), and while it's ok, it's no where near even a close likeness to the POTC ones. I tied it to the handle of one of my mugs.

I got one of the coins from Indy Magnoli Props, and love it! Double sided skull one, cost me $35.00, and I got the cheaper chain for $15.00.

The guy lives in New Zealand, according to the envelope it came in.

**LIfe is what you make it so make it happy** :)

So sorry I'm very late, but trust me I had a good excuse. On this past Sunday, the 25th was the wedding of a long-time girlfriend in Buena Park at Knotts Berry Farm.

So Boats and I decided to stay at a hotel across from Disneyland for 2 nights and went to California Adventure - which we really liked.

Will post more on this on the Beyond Piracy section.

So HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

Rumba Rue

Have you met up with Capt. Grey yet? (San Diego Star Wars Society booth)

Did you get to see the U.S.S. Ronald Regan come into the harbor on Friday? Did you get to see the fireworks show?

Rumba Rue

**Just full of questions today** :)

I'm not sure there is anything as a pirate accent. My character tends to flip-flop from Irish, English, to old South.

But lots or arrgghhhs do wonders!

Rumba Rue

**I can imagine quite a lot**

Thank you Seven Seas, that's terrific information!
