I could care less what the San Diego Maritime people choose to do.
I was into pirates long before I even knew about the Star of India.
I am in total agreance with Hurricane on this subject.
In fact another site I visit, some of the guys who were all gung-ho on being Jack Sparrow impersonators have decided to go onto a more personal presentation of themselves instead of movie character. HOORAY!!!!!!
Sure I admit to having some cute pirate shoes, and some tops, and some great material from sewing stores has been a boon to the cause - courtsey of POTC craze.
The craze comes and goes with the times. A couple of years or so, it will be back. Do I care? Nope.
Now off to spruce up my garb for the Pirates Dinner Theater event tomorrow for Pirates of Treasure Cove, in Buena Park, CA.
