Redd Oktober

Alls I haver ter say is two words..."Oh brother!"

WARNING - SHAMELESS PLUG

Well...If'n ye don't want ter sew it...and if'n ye personal message me, I could put ye in touch with me uncle who has been a tailor in the Ren Faire circuit for some time. He recently finished an exotic pirate/gypsy line. He has many other pieces that you can mix and match. He doesn't have a website, but I'll be happy to get you in touch.

-Redd

Mine be "Casablanca", "The Bounty" (with Mel Gibson an' Sir Anthony Hopkins...and a bevvy of lovely island ladies), and "Aria". "Pirates of the Caribbean" be on that list too...as it just gets me into a verile mood.

Sounds fun....unfortunately, I be stuck on this continent fer a while.

ARR! That be one o' me favorite pirate movies (even though it be a 'modern day' setting...tis very piratical)!

I remember being a wee lad, and stealin' cardboard boxes from dumpsters, takin' em home, and building "pirate caves" in a creek behind me childhood home (it were a 5 acre "farm"...meanin' me mum likes horses). Too much fun...especially when the creek would fill up. Me dad even felled a dying walnut tree and made me a pirate bridge. I would pretend that I were one o' the Goonies!

Ahhh....memories.

Sorry...I calls it kit...must be the Brit in me! (Stop quirmin' ye lil' Englishman! I don't care if ye ddo have ter make candy fer Mr. Wonka!)

Arr! This be another one o' them faires that ol' Redd has a stake in (ouch!) because of certain creative relations (namely...his weird old uncle). Ladies...Steven Overstreet makes a beautiful array o' clothing that can be worn in any period (of time ye sickos...of TIME!)

Okay...Shameless plug be over.

Me mates here at work are flabbergasted, mates! One word seems to be a common utterance , "Aawwwww."

Then I correct them,

"No! It's ARRRRRR!!!!"

Wot a shame...me father (a huge Stones fan) will be heartbroke.

Arr...Jus' fer "gits and shiggles" I decided ter post me t-shirt design fer the NorCal Ren Faire (Casa). Enjoy!

Lookin mighty fine thar Matey! I like it!

Thanks fer the link Charity!

I agree. I used ter collect movie props (not many...the hobby is REALLY expensive)...As neat as them waistcoats be...I'd be happier just using the money fer a new piece that will fit my giant frame.

Arr-harr-harr! I laughed me wooden ass off!

Nay matey...me eye be covered in sores...Me damned monkey, Domino, be swiping me lookin' glass with hot pepper sauce again!

Damn ye, Domino!

I know I'll be checkin' in time and again fer one.

I'm cheatin' and wearing a comfy pair o' Ren Faire shoes what I acquired 7-8 years ago...wonderfully functional, even on deck!

Pirates AND Pagans! Sweet barnacles on the end o me beard! Now I've an excuse ter drage me wife out ter Whittier!

I be sending good vibes via King Neptune fer ye all!

Aye! Ray! That were his name. Redd were in his lubber's attire that day (seein' as how Desert Pirate be making good use o' Redd's famous black coat ...*sniff*...Redd be so proud)...and Master Amsbury chided young Overstreet fer not dressin the part.

Ah, a fellow dragon-lover (I think).

Certainly...I got ter make a dragon t-shirt design fer this years Casa de Fruta Ren Faire (this be the last weekend...shameless plug)!

Me old...OLD...mate "El Diablito" and I (known each other since we were prawns...come to think of it...he could easily be a younger brother ter Ace of Harbor Bay by looks...strange)...used to drool all over their pewter dragon tankards!

Tis such a shame. I've seen the usual drunken altercations at Faire parking lots in NorCal...but they've usually been dealt with with the best of care.

It breaks my heart when fun events like this are marred by violence.

Dunno if I'm that "in" with the Fellowship fer discounts. They be friends of the family...but they're still businessmen. Sorry. (if I could swing a discount fer pirates I would...esp with FF...their stuff is just too cool.)

The Lord of the Rings nerd in me has got me saving up for the "Death of Smaug" goblet.

Good.

And...fer what it be worth...I ran inter many o' Faire Folk who knows ol' Redd...and a couple of them mentioned "Those pirate people that showed up." and then proceeded to say how much they enjoyed seeing you there.

Well...there be always next year.

Thanks mates!

Arr! Some of ye Ren Faire types might be familiar with the booth known as "Fellowship Foundry"....me mate, (of Foundry infamy) asked me ter let all o' ye know about his latest addition ter his pewter collections...I be savin' up fer a set o' 4.

Pirate Shot Glass

oh...and he has an older design that be just as nice.

Skull Shot Glass
