Greeatings Brethren,
Last year the parade on Saturday evening seemed to be a great success. I want to open this thread to ask for comments, ideas, constructive criticism, or collaboration for 08'
By my count we had close to 80 pyrates on foot and on the ship. It looks like there shall be many more this year.
One note: The SFP crew carried our swords and pistols in the parade. All securely peace tied I might add. Shortly after we arrived on Duval St. and the parade disperssed, we had an encounter with one of the King's constables. He was less than polite and wanted to put us all in the brigg unless the weapons disappeared instantly. He also informed us that he was contacting his fellow enforces to rouste the bars for others who may be sporting such accoutraments. We made the offending hardware disappear but not without some further harrassement.
Did anyone else encounter such treatment or was it our misfortune to err in retaining our steel onto Duval St.? On the evening prior we had no such encounter.
I appreciate any honest and informative feedback.
Capt. Bill Gunn
