I'm sorry, I don't know of any, but I just had t'express me glee in finding that this shop be in Haverill, MA. I might be having to make a drive down there soon!

Curses! Chance'd be a fine thing indeed! I didn't even look at th'price tags on them there treehouses,, I figure it be best if I don't. I already know I can't afford 'em. Maybe when I a) Win the lottery b ) Somehow inherit a grand fortune c) Am involved in a bank job and somehow get out of it scott free d) Become terribly famous fer me annoying dry wit e) (preferably) All of the above. As I said, chance'd be a fine thing! Heheheh... luck. I thinks not.

::snarflechokewheeze:: Thousands of quid! Holy christ! I think some of their stuff is a weeeee bit overpriced there. There is a shop in Ougunquit(sp?), Maine, that's 'supposedly' a smoke shop, however, the whole front room is filled with military stuff from the revolutionary war through to WWII. They have some fabulous Admiral Hats that I've been coveting for the past year. I'll try and find the name of the shop and post it for you. Foxe, whereabouts do you live? My dad still lives near Reigate, and I was born in Epsom.

This be the... ahem.. censored version of the notice posted up on a friend's livejournal: This be next saturday, btw which is.... uhhh... the 25th of June! At Noon in front of the Main Entrance, the usual pack of nightcrawling oddities and sinister-looking cartoon characters will expose themselves to the rays of the Hated Orb™ long enough for brief photographic evidence, discount passes and a quick encounter with Park Security. You may also want to slap on some SPF-1000 to maintain your unwholesome barroom pallor. At 5PM, survivors are invited to congregate in the region of the bumper cars for grisly group photos followed by mass domination of the Blood-Soaked Abattoir o' Doom (The Bumper Cars). Yes, we know this is backwards, but we're going to try it this way this year. A word in the ear of any of you nicotine addicts or those of you whose film noir status would be compromised by failure to chain smoke - SMOKING IS STILL ALLOWED IN PARAMOUNT'S KINGS DOMINION. The extent of their policy is (and I quote) "Be aware, smoking is not permitted while riding rides, standing in lines, anywhere in WaterWorks or in any gift shop." So knock yourselves out. Besides, you probably don't want to smoke on the Flight of Fear anyway - the filter'd most likely go flying into your mouth and blow out your spine through the back of your neck. And yes, they still sell booze. Hey, listen up! The folks who run this establishment have some rules that they'd like you to follow. No cannibalism. No pets. No assaulting members of the clergy. No castrating, neutering, or emasculating other park-goers. No loading yourself up on methamphetamines, crack cocaine or hallucinogenic toads. No inappropriate use of home improvement materials. No displaying the words "F*** You" on any article of your clothing. No killing total strangers even if you really like their coats. O.K., that's pretty much it. You've been warned, but if you've still gotta go ahead and violate these rules, then expect to get the living crap beaten out of you by King's Dominion's savage army of animatronic prostitutes. Actually, we were just kidding about the prostitutes, but some of the security officers may be wearing thongs.

Anyway, so that's that. It should be an awesome time!

I don't think I be knowin' of any stores round there, but I'm no expert, t'be sure. As fer clubs, I'm pretty damn sure there are no pirate clubs, though ye'd do well to check out websites of goth clubs near wherever ye be living, as some goth clubs have pirate themed nights now an' then... or ye could just go t'the goth club in yer fanciest pirate garb. Aside from the garb I made, me garb all came from antique stores and second hand stores, or ren faires. Ye just have to be creative with what ye find. ( I found meself a fabulous velvet frock coat at an antiques store, along with me matching waist coat, both in hunter green. It pays t'look!) Try some o'the thrift stores down in NYC. Also, there's a woman near St. Marks Place ( if she's still there, it's has been a while, I confess, aye ) that does most excellent dreading and braidning work, she can do extensions and such too. What's this about a pirate "Phase" though? Be ye a day tripper? I'd like to hope we could keep ye 'in phase' as it were.

You're most welcome.

PS: A few skirts in different colours, layered and arranged poofily will add a more wenchy look too.

Well, my first real garb ( which could also be used for more piratey wench sort of things) Was very simple, but looks great with the right accecories. ( would be great if I could spell! ) Anyway. A chemise, an elastic or drawstring skirt ( leaves room for growing ) and some kind of vest or unboned bodice type thing. A chemise is very simple to make, and goes with everything! Custom Elizabethan Smock Generator The site above will give you directions on making the patter ( it's dead easy ) once you've put measurements in. With a chemise, it's fine to go a little larger, especially if she'll grow into it. A drawstring skirt is really freakin' easy. It's just a loop of fabric, with elastic or drawstring in one edge, then, embellish as you wish. The bodice, i'm not sure about. You could check out halloween costume patterns from simplicity or McCalls at wal-mart or wherever. Essentialy ( at least I think so) the finishing touch should be a hat. You can buy hat blanks at Jas Townsend, and stitch them however you like. Jas Townsend & Sons, Inc. This is just my tu'pence worth.

:: cough snarfle wheeze :: Are you kidding me? 41 Quid for a Denix?!!! I got an english flintlock and a blunderbuss from them for about 30 DOLLARS each. This guy's an ass! Also, I've seen that same sword at Cons, for a crap-load less than that. Freakin' ridiculous, I tell you! And, speaking of fraud, I got totally shafted on e-bay last year. I bought a medieval crossbow, supposedly sca approved, and i never got it, never got a refund, and the guy won't return e-mails anymore. he got kicked off of ebay and paypal. I ahve his real name and his SCA name, but don't know what to do about this. I was considering writing to his Baron and Baroness, and letting them know what he'd done, since he's a Knight. I think i'ts too late now to move for a wire fraud charge.

Sort of off topic, but I love the Jay Gatsby doll from the first site, also, the William Shakespear. Jack is a wee bit scary, and I'm not partial to Will Turned to begin with. I despise Orlando Bloom.

Alright, it's mostly official. Kindred Party, first Thursday. Much like Vlad's Masquerade party last year, this will be a themed party. It is a colour themed party infact. Since kindred colours are red and black, we decided to go for White with green accents, as this is the exact opposite. So, white garb ( I.E. white shirt and pants, with green accent ) is the code. People not themed will not be let in right away, though, the doors will be opened to the general mob later on. Just as a heads up. Feel free to come visit me, I'd like to get to know you all in person. Just ask one of our Clan where to find The Limey, or Sam, The Limey.

Check southwest airlines. www.southwest.com It all depends if they fly to the airports that you're looking for, but they're usually really freakin' cheap, and you can pick which flights you want. i fly with them really often, 'cause they're so cheap.

I have no live firearms, though I will be learning crossbow and hopefully will be purchasing a crossbow this year, thusly to join The Bastard Brigade. I don't have enough upper body strenght for bow, but I've enough combined arm strength to cock a crossbow... is that even the correct term? Sometimes I question my brain, I really do... I meant draw......... lol

Oh wow.. I should have looked at how many pages are here. Hahahahhaha... I just replied to a post from the first page. Oops. I Am Smrt!

Ahhhh... not all of us Limeys are stiffs. ^_~ ::grin::

I have no input, but by the way, Pirate Petee, your avatar and pic are amusing. Heeeeheheheheh. I think it's the grin that makes it..

Oooooooo! I will be at Pennsic for the entire two weeks. This could work! But, the important question, do you think you could make a croset/bodice that will give some kind of cleavage? hehehehhe I am quite interested to hear back from you.

Ahhhh.... I'll be ther fer the full two weeks, t'be sure. You'll find me down in the swamp during the day, usually hiding from the sun and hangover. I camp with Clan Kindred of the Wolf, right across the foot bridge. At night... your guess is as good as mine. Probably I'll be over at Ravenspittle, Vlads, Lost Boys, or Black Rose Tavern, unless I'm home,. So far, Kindred seems to be planning our party for the first wednesday or thursday. But I can't be certain, so don't hold me to that. It'd be nice if ye could make it, though, if ye be workin', ye may not

I find that a lot of leather bodices are wicked overpriced. The pre-made ones you find at ren faires for example. They're just mass cut panels, riveted together, for quite a large amount of money. I would love to own a leather corset or bodice, but I can't see how paying 300 odd bucks for pieces of leather hammered together with rivets is terribly worth it. Also, I'm a fiend for colour coordination. Also, Unless you're paying for custom work, it is nigh impossible to find garb for amller people. It really makes me mad! I'm 5'3 and 105lbs. You never see garb for people like me! The only piece of actual bought garb I have was a dress from Sophies Stitches, the last XS one they had. I'd love to be able to go to pennsic or wherever and shop for Garb, but alas no. Also, I'd love to be able to find a corset that makes me look as if I have -some- cleavage ( which is a task in and of itself ) But custom work is so damned expensive, and if I'm getting custom work done, I want to be there with the seamstress, getting proper measurements taken by the person who's sewing it!

Ahhh.. I just got back from PennLite last night. Great to be back on coopers land, even if it was far too brief. As one of my kindred family was telling me ( and it's true ) you get to penn lite, and 15 minutes after leaving, you think to yourself. "Damn... I was just getting my pennsic groove on too..." I can tell you though, that pennlite was freakin cooooooold! Jeeeeeeesus! Fortunately, By-Tor was in charge of Vlad's fire. Gods... that was a melt-your-skin-off type of fire. I got hit in the head by another pirate's teeth.... that was interestin'. It's not a party until my forehead gets injured unfortunately... heheheheh I am annoyed however. Someone has been burning palettes in our firepit while we've been away.... soooo many nails, not good for dancers. We could be there some time cleaning that lot up... Damned mundanes.

I'll be at pennsic, for sure. Entire two weeks and more infact. ( I hate rhymes ) I'll be campin' down in the swamp as is usual, away from all those crazy people getting up early in the morning :: shudder :: to go hit each other with heavy rattan. Ouchies. Nah, I'll stick to the swamp and wait until the suns low enough again to venture out of the trees. PS: Is anyone going to Penn Lite? <edit> PPS: I wouldn't mind meeting up with some of the folk off this board and sharing a few drinks either. Perhaps we should arrange a sort of unofficial pirate meet up some night. I'll have to find out what nights are party nights for my household this war though.

Those be fine bottles ye have there! I wonder, would ye possibly be able to have one ready an' shipped in time fer pennsic? ( aug 5th...? I think ) What colours can ye dye 'em?

Ye know yer a pirate when: Yer local bartender keeps a stock o'rum special fer when ye come in. Yer event holder tells ye that pyracy be illegal in these parts, and ye can lie wi'the best of 'em ( from under a really big hat ) Yer event holder is the law... and a pirate. Yer friends be contantly tryin' t'pilfer yer hat. Yer friends always know what te buy ye fer birthdays etc. When yer losin' a fight, ye make like ye cna't be bothered, then poke em in the ribs as they're turnin' away. ( This also be applicable if yer pretendin' ye got soethin' in yer eye. )

Arrr... it all be to far away fer the likes o'the northerners such as meself...... Damn and Blast! I wish we 'ad somethin' round here ( aside from King Richard's Faire ( which is TERRIBLE!(( Unless ye like payin' t'get into a shoppin' event.....)))) Mmm... Parenthasiseseseses
