Black Dog Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 June 1-3 is Hampton, Virginia's Blackbeard Fest. I was wanting to know who may show up this year. I'll be working the camp fires and trying not to poison anyone. Hopefully we will have enough rum to cure anything that comes up. I hear the crew from NQG will be there. The planning is well underway. If anyone has specific questions throw them my way. I'll find the answer if I don't know if offhand.

Capt. Sterling Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Is there period camping ? "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Yersinia Pestis Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 The first mate, the crew and I have made this festival for the past four consecutive years. We plan on making it this year also.
Black Dog Posted April 18, 2007 Author Posted April 18, 2007 There is period camping this year of course. The camp itself has been shifted a bit closer to the stage area (for those who have been there) allowing for more room. I know the website is being reworked and things are being added all the time. Anyone have a good recipe for dogs body??? looking forward to seeing old friends and new ones Willie the rumrunner - aka Cookie You can ner' have enough sand in yer stew.

Capt Thighbiter Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Well the Blackbeard Festival is almost upon us mates, who knows if the Kalmar Nyckle will be with us this year again? Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
callenish gunner Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 it shall be there sir.... spoke to a friend who crews on her she'll be heading down the week before richmond and the week after for norfolk
callenish gunner Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 I'll be vending there so if you are in search of weaponry bring cash or checkbooks i can't do plastic at this point unless you can make PAYPAL arrangements
callenish gunner Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 PAYPAL has a new service that allows payments to be made via your cell phone BUT it has to be set up on your phone in advance !!! it's free to do and it allows you to send payments directly to the merchant even without a direct point of purchase device to complete the transaction great for fair/fest vendors!!! would definately help the small festival merchants to make their money providing you with the pyrate booty you want!!!
TheBlackFox Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 m'lovely wife cannot attend this time 'round but I'll be there for all three days. . .takin' m'pictures for The Pyrates Way. . . and getting into as much trouble as one pyrate can. I look forward to leeching an ale off of everyone!
Silkie McDonough Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 If there is anyone else traveling from NJ just outside of Philly to hampton who would like to make the trip a little less expensive maybe we can carpool. I'll be driving down from NJ just outside of Philly early on Thursday 5/31 and returning Monday 6/4 no later than noon. PM me.
the Royaliste Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 After several weeks underway, I'm sure we'll be there with six or seven scallywags aboard..It'll be a blast (pardon the pun, eh?) ROYALISTE Pyratin' RRR Way Northward Thru the Carolina Swamps.....
Stynky Tudor Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 After several weeks underway, I'm sure we'll be there . . . What? Gary you’re going to be there? *sigh*. . . . Well I was thinking of going, but now I don’t know. . . I mean if you’re going ta be there with that boat of yours. Just kidding, just kidding, it’s a joke. . . Hey, you in the back stop throwing stuff. Ouch. I know, I know she’s a ship. Actually it will be good to finally see her after all this time, I missed me chance the last couple times I was in San Francisco. So aye, I’ll be there again this year to play pretend Pyrates and. . . and, Who keeps throwing stuff at me? Ouch, knock it off!

bloodydavycash Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Bloody Davy Cash will be there at least part of the weekend. I think I'm the only one from the PB who will be, but oh well. I live 5 minutes away, so its a no brainer for me. I'll bring period grog as usual....... BDC
Black Dog Posted May 24, 2007 Author Posted May 24, 2007 Ahoy Mates - final preparations are going at breakneck speed for the fest. The lay out of the venders and the pyrate camp will be different this year. The pyrate camp will be larger and centered in what has been the vender area in the past. Set up will begin on Friday. There are 2 vender area's - one for "period venders" and another for everyone else. I hear we have some fine craftsmen coming this year. one last thing rain rain go away -come again another day - say it with me now rain rain go away - come again another day LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT FEST Willie the rumrunner - aka - Cookie You can ner' have enough sand in yer stew.
the Royaliste Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Well, me heartie's, if ye be havin' any allergies to smoke,fire, or really loud noises, STAY AWAY!....We've blown the cobwebs outta the carronades, and they are up to thunder, by bloody heck!......We'll only be goin' to sea on Sunday, so there'll be a fair amount of time for visitin' and samplin' the wares, eh?
El Pirata Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Rather ironic, I will be emplacing the pier the boats will be mooring to on Thursday about noon. The big navy gray looking pier is in fact an Army pier. I will have a few troops out there as well. I am not sure I can get away from work but I will try to be there for the festival. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
TheBlackFox Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I had an incredible time at the festival and my hats off and heart goes out to the entire Blackbeard's crew, Jury Rig crew, and those of the Devilmen and several others who helped in the dry-set-up and wet-take-down. Although this was not my first visit to the festival, it was the first time I was given the opportunity to interect with all the pyrates who made this possible. . . . and they treated me as one of their own, with open arms and friendliness. Although the festival ended in the deluge of Tropical Storm Barry, Saturday more than made up for it, with warm sunshine and a packed-in crowd. I'd say more about the incredible time Friday night at the ball but I had so much fun that I've uh. . . forgotten some of it! LOL Here is a link to 47 of the 250 photos I took at the festival, many of which will end up in the Summer issue of The Pyrates Way! Pyrates Way Photos of Blackbeard Fest
