Capt. Sterling Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Is the event still on? And who might be attending?

Cheeky Actress Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Here you go, Captain Sterling: I obtained this information from Black John's site. July 7, Pirates Invade the Lockhouse, Havre de Grace, MD A group of pirates lands at a port in Maryland, looking to sell their wares, only to find opposition from local law enforcement. Era - 1710s Camp - Trading and raiding party with civilians and coffeehouse Opposing Forces - yes So, it does look like it is still on. Member of "The Forsaken"
'Bastian Devareaux Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I would almost sell my sister to attend....C'est la vie, perhaps next year... **scowl** It is time to pause, even so early, for this account is not intended to be about my life...but is, as I have said, about my life's secrets. Secrecy is intrinsic to my work. ~ Christopher Priest “Five and Twenty Ponies, Trotting thru’ the Dark. Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk. Laces for a Lady, Letters for a Spy.Watch the wall my darling; While the Gentlemen go by.”~Rudyard Kipling
Silkie McDonough Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Hmmm, so close ...be a shame to miss it. I shall investigate.
Patrick Hand Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Cool.... give me a weeks notification...... Yah right..... I thought Lockhouse was in November,...... (or there abouts...)
CrazyCholeBlack Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 the Lockhouse event is twice a year Mr. Hand. July & November. Try logging in over at the Pirate Brethren's forum again, Captain Sterling. That is where they discuss "Upcoming Events" after all. "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

Capt. Sterling Posted June 20, 2007 Author Posted June 20, 2007 Cool....give me a weeks notification...... Yah right..... I thought Lockhouse was in November,...... (or there abouts...) Pat, this thread has been up since June 11....more than ample time! Seriously though, there is another Lockhouse in November...weekend of the 3-4... Nov. is the one the crew of the Archangel is really aiming at. Unfortunately with gas prices the way they are this summer, and two big August events up in the northern midwest, moving 30 some odd folks over and down from the midwest for a one day event in July is really pushing it cost wise. Car pooling or not. Hopefully things will be a whole lot better in Nov.. still we are committed to the Nov. event. (AND hopefully things will be a whole lot better gas wise NEXT summer... it really is putting a damper on travel) It is also critical that we make the Nov. event as a pre-PiP practice... go over the hangings, swordplay, and tis when I am collecting all the tents, gear etc, of the rest of the crew, since I will be driving down from Virginia and they will be flying in... so if you can make both Lockhouse, then great.. if you can only make one... the Nov. might be your best bet for meeting lots of folks... either way, Blackjohn will treat ye right. He is a gem of a host. "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...

Capt. Sterling Posted June 20, 2007 Author Posted June 20, 2007 Yes thank ye Chole. well aware of that... also one of the event organizers is a member of the Archangel... so I get an earful both ways...

blackjohn Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 I find myself slightly surprised to say this, but today's Lockhouse event was the best pirate event my group has ever done! More pirates than ever before, more govt forces than ever before, more public than ever before... a tremendous turnout by the public, in fact. The organizer estimated over 1000! Crikey! Because of the turnout, we did more battles than ever before. Four gunfights during the course of the day, in between those, fencing, fencing, fencing. And... I was so busy, I didn't find time to snap one single pic! Me... the shutterbug! Not one pic! But I think some other folks snapped a few. If I find any, I'll pass them along. And now, to bed. Hopefully it won't spin too much from the consumption of rum. ps - fwiw, during events I try to stick to the no camera rule, cameras being one of those things that "bursts the bubble."

Capt. Sterling Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 Glad to hear it and sorry we are to have missed it, but such is life...

Cheeky Actress Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 In the 1,000s?! Gosh, would have been a great time. Looking forward to November. Cheeky Member of "The Forsaken"
blackjohn Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Over 1000. Seriously, it could have been less, I don't know. But I do know this, the number of spectators we had for any one battle this time around equaled the entire turnout from last time around. Fortunately, the site's manager snapped some good shots. For those of you who don't frequent our mail list or forum, here are a couple of pics... http://images25.fotki.com/v906/photos/1/11....jpg?1183867707 http://images25.fotki.com/v908/photos/1/11....jpg?1183869239 http://images25.fotki.com/v906/photos/1/11....jpg?1183870108 http://images25.fotki.com/v897/photos/1/11....jpg?1183872559 http://images26.fotki.com/v912/photos/1/11....jpg?1183868667 My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
blackjohn Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 As for where will we be next... Port Deposit for a timeline event/Captain John Smith 400 celebration. The next BIG event, the colonial plantation at Ridley Creek PA on August 8. I'm hoping this one is going to be a whopper of an event!

Capt. Sterling Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 Am I reading that correctly, Aug. 8? on a Wednesday?

blackjohn Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Mea culpa. August 4th. A Saturday. One day event. http://colonialplantation.org/ My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Cheeky Actress Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Oh, what wonderful shots, BlackJohn. It looks as if everyone had a great time of it. Can't wait til this fall. Cheeky Member of "The Forsaken"
blackjohn Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Yes, and the weather will be nicer too. The weather wasn't too bad, considering it was 90ish with very low humidity. I did all but the final battle in full kit. For the last, I stripped down a bit. "Only two cartridges left? Better make them count!"

Capt. Sterling Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Have anything special in mind for us to start working on for Nov?

blackjohn Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 No, you all travel quite aways, bringing yourselves is fine with me. Another pic from the final battle... we were ambushed by the militia on the way into town. After that, the scenario became a rolling gunfight. Hence, my only having two cartridges left.

blackjohn Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 The Cecil County militia was this year played by the Baltimore Rangers, the Maritime Regiment of Foot, some Pirate Brethren turncoats, and was commanded brilliantly by Joe Marek of Merrick's Privateers.

blackjohn Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Yep. Felt like doing something different. Haha... maybe come November I'll wear my red ribbon special! My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
