William Blydes Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Unfortunately, Pirate weekend wasn't much. From what I've heard, the faire took a loss last year (bad weather, other reasons given) so the cast is reduced, no extra acts and the cast is being paid less. Most of the acts push their own shirts and CD type thing. I was there on the sunday and was very dissapointed in the pirate-atude. Lots of Jack Sparrow and many other playtons, who would be in garb anyways.... But the cast didn't have anything special for Pirate theme. The Pirate dunk show was mostly the same as every other weekend... oh well. Going back in a couple of weeks (12th Aug) with friends in tow... anyone playing on being there?

PyratePhil Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 My son was there this past Sunday and was seriously underwhelmed. Said that PARF is far better. Not sure of the details yet, but he said the jousting was strange (1st joust no helmets - 2nd joust used foam lances?); the melee fighting was poor with cheap-looking weapons (speaking of weapons, they have that stiff no-weapons policy for visitors); the beer-drinking, instead of being confined to one area like PARF, had people wandering the faire with their trusty cups; yet the crowd was (for him, anyway) the biggest he'd ever seen at a faire. Said he wouldn't be in a hurry to return. ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Alexander Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I was there on Sunday and I agree that there were a lot of bad looking pirates. But they all seemed to be having a grand ole time, so more power to em. One however, had a gorgeous captain's coat on. It was worth it just to see the one coat. Follow the link and you'll see what I mean. The detail and embroidery was incredible. The pic doesn't do it justice. http://www.needlefairy.com/html/mens.html I didn't see many shows. But the "Empty Hats" are always wonderful, even without Victoria. I'm hoping to go back on the last weekend.

PyratePhil Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Oh, now that IS a gorgeous coat. ...wonder how many drunks I'd have to roll to get one? My son is also a huge Hats fan. Victoria isn't with them anymore? I liked her - we had fun during our local Ren faire doing improvs...of course, my first love will always be Lucy. ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hubby was very disappointed also. lol. Lucy is definitely my favorite.
