Rumba Rue Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Whooo-hooo! I'm buying my tickets to the con just as soon as I can! I am determined to be there!
Blackbead Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Bilge and Carmina - 'Nuff said and I will raise this for discussion no more. I understand your concerns and will do them honor. I'm also incredibly excited about the coming year's convention and will be there again with bells, whistles, flintlocks, beautiful jewelry and treasures from around the world. As for all the controversy, that's for those who stride the quaterdeck. I'm a fo'c'sle rat and I plan on making this coming event, whoever be runnin' it, one to talk about over flagons of rum for years to come! See ya in New Orleans!

Blackbead Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 RhumbaRue! I be guessin' ye'll be sellin' your own wares come this con! But I expects to see you early and often and at least a few times with a cold one in your hand! Take all you can . . . and ALL SALES FINAL!! Blackbead "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
Rumba Rue Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Nay, I'll not be buyin' a dealer's table, jest can't really afford it. But trust me dear Blackbead, I'll be bringing more feather hat pins (aye something to discuss in private) an' such. But I'll be partyin' hearty with all o' you!
TheBlackFox Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Aye, but The Pyrates Way will be set up to sell our rag via issue and subscription (again). Supporting the idea of PyrateCon is as important as the wave of income brought into the city of New Orleans to assist in its rebuilding. I think the point is well-made that we're 10 months out from the actual event and anything can and will happen when it comes to schedules of entertainers and speakers. The lineup of folks listed thus far is a very interesting group and I hope several speakers such as Jamaica Rose and Cindy Vallar return in '08. A pyrate can't help but wonder what would happen to our "pyrates-only" convention if a few big-name celebrities were included. For the sake of example, what if one of the four major PotC leads attended? I believe the convention would grow from a thousand or two into a huge 10-thousand-person event with most of the guests not being pyrates at all! My worry is that as a smaller group, we're a highlight in New Orleans. . . . as a huge group, we'd just be another Star Trek™-esque convention. Just my two-cents, but I'd rather have a concentrated group of folks who are really into the hobby/lifestyle/re-enactment than a watered-down mob of people in Johnny Depp t-shirts.
sirhenrymorgan Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Mister Mogan. Why have you removed your words? Perhaps next time you will think before you judge.New Orleans is still rebuilding after one devastating hurricane, she probably couldn't handle another one this year anyway. I removed my statements not because of any regrets. I will be attending the PyrateFest in the Bahamas at the same time as this event so I felt my input was no longer appropriate to this discussion. I hope the event goes smashingly well for all who attend. It sounds like it will be a grand one. -- Sir H. "Land only holds promise if men at sea have the courage to fight for it." - Sir Henry
roytheodd Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Arr! I'll be thar and be bringin' me wench too. She be an ol' friend o' New Orleans, but it be the first time this pyrate crosses it's shores. It be a good opportunnie fer to mingle wi' some o' the fines' pyrates still on the account.
Silkie McDonough Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 I will be attending the PyrateFest in the Bahamas at the same time as this event How delightful! I did a search and couldn't find anything about a PyrateFest in the Bahama's. Could you share the info so that some of us might go there? Thanks
Mad Eye Mitch Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 OOOOOH, but don't you want to hear what Kendra can talk about? Marty Klebba just sign on board and will there. Now he's got stories! <a href="http://www.pyratedaze.com/"><img src="http://www.pyratedaze.com/images/pyratedaze125.jpg" width="125" height="125" border="0" alt="Visit PyrateDaze.com!"></a>
Mad Eye Mitch Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 If you go to www.pyratecon.com Speakers, Cascabel & Braze. They are going to the Bahamas this weekend on the Wolf. They will bring back news of an event that will hopfully take place in Nassua. This event has been a long time coming and the same people that brought you Pirates in Paridise, Key West, will be the movers and the shakers. Sorry if you have never been to PIP. It was great in the golden age! <a href="http://www.pyratedaze.com/"><img src="http://www.pyratedaze.com/images/pyratedaze125.jpg" width="125" height="125" border="0" alt="Visit PyrateDaze.com!"></a>
Rumba Rue Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Whoooo-hooooo! My tickets (2) are bought and I've made reservations at the hotel (in case my stepmom doesn't come through with a time-share there) so watch all, because I'm coming to New Orleans next year!
SeaLassCyanne Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 This looks awesome, I'd love to go.. Now to just fit it in with the Budget of PIP '08 LOL. I'll try my damnedest to be there, please do keep us informed :) Pax, Cyanne
Captain Raevon Morgan Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 The Pyrate Con 2008 website is now up!http://www.pyratecon.com/ I am looking forward to this. I missed this convention this past year and I heard it was a blast.
Bosun Carmina Posted September 19, 2007 Author Posted September 19, 2007 The PyrateCon planning crew was in New Orleans this past weekend fer an early Talk Like A Pirate Day celebration and intensive planning and meetings! It was a very productive weekend, capped off by a visit to the battlefield in Chalmette where Sea Wolf and I participated in cannon practice for the upcoming Battle of New Orleans reenactment in January. Other members of the planning committee took this video of one of the firings, in which I was in the vent pick position and Sea Wolf was in charge of the linstock. We have been members of the Louisiana Purchase Living History Society for several years, and the group has been an integral part of PyrateCon!

Capt. Sterling Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Curious... what will be offered for the serious reenactors?

Rumba Rue Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 nothing. This is strictly for having fun and wearing what you want.
Bosun Carmina Posted October 3, 2007 Author Posted October 3, 2007 There will be plenty of guest speakers that will appeal to the serious reenactors! The schedule is still being developed!
Rumba Rue Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I'm sorry Bosun Carmina, I've been pretty sick the last few days and my brain is on another planet.....
Bosun Carmina Posted October 4, 2007 Author Posted October 4, 2007 No worries! Have a slug o' rum, kick back, and get better soon!
Capt. Sterling Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 nothing.This is strictly for having fun and wearing what you want. Rumba dear, we do that all the time any way...just don't need to spend a thousand dollars to do it if we stay home... Feel better Lady!
