Cheeky Actress Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Sjöröveren, you know you get coffee in your room, right? Not to mention they just opened up a Starbucks in the lobby last year...so if you need a fix - you are all set! Oh, and we are working on some very impressive lecture hosts for RF4 - keep your fingers crossed you lot. This could be the BEST Reenactor Fest yet!

Capt. Sterling Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Where else would I spend the naturalist's birthday?

LadyBarbossa Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Room is booked and ready for RF4. Will be starting on my new gown soon to show off at RF4. And will be purchasing those tickets soon, too! Oh, I do belive the 4th Mass will be there, too, at RF4. Would be a GREAT time to discuss with them Port Washington. Perhaps a couple others from the NWTA to convince them to come. Maybe do some scenario planning so to speak. Showcase more reenactment and realistic stuff at Port Washington. Hehehe... Sterling being like the Mercer baddie... having all the Soldier's backing him up and arresting the pirates. Oooooo.... Oh, what fun it will be! MUST DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!!! ~Lady B PS.. :::looks at Sterling;:: Naturalist? Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

LadyBarbossa Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Oh, dear Lord... Sterling's gone mad. All in all, I'm sure it will be a blast! Naturalist. Hmm... Why do I have the words playing within my head of that wee lad from "Master and Commander" becoming a "fighting Naturalist".

Cheeky Actress Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Exciting news! Reenactor Fest 4 will be the first year we have a celebrity or two in attendance! Things are looking very positive that we'll have British star Jason Salkey from the mega-popular Sharpe's series (starring Sean Bean from Lord of the Rings and Goldeneye among others). Mr. Salkey was a key member of the cast, playing Rifleman Harris in every single episode. It's more of a long-shot, but we are also trying to get Bernard Cornwell, the author of the Sharpe's series of books as well as MANY other historical works. Keep your fingers crossed on that one! In any case, RF4 is going to be the biggest and best one yet! Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Ooooo... How wicked! Heard of that series. Not seen it. I find it absolutely intreguing how those uniforms were awefully close in likeness to Simcoe & Tarleton's Legions uniforms. Can't wait to see what more is in store! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Rats Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I have off that weekend and would be glad to go. Now if a set is needed, I would be glad to assist. However, as some of you know, my shoulder was dislocated and I doubt will be up for such extreme lifting.... Though I wouldn't mind bringing... Well you know what we have!!!! The question is where should we set up and how much room can we steal??? Rats No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Rather liked where we were actually when you really think about the location...what say you?

LadyBarbossa Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Ready? No. Working on my new gown. FINALLY just started it. I'm pushing my luck to have it fully finished in time for RF4. :::knocks on the wood of the Black Pearl::: Hopefully it'll be fully done in time. Otherwise, I'm ready... I think. Poor Rats. Just... becareful with doing "shout" this year then at the Ball late night. Oh! Cheeky... If I may... offer a recommendation of a Speaker some year. Dr Anthony Scotti has studied the British Legion for many years. I've heard him before at a couple symposiums held in SC. And his information on not just the British Legion but some battles in the South are priceless! There are a few good Researchers who are fantastic in the era of the Rev War with their information. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Rats Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 A nice area indeed! If possible closer to the door.... Such as where the Romans or the Revwar fellows were, even better. However, the question then is... Do we want to bring in an overhead canvas and lanterns for the full effect??? Were we allowed candles??? We also need recruit sheets and such!! Perhaps an improvised servant auction and or payment of the crew?? Has anyone contacted the Marches, the Rydens or the Swansons about this venture?? Then there are our "plank walkers"???? Matty Bottles! Are you out there??? I will also be perfectly honest... It's worth going just to see Captain Pete "perform" to Paradise by the Dashboard Lights!!! I won't even get started with the Time Warp!! JMHO! Rats No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Actress Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Rats, As for 'real' flame...this would be a huge no-no. Blaze would diffenently put the kibosh on this. For security sake, I would like to see us where we were last year...located behind the closed doors. This is because the Romans had to move everything back behind the doors after hours. Way too much for us to do - besides set up last year took 2 1/2 hours. I will confirm location with Mike. Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Bottles Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Rats, Matty is here and planning to go - with a few prospects, hopefully. I'll be able to help you lift and whatnot. I wonder if we could possibly set up the tavern, if space allows... "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.
