Roll Call 2008

[William Brand]

Because it is never too early...

This list is provided as a roll call throughout the year to gage the number of attendees who are staying inside and outside the Fort Zachary Taylor Historical Park at PIP 2008. The attendees will be listed by camp (period or modern) or hotel. Attendees may be a part of any encampment without camping inside the park and interaction during the festival is not limited to camping arrangements. The list merely reflects names and sleeping arrangments of attendees and the list will be updated towards the end of the year with a "confirmed" status for those attendees who have secured their transportation to and from the event. There are many period camps under the pines and palms along the beach. There is also period camping inside the fort in the 1680 Port Royal Buccaneer Camp, the Red Coat Camp and the Sutler Camp, as well as modern camping and hotels. We would like everyone to sound off as often as they can with updates on when, where and how they will be attending PIP 2008. If you do not know where you will be staying, you may still be posted to this tentative list. Please send me names, tents, hotels, encampment information, etc.

For information on the period camps or other arrangements, please see the other threads in the Pirates in Paradise forum, or post your questions here.

Mission, barber-surgeon, Mercury, period, comma, question-mark and out. Leaning towards a hotel...or a multi-bedroomed house if there are several people interested. (Preferably in the Truman Annex...well, I can dream, can't I?) I wouldn't mind setting up thing like Patrick had, just to try it for one night, though.

[Patrick Hand]

I'm going again.... it will make my fifth year......

Campin' next to the beach.... in Key West..... a fifth O' PiP...... wot more could ye ask fer.....

[hurricane]

The 1681 Port Royal Encampment has already reserved a place for our Catt & Fiddle Tavern and mercantile for the coming year. We'll be redecorating a bit since a year has past and the rogues have broken up some of the furniture and made away with some of the fine rum punch we all imbibed in. We'll be gambling again (period games like Passage and Bankafalet as well as new ones), drinking and storytelling in a newly remodeled tavern on the corner of Thames and Lime in lovely Port Royal.

Confirmed are:

Hurricane

Diosa (aka Mary Read)

Bootleg

Red Handed Jill (ours)

Youngblood

Oryginal Cinn

Touche

Master Studley

Animal

Sheila

Mizzen

Willie Wobble

I will also be trying to bribe Water Rat to fly in from Oregon, my pirate friend for 26 years and a pirate hisself for 60.

May have a few newbies in tow as well some familiar old faces by then.

[William Brand]

1681...?

Excellent.

[Capt. Sterling]

Archangel Crewe

I and the snotties will be there come hell or high water...

And I bet I can vouch for Tiger Bill, the Diamonds and Maddogge, Amanjiria's clan.. We will just have to kidnap Cheeky this year and somehow I promise to drag Silkie down there as well!!! Kicking and screaming if I have to...

[Lily Alexander]

Edward and I are definitely in. Although I'm not sure where we are staying. We've been considering getting a tent and camping although the house idea has potential too.

[Capt. Sterling]

You know it might be worth looking into a time share down there... Big Sis managed to find a beautiful one in Williamsburg... three bedroom, two huge baths for $300. for the week... aye I know tis Key West but you never know...if enough people kick in....

[Misson]

Without doing a lot of research (I picked Truman's Annex because it is as close as you can get to the event, which I think would be a big plus):

http://www.rentmyparadise.com/CHPics.htm

That particular would wind up being $400 + tax (probably about $50 or so) per bedroom for the week (they say it sleeps 8, but that must be with people on the couch and whatnot).

[Capt. Sterling]

Only four hundred for the week? Wow, I'm in... of course I will be camping but just for the shower or if needed...well worth the price...

[Lily Alexander]

Are you sure about the price??? That doesn't seem possible to be that cheap.

Edit: I sent a message to get the brochure and more info.

['Bastian Devareaux]

I have to agree with Lily. Prices for lodging in general tend to go up in Key West during any festival / event. You may wish to verify that pricing holding true during PIP.

[Misson]

Here is the price list:

http://www.rentmyparadise.com/kwrates.htm

Low season at these places is thru mid December which easily covers PiP.

However, further reading proves that the other house I linked to (which is indeed a $1200 per week 3/3) is located at mile marker 5. IE - off island. So scrap that idea.

There is a house that is actually in Truman Annex that rents for $2200 per week (which is about right from past experience) here:

http://www.rentmyparadise.com/502.htm

This is also a 3/3 with a sleeper sofa in the "den" making for a 4th possible rental. (I dunno about anyone else, but I wouldn't want to spend a week on a sleeper sofa - call me a soft pirate.) Still, @ 3 rooms, you wind up at $733.33 for the week. @4, it would be $550. FLA tax on rooms used to be 11%, although I don't know if that's changed.

As I said, I'm only glancing at these things to gage pricing. Of course, you get no maid service when you rent a house, so if that matters to you... You do, however, get a kitchen, FWIW.

[Lily Alexander]

It's a great idea and definitely worth looking into further. Ya did good my friend.

[Capt. Sterling]

I heartily agree!

[Captain Jim]

Dammit, man! Why is my name not automatically on that thar list? Ohyou want a big ol "x" do ye?

X

How about that, Eh?

Oh, yeah, add two more for the wench and the swab:

X X

The swab and I will be staying in a tent. The Wench (aka SWIMBO, She Who Must Be Obeyed) may be staying in a hotel. Doesn't sound like much fun to me, though.

[Iron Jon]

Paula and I will also be there next year but with a bigger tent and some of my woodworking stuff to set up. I have a bow lathe and a shave horse I can bring and maybe turn out a few belaying pins and such if there's an interest in it.

Also concerning the rentals in Key West. I rented a 2/2 in Truman Annex (the last house on Southard) during August and September and the price wasn't too bad. You get a little better deal when you rent for a longer term but it still came out to about $115 a day.

[Lily Alexander]

I'm sure Edward is going to be mighty interested in your set up Iron Jon. I may have to hate you for it later though.

[Patrick Hand]

I wouldn't want to spend a week on a sleeper sofa -

That's why a ...hammoc be so dang cumfy........

Other than showering (fer those wot do such things),Maybe a shaired room. fer those wot gots to 'ave hot water an such.... may be another alternative.....

Camp on th' beach.... then go to the (sharied room to (ick)clean up........)

[William Brand]

That's what I like to see. Early recruits. Now start working on the rest. Someone needs to find Boo. Hell, I'm going to go find him right now.

[Patrick Hand]

2005.... there were four of us camping

2006 .... there were four of us camping

But we kept thinking and working on it.... beleaving it could be soooo much better....

2007...... DANG....IT WAS BETTER.....

(and thanls to everyone who made it soo much better...)

Just look at the pictures... and that don't tell half of the fun.........

Lets see wot we can do fer 2008..........

2008 PiP (and afterwards) is going to be the "must do" fer all Pyrates.....

The Fort... the location... the comradery (think I spelled that wrong...the word fer beiong with a buncha cool people and frends (new and old) and alla that good stuff) .......damn... everything....

Dang.... cost too much.... I fly outta California, for about $450..... have $500 spending money (thats for everythins parking and such)...... camping on the beach in Key West (Priceless)

This year was great...... next year......

A fun asside..... fer a buncha blood thursty murderin' Pyrates......it was fun to hear almost everyone say what a nice buncha peope we really are.... helpfull an alla that...... but.... hey.... we really are.......

[William Brand]

I found Boo Gator. Well at least I sent him a Private Message on another site inviting him to register on the Pub, so we'll see if he turns up.

[Capt. Sterling]

Paula and I will also be there next year but with a bigger tent and some of my woodworking stuff to set up. I have a bow lathe and a shave horse I can bring and maybe turn out a few belaying pins and such if there's an interest in it.

Heck bring all the wood working stuff you can... with the shipwrecks we could keep you busy all week doing emergency repairs, rebuilds etc...

[Capt. Sterling]

I have to agree with Lily. Prices for lodging in general tend to go up in Key West during any festival / event. You may wish to verify that pricing holding true during PIP.

Oi CBIL ye better get yer tail feathers down there next year if ye want to be keepin peace in the family... we can certainly work smugglers into the scenario.

[Silkie McDonough]

Well ...you can list me with the Arch Angel but honestly ...I will be running the "ordinary" and more likely to side with the Mercury (Arch Angel being British, William being on the and me being Irish, part of my characters history) but I get business from both ...so just call me Switzerland.
