Silkie McDonough Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 One more thing - visiting pirates - please feel free to bring down the family pet - we need to have something to test our new spit out with. I don't care - dog or cat - maybe even a hampster to two. I'll ship her down early! Honestly though I never wanted a dog and now I have this dog that needs more space and more attention that I have to give her. A friend called and said that if I didn't take her they would have to have her put down (won't go into the details) She loves some people hates kids and teens and most other dogs. I know she could be retrained by someone with more time. Great watch dog for someone who does not live on a main street. How does one go about finding a new home for a pet? Anyone who knows PM me.

Dutchman Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 just posted this over in the pictures thread. how about a pub photo shoot at the festival. i think about a dozen and half will be there. saturday night between the dinner and fireworks or sunday morning.
Cheeky Actress Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 What a wonderful idea! Give others a chance to see who's who and the fun we are all having! Member of "The Forsaken"
callenish gunner Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 always a good idea to have photo-ops whether it be of pub members or just event pics .....the more pictures i feel the greater the future interest it can create for these events ....as is said a picture is worth a thousand words Say "SAIL HO!!!"
Dutchman Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 folks i just learned on another thread a pirate could not attend and let their room go. if this happens with anyone else, please contact me and i'll see about getting someone in it. the hotel is full with the next closest five miles away.
callenish gunner Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 what is the next closest hotel/motel to the harbour?? we've got a mate who doesn't like to rough it .. .pm me if you would
Dutchman Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 hotels within 5 miles that you would not mind leaving your grandmother in radisson (sits in the festival grounds) 1-757-727-9700 holiday inn, hampton hotel & convention center 1-757-838-0200 embassy suites 1-757-827-8200 campgrounds Newport News parks 1-757-888-3333 (tis a real number, i checked) OK, just got an update on the raddison/ harborside hotel what ever its called this week. as its under new management, they are redoing rooms. they have a set number for us that apparently are filled. the rest of the hotel is filled as well. they are still working on rooms- so some more are expected to be added. all i can say is call and see what you can get. callinesh, if this does not work and your crew ends up at one of the outlaying hotels, pm me or call pete about parking arrangements.
Black Dog Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Aye Dutch - ye be fergetting the cheapy park I told ya about a while back. I did a copy/paste here with the info. ***** Shhhh - tis a secret, For anyone who is attending the Fest, pyrate or not - Gosnold Park is a great small campground - but only if you have a trailer, rv, or popup. Gosnold Park is about 3-4 miles from the fest. I stayed there 2 fests ago. Very nice - clean - cheap @ $10 bucks a night. The only draw back - no tents allowed. OK - well - there are 2 draw backs - they don't take reservations - its first come first serve and for trailers / rv's only. There were still over 2/3's of the camp empty when I was there. http://www.freecampgrounds.com/detail.aspx?id=547 ****** Now Dutch - tell ol' Cookie about this room - its at the RAD?? Cookie You can ner' have enough sand in yer stew.
Dutchman Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 ah- is gosnald newport news or private. forgot about that one. as to my accomodations. less you want to take on a wench with a REALLY BIG pan stay to your side of the camp. The taj mahal should be up and we have our block over by the colisuem... figure that one out. of course you can always pull watch on the explorer for me. the benches have just been linseeded and we're using the old sweeps that spring. they make a nice rack. By the way, if anyone is up for a total pyrating submersion adventure, the following weekend a group of us will be rowing/sailing a schallope 17 miles (as the gull flies) to tangier for the weekend to celebrate the 400th annaversary of john smiths landing. some of the more hearty are going with the clothes on our backs and whats in our sacks just to say we did it. (party like its 1718) we will be leaving thursday and returning sunday if anyone is interested in bending an oar.
Black Dog Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Dutch, Gosnold is run by Hampton as part of their parks and rec stuff. The 2 drawbacks to the park are its trailers of RV's only and there are no reservations. The bath house and laundrey were nice. It was a nice cheap place to stay - very quite. It is only 3-4 miles from Mill Point Park - about 15 minutes or less. Cookie You can ner' have enough sand in yer stew.
William Brand Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 We created a large Pyracy Pub flag at PIP this year for group photos. Our intent in creating it was, and still is, to send it to festivals about the country for group photos. The flag is signed at each location with the names of those who are featured in the photo. We'll see that it is shipped to a caretaker during the festival. That caretaker will then add the names and send it on to the next location.
Dutchman Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 if no one has been tapped for that position yet. i would be honored to hoist the colors- or- i'll be happy to receive it at this end and hand it off to whom ever upon their arrival if needed.
William Brand Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Captain Sterling has already agreed to be the custodian of the flag at this event, but thank you for the offer. It will no doubt pass through many hands over the next few years and I look forward to seeing it fly behind a great many friends here at the Pub. My thanks again to the Callahans for buying the materials and helping me build it.
Dutchman Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 why you would trust a crew of pyrate hunters and corrupt politicians is beyond me. no problems, we'll get a few good shots and have it ready for the next appearance. thanks for sending it up to us.
