Jacob Cook Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 I plan on attending as a period seamen if I get my kit together in time. Maybe there's a crew who I could take along to? I'll start the sewing as soon as I can...
Bloodrose Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Great news, Captain, thanks! I spoke via messenger to the ship's cooper of YPB and we straightened everything out. I also offered my help if the festival needs it. Captain Myfanwy T. "Bloodrose" Blodynrhos The Midnight Rose "Why is the rum always gone?" ::stagger:: "Oh. That's why."

Bloodrose Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 It's a canvas 13' foot round, that's no good? I hope so...we paid good money for it. Bought it from midwesttent.com Captain Myfanwy T. "Bloodrose" Blodynrhos The Midnight Rose "Why is the rum always gone?" ::stagger:: "Oh. That's why."
Bloodrose Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 For the period camp site, I mean... Captain Myfanwy T. "Bloodrose" Blodynrhos The Midnight Rose "Why is the rum always gone?" ::stagger:: "Oh. That's why."
Capt Thighbiter Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 Sounds OK to me for the re-enactment area, but then again, I know jack shit about period tents and encampments . Welcome to the Dry Tortuga of the North. Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
Bloodrose Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 Hey, I know that guy Jack Shit too! But he's French...Jacques le Merde... Captain Myfanwy T. "Bloodrose" Blodynrhos The Midnight Rose "Why is the rum always gone?" ::stagger:: "Oh. That's why."
Hawkyns Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Put the crew of the Mermayde down as definite. Not sure of numbers yet, but we will have a period camp and at least one of our cannon. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
Capt Thighbiter Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 Excellent! Welcome the the Dry Tortuga of the North. Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
Silkie McDonough Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I would like to come and stay in the encampment. I don't have a PC tent. I snore like a sailor. Would anyone have a corner in their tent for me?
Capt Thighbiter Posted May 20, 2008 Author Posted May 20, 2008 Well this event, for a first time effort, is shaping up to be a real whoopdy-doo. The support from the towns, media and local orgs has been superb. We are still adding more crews, more vendors and the latest addition to the entertainment - The Crimson Pirates! If ye southern scallywags hae not heard them, ye be missing some vera entertaining music. And, there will be a free-fire zone, for small arms! Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
Bloodrose Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Now that's my two very favorite piratical music acts at the Festival - Strike the Bell AND The Crimson Pirates! ::overcome with fangirlishness, faints:: ::wakes up:: My crew and I are VERY excited! Captain Myfanwy T. "Bloodrose" Blodynrhos The Midnight Rose "Why is the rum always gone?" ::stagger:: "Oh. That's why."
Red Sea Trade Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I just want to interject: @#$%%&!!! That is my reaction to the fact that I will miss this event. I spent most of my first 40 years of life just down the Island for the site. Now, of course, when I am 1500 miles away, they have a pirate event. Pardon me while I feed myself slowly into a paper-shredder. You may resume your discussion. Red Sea Trade In days of old when ships were bold just like the men that sailed 'em, and if they showed us disrespect we tied 'em up and flailed 'em, often men of low degree and often men of steel, they'd make you walk the plank alone or haul you 'round the keel. --Adam and the Ants
SaltyDog Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 HEY THERE ALL YOU SEA DOGS!! This be James B. Hawke, Cooper of Ye Pyrate Brotherhood, who be hostin' this here Pyrate Festival. If ye be a willin', go to www.mylitv.com to see some video promos of the festival. Hope to see all you there... J.B.H.
Island Cutter Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 The TV spot is certainly fun and I think it will draw good crowd from among the "Islanders". Does anyone have a reasonable guesstimate on the anticipated attendance? "No Profit Grows Where is No Pleasure Taken."
Capt Thighbiter Posted May 24, 2008 Author Posted May 24, 2008 The number the Museum staff feel is a good bet is 10K for the weekend. I know they told the food vendors ( caterers ) that. Cutter - I might have a commision for ye. PM me Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
callenish gunner Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 my other event for that weekend fell through i'm thinking about coming out to the island!!
Capt Thighbiter Posted May 25, 2008 Author Posted May 25, 2008 Hugh, they are still accepting vendor registrations, and I think you would do well at this event. Hope to see ye there! Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
Hawkyns Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Thighbiter- question about the "free fire zone". What are the powder regs, safety regs, etc.? Who is doing weapons inspections, are we maintaining standard 18th C standards regarding cartridge construction, loads, ringing barrels, and safety zones? For the cannon, same thing? If you need, I've been artillery and musket safety officer for a number of groups for 20 years. I understand you worked with one of my gun captains, Duncan McGuyver, at Baltimore, so you know what sort of things we work with. Free fire zone just sounds like a recipe for disaster unless carefully moderated and controlled. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
Capt Thighbiter Posted May 27, 2008 Author Posted May 27, 2008 Cascabel is the point man on that, sir. I am sure he would welcome some help, so the aforesaid disaster does not happen! I will be busy, playing music and running the main stage sound system. Pirate music at it's best, from 1650 onwards The Brigands
Bloodrose Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Holy crap, 10k attendance!!! That would be awesome! I'm so proud to be part of this! Captain Myfanwy T. "Bloodrose" Blodynrhos The Midnight Rose "Why is the rum always gone?" ::stagger:: "Oh. That's why."
Island Cutter Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 10K would be a tremendous turnout for a first run event. I was originally hoping for half that at best. Has any sort of program or detailed list of each day's events been developed as of yet? I am just really excited and looking for more infomation to muse over.
