hurricane Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 For those already planning for next year, the dates should be as follows (unless I'm reading the Mayan calendar by mistake): Fort Fest is: Thursday, Dec. 3 through Sunday, Dec. 6. For those with more time to burn, PiP begins Nov. 27 and continues through Dec. 6. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Captain Jim Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Is there any chance we could get the camping dates extended for the whole thing? Some of us can't afford the hotel fare. I mean, I could buy a full-scale 3 pounder or a pair of blunderbusses for what I would spend on room and board that I don't provide myself. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbie Rose Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yes we need to find out about camping dates. We would love to camp the whole time. Same here goes for the hotel fares and such!!

I am willing to bet that plenty of pirates would be willing to put in some work for those extra days.... OK, so we would do any work you need anyways, but as far as the fort goes... they could think of it as free labor in trade for extra camping :) Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diosa De Cancion Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 See, the more days we can do camping, the more days of labor you get from pirates cause they can afford to be there. Honestly I know the BIB's broke their darn backs setting things up.... more hands can help. Not to mention we could do the mundane tasks like raking the grounds before we set the first tents, then raking the grounds for the rest of the tents.... Heck, SPike, if you think the Fort cares, let me know and I will make a darn list of all the things that early campers could do.

The folks at the Fort luv us, but I don't think we will get a committment until the "new guy" gets into his office. But a list would surely help show the value of having us Pyrats around the Park.

Motion seconded ! Thanks! Woohoo!!! Spike seconded my motion!!! Well, let's see...... off the top of my head....there's.... a general clean up of all the areas that we will be using before hand. It's good that they're clean for us as well as for the park. Clean up during the fest to keep the place clean. raking and smoothing of the encampment area... Trash buckets to be put out for the encampment (as well as inside the fort) fire buckets in place at the encampments as well as water in the main bucket. Setting up of any of the tents, game tables, or anything else that needs to be set up pre fest. Take care of early registration and check ins (train a couple of people for this and make them the cell phone numbers to call so Harry can sleep in a day or two) Heck, I'm an early riser...which means so is my crewe since i wake them up, so any of us could do that. Security, to make sure there is always someone on site during the pre days keeping the public out of things they shouldn't be in. That's a start.... feel free to add those who know what else needs to be done!

Silkie McDonough Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 We must all consider the additional expense of having us on the beach for additional time. The port-o-johns were useless by the weekend as it was. That having been said ...I am up for an early arrival if i can swing it. hope to have a new job and location by then so I may not have the needed time available to commit to it.

Harry Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 They don't call themselves Waste(d) Management for nothing! I think there were enough port-o-pots, but there was a miscommunication on gettting them pumped out. If there's one thing I learned from high school civics and college poly sci, residents are happy when the trash gets picked up and the heads are clean and working. At least we were somewhat successful with that and for 2009 the situation will be improved. ------- Fort Taylor Pyrate Fest MySpace Page Master Hairbone's MySpace Page ------- There is no more equitable judge than a cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Sterling Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Please do, I am watching this thread to see how to help, but at the moment can make no promises as I am one of the designated drivers of crewe crap... and nine times out of ten, I'm exhausted before I even get there... but if I can help... you know I will.

Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I'd be happy to pitch in and help as well with whatever help is needed. Whatever might be able to get campers in a few days earlier. Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
