michaelsbagley Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 The Scioto Pirate will be there in full force... Capt. Mark G and wife will be bringing their boat, wife and I will be there, Dan, and Thomas (or so I hear) will be there, perhaps some others as well... I've been in fairly regular contact with Nathan over this one, and it sounds as if this year the event has grown yet again! I'm pretty stoked about finally getting a chance to check this event out for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year he is going to try 75 and see if there is room for any more. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelsbagley Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 As of this very second I do have the entire week off... But the wife could not get a single day off that week... So I am fairly determined to cancel the vacation time and save it for another occassion... So we are stuck going home for a break of a few days before heading out again. So we will be at Pike River Friday evening, all day Saturday and Sunday until the afternoon, and then we will have to leave... Our Paynetown times will likely be similar, but because it is only a 3 1/2 hour drive, we will not arrive as late, and will be able to stay longer Sunday.

michaelsbagley Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Well.... The site "officially" opens on Friday, but if you contact Nathan, he would have the answeres as to whether it is okay to show up early and how much early one can show up. Also you should check out the Pirates in Paynetwon Web Site... One link of particular improtance is the Registration Form I don't want to tread on any toes here, but if none of the other Archangels are gonna show, you're more than welcome to camp with the Scioto Pirates for that weekend. We'll have 6 or more of us there, and "Firefly" (what I believe Mark has settled on naming his boat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyfanatic Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Sorry guys, too many message boards... I missed this whole conversation!! Glad to see the scuttlebutt though. Ok, so here's the deal... I will be there on Wednesday afternoon sometime, however, due to space restrictions, I will have to chart out and hold each space based on the number of camps REGISTERED. This is why Michael pointed out the importance of registering... And Mark is right, we upped the registration limit to 75 camps, but I'm not certain that we'll have enough room if we do reach that number. For this reason, if you are NOT pre-registered, you will have to wait until all registered campers have arrived and set up. (This could be as late as Saturday morning, which would suck if you arrived on Thursday, right?) So, be sure to pre-register. It's really important... (Getting pirates to register is like herding cats... Don't push your luck or I'll stop the rum! ) Now, I would recommend setting up Thursday or Friday, however, should you decide to arrive on Wednesday, just remember two things... One, you can't set up until I get there, and two, you have to help me set things up... Bwahahahaha!!! Also, for those of you who are coming to Pirates of Paynetown for the first time, please bear in mind that this is a pirate event that is run by a period-music-loving nightowl, so there are no quiet hours when it comes to music, as long as it is period... (No "best of the 70's", unless you mean 1670's...) I will be designating Christoff the Wine Merchant's Publick House as the scene of debauchery, so if you want me to place your camp on the other side of the peninsula, let me know... We are also looking for more public programs and interactions/skits. Remember, we don't have a real budget yet, but we're getting better. Taylor Rose Historical Outfitters is offering a $25 credit at the event to anyone who is willing to do a short program for the public. I know it's not much, but maybe we'll throw in some other goodies as well. Also, there is a pitch-in dinner on Saturday evening, followed immediately by the Sailor's Divvy. (For those of you who have never been here before, remember that this is our big fundraiser... We have some mildly humiliating fun selling donated gear while you guys get some great deals and watch me and Jennifer make fools of ourselves... Remember, we will be collecting donations for the Sailor's Divvy, so be sure to bring some old gear or any period or pirate-ish goods that you're willing to part with. All proceeds go to keeping Pirates of Paynetown alive! We will have live music from Jack Salt and a first-person interpretation of an indentured servant in the colonies. We will also have a naval battle on Friday, evening cannon demo on Friday night, Land/Sea battle on Saturday and Sunday. Pirates win on Saturday, but Redcoats win on Sunday IF there are enough to make it look good. (Looking for more brits... We NEEEEEEED you!! It's rather silly for the pirates to have no one to fight! And you get to harrass the pirates! What fun!) IF YOU HAVE A CANNON AND CREW: We will be providing a small amount of black powder to registered cannon crews, so be sure to let me know if you plan on being part of the battery. (I need to know how much powder to buy!) I think that's everything... Be sure to let me know if you have questions... And REGISTER!!! Space is filling fast! Cap't.
