Scarlett Rackham Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I thought that some of you may be interested in this so try and keep the date open. Date Posted: 08:47:47 01/17/04 Sat Author: Elena, in Producer Mode: dina_elena_shanti@yahoo.com Subject: Calling All Pirates Ahoy Rennies! As you have heard, Pastimes is indeed putting on a pirate faire, and as a co-producer I would like to get the ball rolling (or the ship sailing, as it were) and find out who is available to officially be on board. Remember, Sept 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! Right now I am getting a list together of Merchants, Variety Acts, and Conscripted Seamen... er... Volunteers. Merchants and Variety don't have to be *specifically only* pirate-oriented, just willing and able to adjust what you do or sell to fit the New World seaport of Salem MA. Mid-eighteenth-century is a good reference point, if yer wonderin' where to begin... think sea chanties and jig dances and merchandise from the Indies. Volunteers will be needed for site-related duties to be named later, once you sign on the dotted line and we get the irons clapped on ye. If you have yer own garb and are willing to do things like sell tickets and park cars, then give me a holler! Well that's all for now... any questions?

darkthing Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 And what would the date be that we'd be tryin' to keep open? It wasn't too clear to me rum-addled brain. Are they saying Sept. 19, 2004, in Salem, MA? I voyage back to Massachusetts every year to visit me ol' home port, but I usually go in August.
