Kenneth Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Will all the lads be attending...Would you mind if I squat in with you? "Without caffine, I'd have no personality at all"
Graydog Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Will all the lads be attending...Would you mind if I squat in with you? Yes, we plan on having all the lads there. You are very welcome to visit with us at the sea end of the concrete pier. While we will be there both days, as a group we are not camping at this event and nobody can remain overnight on the pier itself. I know you have a long drive. Camping on the beach is being run by the Port Royal Privateers and their POC is Craig McNeil. They are putting a lot of effort into this event and it looks like they will have a mighty fine site. I can put you in contact with him if you'd like to see if its possible to camp on the beach? Edited June 3, 2009 by Graydog Why am I sharing my opinion?

Iron Bess Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Ooohh.... we are going to have a FINE time this year! A sizable Pirate encampment on the South side of the Pier right on the sands...period tents galore. Lots of Music, fun for the kids, balloon swords, knot tying, games of Liars dice and lots more skullduggery as well. here we were last year... If you find yer self in Port, stop by and see us on the beach under all that canvas and look for the Pirate Bands playing on the Pier itself during the day. (I, m'self, will be in amongst a couple of them playing me little heart out) Aye Greydog, a good time fer all! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Jamaica Rose Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Michael and I missed out on last year's Pier Daze (we were voyaging up in the Pacific NW at the time, visiting the Rusty Scupper's Festival instead). But we will be in attendance this year, with our No Quarter Given booth. We look forward to making up for missing out last year, and enjoying lots of music, and piratey entertainment. After hours, we'll be camping on the beach with our mates the Port Royal Privateers. Hope to see lots of you there. The PyRats, Bart and Hank, will be with us too. --Jamaica Rose --Jamaica Rose Editor of No Quarter Given - since 1993 http://www.noquartergiven.net/ "Bringing a little pirate history into everyone's life" Find No Quarter Given ... on Facebook: facebook.com/noquartergiven ... and on Twitter: @NoQuarterGiven
Black Hearted Pearl Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Alas I wish I could attend, but I will be channeling my alter-ego "Black Hearted Pearl of 1874" at a SASS event. Iron Bess & Jamaica Rose, please say "Ahoy" to everyone for me and I'll see you at OFMD. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Iron Bess Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Bump... BTW mates.... The Learning Channel is coming out to spend time with us in the Port Royal Privateer encampment on the beach Saturday afternoon. We are just South of the pier. Hope to see as many of you as can come! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
