michaelsbagley Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Okay wow... I guess this is about a month away. As for the younger attendees... There are a few others coming that I know of, so this has been on the top of my mind for some time. I will be speaking to the bar owner in the near future, and will ask this question. I have also been trying to come up with an alternate option for the younger attendees should the bar not be able to accommodate. (If anyone has a suggestion here, I would love to hear it). Tartan Jack, for this one, travel light, sleeping gear and clothes and weapons. What you need, and little to nothing more, space is at a premium on the ship. The meals are pot-luck/pitch in, so anything you can contribute would be helpful. Both drinking water and ice need to be hauled in with us, as downtown Columbus is more corporate offices than anything, so retail stores require a short drive, or a 10+ minute walk. Last time the food was very not organized, and it worked out perfectly. I do not think anyone was in want of anything to eat at any point. However, if there was an area I think we could have improved on, was fruit and or vegetables or fruit or vegetable based dishes. Connie, the firebox is limited in size, but I think I can safely speak for everyone when I say make us your guinea pigs! PLEASE!!! And I for one am not sick of monster cookies yet... If Diosa is coming, I am sure she can be convinced to make jerk chicken, otherwise I can try and fill in and try to do a second rate job if it. I think that covers things so far... Let me know if I missed anything, or if you think of any more questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If anyone has a suggestion here, I would love to hear it). if the laws are like missouri, a bar/restaraunt can have minors... and very few places don't serve food along with the alchohol... .

However, if there was an area I think we could have improved on, was fruit and or vegetables or fruit or vegetable based dishes. yeah... nobody went hungry... if they did, it wasn't due to lack of food, or snacks... a veggie tray ??

Let me know if I missed anything, or if you think of any more questions. To expand on what Micky already said - there is no place to store sleeping bags and such during the day except in your car. At night we all share the decks. There is only one cabin and the hold is full of cement block ballast so most people sleep on the main deck. People are welcome to bring items to display to the public. If you do bring something, be prepared to answer questions during tours. As always, if you are asked something specific about the ship. either defer to a guide or refer people to me. It would be nice to have a better idea ahead of time who is bringing what food and what will need to be cooked. We can use the firebox which has enough room for two pots. I have a brazier that we can use if we need more fire than that. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael Misson Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yeah, I figure to be there, barring all outside difficulties.

michaelsbagley Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Well as this event is only about 3 weeks off, I guess it is time to start asking who is coming? Please either give a shout out in this thread, or private message or email me. Just as a reminder, this event is open to all, but because we want to be prepared for all participants (whether you are camping on the ship or not) we do kind of need to know if you are coming, probably coming, or even possibly coming. I've got a running list of those coming that are not on the pub, but I wanted to get on here, as the pub is usually where the most participants come from. Also, we are going to be running the auction again on eBay to help benefit the ship. If you have something you are able and willing to donate to the cause, we'd greatly appreciate it! We already have a pretty decent group of donated item, but the more the merrier! Thanks again to all those who have donated or pledged a donation, and a special thanks to those who bid last time, and are planning to bid again this time! Again, Here is a link to the event web site for ease of reference, if there is any information that you need that isn't there, speak up and I am sure either Mark, Jennie, Kate or myself will be quick on the response.

Raphael Misson Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'll be there. Where exactly is there?

michaelsbagley Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'll be there. Where exactly is there? Are we meeting at the ship Friday night this time? There is nothing "official" going on Friday night, but we do have the ship Friday night mostly for the benefit of those coming from further abroad. This will give those traveling the option of arriving Friday night, and be well rested for Saturday.... Or at least give them the option of being present early and not exhausted from a long drive Very early Saturday morning. However un-officially, since we do have the ship... We can gather on it Friday evening for some socialization or what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Kate!!!

I'll verify that this is still going on and what time. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The woman who is being married on the Santa Maria on the 19th would like a few (up to four) pirates to try to kidnap her and be driven off by her husband. Do I have any volunteers? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkG Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 More information - the wedding rehearsal and dinner are on the ship Friday from 7-9. We can probably start hanging around the ship by 8:30. I can see about having the barge open for us until we can get onto the ship. This time we are planning on taking the ship. That means that at least a couple of pirates will need to climb onto the ship from my boat. We will have a rope ladder for this. Volunteers?

Raphael Misson Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'd like to try climbing a rope ladder if someone photographs it.

Kate Souris Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Misson darling....you'll need antibiotics for six months at least.... Kidding. Well....I can't honestly tell you how bad it is. It looks pretty scudgy. Mark would know better. And you know that I will photograph it if you climb that ladder. That's what I do....I shoot....with a Nikon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do....I shoot....with a Nikon. :) I woudn't go swimming in it but it is pretty clean unless it rained recently and caused the local sewage systems to overflow. It gives you incentive to hold onto the ladder tight. Mission is turning into quite a pirate. First he started hostilities at Paynetown, now he's volunteering to be part of the boarding party.
