Four hour ride one way with a 4 yr old.......stay for a little bit....and another 4 hour ride back (he may sleep for a bit)....not too good.

Ok then. . .

Well I mean 4 hours one way is, um, 4 hours one way and a good enough excuse for me, ouch.

Just had a conversation with John Glass, who coordinates the renactors for Hampton. If we're willing to be townsfolk for the festival and fill in the pyrate camp, he's reserving us 11 spots in the period dinner sat night aboard the Kalamar Nyckel . Its period, so its garb only, and ye'll have to bring yr own trencher and utensils (no plastic plates).

To answer a question: There are no peace tie regulations, etc. They do, however, want all steel to be in sheath or scabbard, and firelocks that are to be discharged (there's a point at which the pirate camp unloads on a british longboat) must be inspected and tagged prior to this (to keep things from going boom in a bad way).

Duncan and I are likely to be in the performance, with duncan doin the bailiff and me understudying Capt Brand.

This is gonna be a hoot! Anybody going down got a waistcoate we can borrow? Most of our stuff is slightlly early fer this period.

Z :)

PS can we do a reiteration of who all is goin down and would be interested in participatin and doin the dinner on the Kalamar Nyckel. I know this is rudundant with some of you on here that are already set to participate. What I mostly need to know is who is headed down that they DON'T already know about.

Z :huh:B):lol:

Zorg,

I will definitely be there Saturday. My initial plans were to only stay the day. But it looks like I've found a way to get home after Sunday’s event ends, assuming that I've got some place to flop for the night. I would love to stay and help out in anyway that is needed. . . Please let me know.

I'm not a reenactor this year and don't have period utinsils. Vidonia deRamalho will be at the festival (she's a pirate from Tales/Pan Historia) and neither does she have the required items.

So don't count us in for the dinner on the Nickel.

Actually period dinnerware is pretty easy to come up with. I hit the goodwill yesterday and got two wooden plates and some silverware for $3.
