michaelsbagley Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 ok...things are falling...close enough for me to swing by....send me the adress wher to meet ifn ya please We will be meeting at.... Catawba Inn Pub - 0.24 miles away 4112 N Crogan St, Port Clinton, OH 43452 US Website (419) 797-2501 It looks to be a handful of blocks away from the parking area on the mainland. We can meet there between 6:30 and 7:00 PM this evening, load everyones gear into the two vehicles and boats, and then hop on the ferry. I'll try and call you in a short bit and leave you a message as well. Oh, we will have access to showers and flushing bathrooms all weekend, and they even have backup shelter for us in case of rain. The backup shelter may be camping on someone's floor, but they have it taken care of for those who don;t want to brave rain in their tents. Glad to hear you can make it, when you said that there was a chance you couldn't come, I was pretty bummed and hoping things would work out for you M.A. d'Dogge. See you tonight.

Mission Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 You will find my photos here: http://picasaweb.google.com/MarkCKSuccess/PutInBay10?authkey=Gv1sRgCMTpo_m014ylzAE# I look forward to seeing the other photos so I can get the SJ put together quickly. (With any luck, before I leave a week from Thursday. Otherwise I'll forget half the stuff.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Capt. Sterling Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Good photos Mission... did Maddogge actually do Living History demos??? "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/
Mission Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I was actually very impressed with his presentations. I witnessed him doing several on weapons and fighting. He'd start, because everyone was interested in the weapons, and then he'd hand them off to me. Very slick. Kudos to M.A. d'Dogge on that front. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I.

William Brand Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Fantastic pictures! It looks like a good time was had by all.
Kate Souris Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Good photos Mission... did Maddogge actually do Living History demos??? He did indeed. Everyone was always doing something that was interesting to the people coming by. It was really awesome. :)
MarkG Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Good photos Mission... did Maddogge actually do Living History demos??? He did indeed. Everyone was always doing something that was interesting to the people coming by. It was really awesome. :) The organizers, including the Mayor, were really happy with the displays. Several people mentioned us to them. They want us back next year... in greater numbers. Mark

Capt. Sterling Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Oi how far does the ferry actually travel? A mile, two, or more?

Mission Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 Gee, I'll have to find a way to get more of my stuff out there. I chose all the shiny, repro stuff because I figured it would be a party crowd that wouldn't know the difference. Some of the most unexpected people knew what all of my stuff was for...many because of the History Channel! (Others were nurses, although I had some stuff they were not familiar with.) One guy even knew the about the dental pelican! (I had never heard of one until I read a book on the history of medical tools.) I thought it was a very nice balance from a presentation POV. It was not a production line of people trooping through so that got sick of it or felt guilty taking a break and wandering off to see other people but also not an event where you carefully set your stuff out only to do two or three presentations. This is exactly the sort of thing I think would play well at the Santa Maria event, maybe on the lawn or if the tour guides would let us - on the ship. I saw many of our group doing formal and informal presentations at this event - it was very cool. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

michaelsbagley Posted June 29, 2010 Author Posted June 29, 2010 Oi how far does the ferry actually travel? A mile, two, or more? I think I heard that the island is three miles off the coast. I would have to double check a map to ensure that number is accurate. The other thing is, the main downtown of the island is a couple of miles from where the slow ferry docks (which is actually quite fast), there is an express ferry (that costs a fair bit more and runs later) that docks right in the downtown core (more or less). I will be the main contact person for the re-enactors for next year as well. Although it will be a pretty relaxed endeavour again. Just more time for planning as there will not be as much "0n-again, off-again" circumstances next year as there was this year.
michaelsbagley Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 Now that my brain has settled and I can think clearly again... I just want to say "Thank You!!!!" to all those who came out last weekend. This was a pretty last minute deal that we all came together for, and did a spectacular job of. Sure there were a few bumps along the road (none so bold as the heavy handed jerk demanding all the re-enactors being on time, being late himself ) but outside a few stressful moments, even that was barely a blip on the radar of having a great time and doing a wonderful job! I'm proud and happy at how great the folks who came out for this one made of the weekend. I think it is a testament that in the costume contest, of the 32 contestants of mixed styles of clothing/costumes, which boiled down to 8 finalists, over half of which were with the re-enactors, and of course the winner being M.A. d'Dogge. A lot of ideas for improvement have been mentioned, and will be discussed for next year. But despite all the good ideas for making it better, the ideas for improvement are secondary to the excellent feedback the festival organizers gave us and the good reception we got from the spectators. All of those who came out were awesome! I can't thank you all enough for pulling together on this one and making it the awesome time we all had!
