Recommended Posts

Since I dont' recall what a "rope walk" if I ever knew what it was but I thought perhaps it could involve falling and cement hurts when falling. lol

DUH! ....making rope! ...Sometimers setting in!

Captain Sterling,

As to contacting the "email the leaders of the various encampments listed in being in attendance to see what they're interested in doing". You could check out the PiP 2010 Role Call thread and contact those people. I guess they don't come to the pub often enough to see this thread before say, August.

The idea behind this thread was to get a rough idea of who wanted to do what as far as the required living history demonstrations go. As these demonstrations will be on going through out the entire weekend except for breaks and the battles, there is plenty for everyone to take part in. For example, no one crew need only handle one specific demo such as only the Mercury crew doing weapons. Various members from any of the crews can take turns doing each demo or come up with something that so far hasn't even been listed which pertains to pyracy and maritime life. If, for example, someone from the Mercury wishes to do weapons and someone from the buccaneer camp wishes to do weapons, they can take turns and give each other breaks, or they can work together and only do weapons at certain hours which we could easily put on the schedule.

There are no rules set in stone right now. There is no schedule as of yet, we were just looking to see who would be interested in doing what so we can come up with a schedule. As most of the crewe leaders for the GAoP and the buccaneer crews and even one of the 1800s crews is already on the pub, they know where to look. Any crews that aren't on the pub and are attending, Fayma will take care of.

If we go...the hubby and I, we will be a drumming, hopefully with the other musicians that show up and for all the pirates, lords & ladies. But our appearance depends upon if we will be able to camp outside of the Fort, since all we haves of right now is a modern tent.

If you would like to be part of the musical entertainment at the fort, please pm Fayma directly.

Still talking with Master Killingsworth to see if he's willing to show up and help Lilly McKinney with the history of English/American theater too.

Splendid, my sweet dear flower.

As I see by the good Captain's list, Nick and Finn be there; as I will be happy to help out.

It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul.

Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars, it is the cause.

Finn will be presenting maritime/pyracy related demos as is required by the fort staff. Nick will only be seen during the battles and possibly Crime and Punishment. I shall be happy to add you as an after hours special presentation.

Fionn would, as always, prefer to spend his time out of sight and out of mind but he also knows that if an officer gives a command he had best obey. Since he was first conceived he has nere been able to keep himself out of trouble. Polishing all the cannons on the ship has not yet taught him his lesson. I believe he has been the ships lier for 6 weeks at last count. But this is not a discussion for a public forum. If the Captain wishes him to remain on the ship I am sure he would be happy to do so. THAT is between Fionn & the ships officers.

I very much want to have learned the knowledge needed to discuss the role of the ordinary & the propriter of said extablishments at the time. Much to learn!

Nick also, would prefer to stay out of sight and mind. But the roar of the great guns is much too exciting for him to stay away from. Unfortunately, gambling is also something he can't seem to stay away from. Too bad he keeps getting caught,

If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin!

By all means Dutch, they loved helping with the parceling last weekend and Josh was mighty proud that the end results went to actually be used on the Explorer.

The East Coast Privateers will be doing presentation on the evolution of small arm and cannon. We shall also have short readings from historical documents and books on Pirate Life and of course Pirate trials.

No one has heard of me because I never left any witnesses.

Oh, Sterling....do you not wish to join in the merriment? I am certain that your dull witt and sharp tongue would be a great asset to the amusement...we've seen you in good sport in year's past. therefore, we are sure that with a little help of the 'green fairy' from Maddogge's private stock...you will in rare form.

I emailed Ms. Callahan over a week ago and have not heard back. I suspect with all the activity on this forum, her 'inbox' is quite full. We look forward to attending, in any capacity we can assist.

If we go...the hubby and I, we will be a drumming, hopefully with the other musicians that show up and for all the pirates, lords & ladies. But our appearance depends upon if we will be able to camp outside of the Fort, since all we haves of right now is a modern tent.

Blackhearted Pearl, if you have certain demos you would like to do down at PiP, feel free to list them here, they will be noted when the schedule is made.

Hell no Reg. Yer on yer own, I am blessed with the fact that I won't actually have time fer ye or that actress of yers. I have far more important matters to attend to, even if it is only getting drunk. Now back to the business for which this thread was created. We are running out of time and it would be most appreciated if this thread staid on track. Thank ye all.
