Beowoulf Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Anyone know of good festivals to go to in the northeast (like ... draw a line from the western NY border straight down to the Atlantic, more or less). I have found a few that offer the likes of "cardboard boat races for the kiddies" and "face painting" and "fun with balloons," but I am afraid that FTPI has ruined anything like THAT for me! LOLOL If you know of a good one (or two .. or ten) and you are (might be) GOING, all the better! Would be nice to hook up with "old" friends again. I'm not asking for stuff even *I* could just find by chance with Google. I am referring to ones that you KNOW are worthy of a FTPI veteran! ;-) BTW, my HAT came in! WHAT A NICE HAT!!!! :) :) :)

Silkie McDonough Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Cross, look at a map of the US. Now draw a line from the western border of the state of New York straight to the Atlantic ocean. None of those events are north east of that line.
Silkie McDonough Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I am assuming that he means horizontal line.
Dutchman Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 and he's a ships captain........... btw, hampton blackbeard is back to june this year.
sutlerjon Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Yes, he's a Cap'n ..... but then don't Cap'ns have NAVIGATORS to rely on. ;) but do we really expect him to draw a straight line? As for Beowoulf's line across the Nor'east how many pirates ya gonna find in New Hampshire & Vermont ? yes I know there's also Masssachusetttes and Maine and a couple others, that just wouldn't be as humorous ....

Silkie McDonough Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 A VERTICAL line from the WESTERN border of NY meets the ATLANTIC coast in South Carolin. There are plenty of places that far south. lol In fact, depending on the map that lind COULD make it all the way to Florida. hehe Beowoulf, in case you didn't notice, you have to be specific with this crowd.
Bos'n Cross Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 id like to point out that i indeed DID HAVE IT RIGHT.....he said vertical line from western new york till you hit the atlantic...so that goes down to almost SC so HA!........i didnt take chart plotting for nothing................. -Israel Cross- - Boatswain of the Archangel - .

michaelsbagley Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Put-In-Bay (just off the southern coast of Lake Erie) in late June would be the closest I could think of for you... And that would be about a 9 to 10 drive for you, if my estimation is correct. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a lot of pirate re-enacting around Lake Ontario or up or down the St. Laurence. There is (was?) a group in or around Rhode Island area that may have something(s) planned, but I'm not sure if that would be close enough for you or not. (I've not done any traveling in the New England states, so my sense of distance out that way is bad). If I recall correctly, there is a pretty decent pirate event for the more re-enactorly bent in Newfoundland (or was it New Brunswick or Nova Scotia?) I'll try and look up the info on that one and post it for you.... It may have been a one time only event, but if my memory is working, I got the impression it was going to be an annual thing.
Gunpowder Gertie Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I know Old Fort York in Toronto had a pirate event..last year? year before. ..but I haven't been to it, nor do I know anyone who has. I'll do some research for you, and see if it is something that might be worth your while, ol' PiP veteran, you!
MarkG Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 A VERTICAL LINE, DAMN YOU ALL!!! So! New York, Mass, CT, RI, Ontario, Maine, part of MD.. I'll talk to Crudbeard .. he tends to manage the NorthEast What is it about people in the coastal states that they can't go west? Sometimes I think that there is some sort of space warp - the east coast is closer to Ohio than Ohio is to the east coast.
michaelsbagley Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Gertie, the pirate festival at Fort York in Toronto collapsed (sort of) some years ago. It was moved to the site of what used to be the original Ontario Rennaisance Festival in Milton Ontario... im not sure if it gas done well or not or survived there
Capt. Sterling Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 well...as for upcomming event in the atlantic area.....April Fells Point Privateer Fest. in Baltimore ,Maryland..... then in July....... in Hampton, Virginia (right up the road for me) is the Hampton Blackbeard festival ....august in N.

I'll talk to Crudbeard .. he tends to manage the NorthEast What is it about people in the coastal states that they can't go west? Sometimes I think that there is some sort of space warp - the east coast is closer to Ohio than Ohio is to the east coast. I can speak only for myself. Leaving the coast means traveling to areas above sea level. This will not do. After a certain point in time ones circulatory system becomes in sync with the tides or something. I believe that CT,RI and MA are perpendicular to that vertical line.
Bos'n Cross Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 i agree with the sea level theory....makes good sense!....sorry cap lolol ....... -Israel Cross- - Boatswain of the Archangel - . Colonial Seaport Foundation Crew of the Archangel

Gunpowder Gertie Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Aye Hook! I've seen that place as well- yet there doesn't seem t' be a lot of info out there about it, beyond the website I mean. Has anyone here been there, or know someone who has?
