TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Saturday afternoon, March 13th, Tales of the Seven Seas was in the Dublin St Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin CA. We were joined by the Crew of the Dirty Rotten Oar and totaled about 30 pirates at this event. I'm told by Cracked Carrie, who recorded the telecast that we had very good TV coverage and she' already dropped a CD in the mail to me of the live telecast. We had the Land Shark, our pirate ship parade float out for the parade. It was almost as much fun getting the Land Shark to the parade as it was being in it! We had just about every carload of people turning to stare at the sight of a pirate ship going down the freeway! One busload full of kids was really fun to see- Every kid was turned around backwards staring at the pirate ship! We had some technical difficulites with the electrical system on the float which we should have ironed out for the next parade, but we managed to overcome them. We had POTC playing on the stereo of the truck and simply opened up the doors. The Land Shark was still a big hit, even without the smoking cannons and lights. Afterwards I had one family come up and introduce their little girl to me. She was about 2 years old. They asked her - "Whose the greatest pirate in the whole world?" she was barely old enough to talk and answered like this- "Cap'n Jack Spa-whoh!!!" It was SO cute! They told me they've looked everywhere for a Jack Sparrow doll for her, but since they can't find one, she carries a picture of him everywhere she goes! Here are a few photos, there are many more to come! The Land Shark with the background photoshopped out so that you can see it all assembled and with the new skirting... Pirates aboard the Land Shark Jeff in the crows nest Pirates board a Coast Guard vessel!! Grace O'Malley (In the green dress) and some of her crew in the parade Dead Fred makes a new friend PIRATE GIRLS GONE WILD!!!!!

Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 An' yet again, Penny's caught bein' a ham! I have to say I love the braided pirate 'do...complete with the rags tyin' it all together. I want to make the braids smaller, but I would have to do them up the night before, and likely with a bit of help. Thinkin' of visitin' a shop before Ojai to get it done right...which would be bloody amazin'... "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because I am robbing you, tossing you overboard, and stealing your ship!" -the only thing more dangerous than her.. is her needle-
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 Lovely as usual Quill. The skirting definitely adds to the lovely Land Shark. I noticed ye be wearing that fine red pirate shirt of yours too. Tis your color. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind.

You can probably reduce the size by reducing the screen-size of the .mpg. I left it bigger than you normally do, and figured you could always resave it smaller if ye wanted to. If ye can't, let me know and I'll do it here and send another, smaller, version to ye. Glad it arrived safe an' sound!
