TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Ahoy Ace- do you have something you can juggle in the parade (other than your schedule, LOL) that isn't sharp or on fire? -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace of Harbor Bay Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Ahoy Ace- do you have something you can juggle in the parade (other than your schedule, LOL) that isn't sharp or on fire? I've been thinking on that I have standard juggling clubs i can bring, but they're not very theme at all and quite boring to watch I'm thinking of bringing my spinning bowl and stuff and doing some balancing of stuff on my face along the way maybe www.pirate4hire.com Pirates of Harbor Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redd Oktober Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 It won't be in time for the 4th...but if yer interested, mate, I was thinking of figgerin' a way of making "hand grenades" (like those used by the pirate on Barbossa's crew with the smoking beard in POTC). We could cast them out of resin...paint em...and prep them to take slow fuses or cannon fuses. They just won't explode. YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 This particular parade does not allow any pyrotechnics. Because of the huge liability of the fireworks barge, they have to be overly cautious in other areas. No swords out in the parade, nothing on fire, nothing handed out to the crowds. Even Ace can't juggle knives. Some do allow pyrotechnics, some do not. Sparklers would do the trick or something similar for grenadoes another parade -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace of Harbor Bay Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I like the way ye think thar Redd! Even though we can't get away with it this time. We've GOT ta get ye juggling mate! there's tons of great bits we could do if'n ye could juggle a bit.

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 LOL I can just see the two of you pretending to be terrified of a sizzling grenadoe and tossing it back and forth like a hot potato!!!

Redd Oktober Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Well...like I've said, I can do a basic ball juggle...clubs, knives etc. I would love to learn! Just got to get my hands on some practice clubs somewheres. A sizzling grenade routine would be hilarious. End it with a drench from a bucket just after the last pirate who has it figures out that he can just remove the darned fuse. *fiss!* *GOOOSH!* *drip...drip....drip* YARRR! The Oktober be silent now!

Desert Pyrate Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Oh, the grenadoe would be awesome! Whilst at Redd's office today, just before I got the frock out of there , it occured to me that if ye fellow brethren are devoid o' activities on the night o' the 3rd, ye might enjoy the Liberty Ball in San Mateo. Pirate costumes would work time-wise, and it'll be loads o' fun. From their website: Dance to the most glorious dance tunes of 1776 played by the Bay Area's premiere country dance band, Bangers & Mash, with dances ranging from dashing English and American country dances to elegant Cotillions and some slightly anachronistic but gorgeous late 18th century waltzes (As usual, all set and country dances will be taught or called). For those of you wishing to learn or brush up on your 18th century country dancing, there will be a pre-ball dance class at 7:00 p.m. - highly recommended for those new to this dance form. Suggested costume is mid to late 18th century American, English, or French costume (any class! This is a democratic assembly!). Red, white and blue trim will be admired, not required. This is definitely a photo-op event since some of the most gorgeous historical costumes seen outside a Merchant Ivory film are likely to be seen at the ball. For those not equipped with 18th century costume, your Ren Faire garb (especially peasant and middle class) has the right silhouette, and Regency costume or modern evening dress is also perfectly acceptable. At intermission there will be 18th century dance demos and some open dancing for the die-hard dancers. In keeping with the festive nature of the event, we will also have a no host (cash) bar and a light snack buffet. It's $20 at the door. A bit pricey, but totally worth it. These things are loads o' fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Pyrate Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Oh, and since we're talking San Mateo and Redwood City (13 minutes apart), we thought we'd stop by for a few minutes after the ball. It'd be about midnight. Will the dock be open just to show my guest the Mighty RR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I can do that!! DP, they are expecting a royal mob scene down there. Roads in are being closed when parking is exhausted, generally at 7pm. Unless you come before about 5pm, there won't be any getting out until the crowds disperse after the fireworks. So be sure to stop by during the daytime! -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
