Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 I'm sick to death of the SCA and the authenticity nazis.. I am all for having a good time, and learning something historical (hysterical) in the process, but the next person that gets on me for having elastic in my cuffs is gonna get it with my cutlass!! Are there any Naurical/Maritime/PIRATE events here in Oregon? SOS!! Boredom will kill me before the barnacles do! "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 The Seattle Seafair Pirates do the Astoria Oregon Regatta Festival Parade. Perhaps you could contact them and see if they could use a pirate on their crew? Click Here for Info A group of singing pirates called "Captain Bogg and Salty" has an event going called "Festival de Piratas" at Conan's Pub at 39th and Hawthorne (they do not specify which town in OR this is in) Here is their website: Bob and Salty Info -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com

It sounds like a fun, hoist yer grog, raise yer voice, piratical good time! -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
redhand Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Hey can you really say SCA and authenticity nazis in the same sentance????? Hmmmmmm?? Redhand
Dorian Lasseter Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Surley ya can!!! SCA has Authenticity nazis... There!!! An' th' truth be known.... I find 'em offensive... 'specially when they complain 'bout what yer wearin' "isn't period" whilst they drink a cup o' SODA WITH ICE IN IT..... Ooooh, did Isay tha' out loud? Nay, I'm not bitter.... Truly, D.

Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 18, 2003 Author Posted July 18, 2003 I could get into what wackos thought it was a clever idea to break open glow sticks, pour them in their beer, DRINK IT, and start screaming when they go into the bushes to relieve themselves..... oh ho ho!!! "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 It's really too bad that one bad apple with a nasty comment can ruin things. I've had both good and bad experiences with "Rennies". One lady encouraged me to follow my "crazy idea" and start Tales of the Seven Seas. She mentored me through the early days when I was getting started and she got us off to a very strong start early on. On the other hand... one time at a renaissance symposium, I had a guy walk up to me as I was packing up my booth that had info on our pirate guild at the end of the weekend. He sneered down his nose at me and said, "You know, if your guys really met my guys, my guys would have cut your guy's heads off on the spot. So how can your people and my people attend the same events?" (translation: get lost, we don't want you) It was that guy and a few other terribly arrogant people that helped me make a couple of good decisions about what kind of pirate guild Tales of the Seven Seas was going to be- fun and flexible. We don't do any single period of history and we welcome both historically accurate pirates and 'storybook' pirates. That's something I've been very glad that I've stuck too, despite occasional pressure from people that don't quite get what we're about. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
Angus Lasseter Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 Aye Lassie, Yer right, only takes one bad apple ta ruin a goode tyme... I look at it this away... tha' one bad apple, bullocks to 'em! Have a goode tyme! Iffn' they donna like it, poor them... As fer the bloke who in so many word told ya tha' yer group ta get lost, we donna want ye... Bulocks ta 'im an' 'is group!!!! If twas I who he said tha' to I'd be havin' speaks wi' the site manager 'bout 'is nastiness... 'cos in this day n age ye can't just shoot 'em :) More's th' pity... A. Lasseter Wot's ya mean I's gotta check me Pistols n' Cutlass at th' door?!?
TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Agreed! I didn't let it ruin the weekend, I ended up making some good contacts. Honestly, it was very sad to listen to all the griping, negativity, political intrigue and catty-ness. At one point, the girl in the next booth leaned over to me and said. "You know, the more I listen to this, the better a pirate guild is starting to sound!!" I knew then and there that keeping it fun and light-hearted was going to be the name of the game for us. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com
captweaver65 Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Are there any Naurical/Maritime/PIRATE events here in Oregon? there used to be an unofficial sca pirate/rogues event called 'the gathering' it was started as a protest against all the rules nazis and camping restrictions. it was held the weekend of egil's(end of may),but I couldn't find any listings or contacts anywhere about it this year. from what I hear,An tir is the best place to be for easy going people-I've had people say they where actually asked to leave because they wern't exactly period (tennis shoes!).yes I know that it is a historical group,but really-we're all here to have fun not control everyone to the point being miserable I will see one of the gathering's organizers in november and get any info I can on next year's event or get contact info to help organize one if it is not being held. Capt Weaver "No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company. " Dr. Samuel Johnson Capt Weaver's Pirate Perversions
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 21, 2003 Author Posted July 21, 2003 Ay.. the gathering actually happened.. I missed it, woops! The best piratical even I can mention, (and any of you West Coast swabbies might think to make a showing, it's worth it) is the upcoming "Gypsy Days and Sea Dog Nights" and it is not actually officially SCA sanctioned, just started up by the local rabble. Turns out we're going, after all, and it promises to be really fun! http://damondesign.com/seadognights/index.html here's the website.. maybe we'll see you there, and combine forces, no? "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
redhand Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 Hey, anybody goin' to this Sea Dogs/Gypsy Nights event? It's just a couple minutes away from me, so I might run out for the day. Maybe we could all meet and say "allo" Redhand
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 21, 2003 Author Posted July 21, 2003 Tell ya what, I'm hard to miss... I plan to be wearing a skirt of wild, metallic colors, a bright blue shirt, and a long black vest.. accompanied by an extremely tall fellow in a kilt, with two beautiful little blonde pirate girls. I am very friendly, and if any of you find me.. do approach and chat with me!! :) "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 23, 2003 Author Posted July 23, 2003 Ahhh.. who is coming to Sea Dog Nights?? I would love to see anybody that will be there.. who shall I be lookin' for???? Please email me!!! Autumn_Staley@hotmail.com "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
CaptKoraRoberts Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 This Sea Dawgs and Gypsy thing..... Where exactly is it? I couldn't figure that out when I went to the website. Also... It's SCA, but it's not? I'm confused. Help explain, please... I mean... Arrrgh! Captain Kora Roberts
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 24, 2003 Author Posted July 24, 2003 No worries, mate.. most times the SCA doesn't know whetehr or not it's SCA... it's down by the Lebanon exit, and then over a bit.. did you check the mapquest part? Hope to see you there! "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
redhand Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 Lebanon? Really to me it sounded more like it was in Marcola/Mohawk which is just a few miles east of Springfield, lest I read my directions wrong. I know they gave two sets of directions, but it sounded like it was closer to the Marcola/Mohawk area outside of Springfield. If so, i'd stay on 5 and take the springfield exit, which'd be faster if yer askin me (I live outside of Eugene) On another note..Anybody know what they plan on offering as far as activities, demos, or what have you, besides "Best Pirate Flag"? after all they want $10 bucks just to walk in the gate . Cheers! Redhand
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 24, 2003 Author Posted July 24, 2003 WEll, Lebanon was what my friend told me... you are right about the Springfield thing! Contests!! GALORE! Looks to be a bunch of fencing contests, "Best dressed Pirate" "Best flag" "Most flags" "Best witty repartee" "Best death" "Best pirate song" Treasure hunt (one for the kids, too!) darts, tablero (probably another tournament, if I could afford to enter, I would!!) boffer wars, roving bard contest, "Best Swashbuckling".. hell, I myself will be givin' out smooches to anyone that impresses me! Come on down!!! "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
redhand Posted July 25, 2003 Posted July 25, 2003 Well I'll probably come check it out, and I may be in the company of a couple of other scurvy dogs. Redhand
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 25, 2003 Author Posted July 25, 2003 The more the merrier!! Look me up! I'm hard to miss! I"ll be flyin' a big ol' Jolly Roger.. but then, who won't be? "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
Splinter Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Argh, Lads and Lasses. The crew of the stout ship "Rose", gentlemen and ladies of fortune all, will be sailin' into the Washington Renaissance and Fantasy Faire for the next 3 weekends in Gig Harbor, WA. The sweet trade is gatherin' a full sail lately, and we have been at several events this summer already... email portlandpyrate@hotmail.com or see our listing in NQG's "Crews Ta Sign On With".
the Royaliste Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Would that be the H.M.S. Rose, from me old stompin' grounds, Canada??
Mad Maudlin McCrumb Posted July 30, 2003 Author Posted July 30, 2003 I did email PortlandPyrate@hotmail.com... and never got a reply! Did y'all get it, or wuz my mail service being stoopid agin??? I can't resist a pirate Co. that's just out in Gresham!!! "You have a woman's skin, m'lord! I'll wager that hides never been rubbed with salt and flayed off to make stockin's for a pirates best cabin boy!"
Splinter Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Argh,. Lads. I did not receive any type of mails from ye. Send up yer signal flags again, and I will endeavor to read 'em through the fog. As fer the Canadian reference, nay, we be not any Royal ship o' the line, but a crew of "pre-emptive salvage specialists" sailing of our own account against all flags... arrrgh.
