I thought sashes were to go around our arm, like in a band, so it is visible?

I can make our troupe sashes w/o a problem.

Now, you know Blender, sometimes I am a bit aft and hav'n to do things me own way, but on this point, I will concede and follow directions.

Might ye be hav'n a piece fer me?

This sounds like a wicked time. I'll have to scrounge around for some kinda sash in lime green?

Hmm... how's a bout a cumberbun like sash?

On second thought, I'll have enough other belts and stuff around the waist that it'll never be seen. I'll have to put it on the arm...oooh.. maybe in the hat! I wonder if'n I can find a lime green feather. That don't have no "weird" connotations doez it?

As for the encampment, I'll probably not camp, but I'd certainly crash,er.. stop bye and pillage a bit.

;)

BTW... where is a pic of that pin? The link didn't show up and I'm slowly sortin' through the galley... er.. .gallery

OK, so Gwen and I were coming down anyway. I cancelled the hotel space and booked at the campground this afternoon. In a cabin, though. We'll be getting in too late on Friday (midnight +) to worry about setting camp.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Thanks for pointin' the pin out.

Interestin' idea. Thinks I'll go pillage the craft shops tomorrow while the odd bits of cloths go roundy-round.

Lime green + spot a mile away... I thought we'z be pirates, sneakin' about and pillagin' an' plunderin' an' leave'n before anyone knows better.

Still, it may be easy to spot one another though. Not like yer flag's made of the stuff... yeesh...

Hawkins told me sis M W Cheryl about the LIME GREEN sashs last night and she said the same thing. Why LIME GREEN? So I told her "Why not?"

I'll tell ye why a lime green sash. 'Cause we all be talkin' like friggin' limeys! :blink:

I ain't a wearin' a lime green sash. It'll clash with me red sash around me waist and me red coat!

Let's just set a time t' meet at the White Hart. There be 7 pages to this thread, an' I ain't a readin' every one to see if such a time already be set. If there be, let me know. If not, say high noon?

Sorry cannot make opening day. Can only afford Pirate weekend. See you then.

That is a shame, but understandable. Me first mate is forgoing Opening Day with the kids because of tight purse strings, but will hopefully go with me another time, maybe for jousting with some friends.

See ya then! I be sportin' all black and red, and of course a lime green band!

I got me a question (actually two) about MDRF no weapons policy. Now I'm figerin' some drunken sod brandished a weapon in the early days out at Revel Grove, and this be cause for MDRF's consternation. But since the same problem be a potential for PARF, I'm wonderin' if anyone knows how PA has handled it and what the background conversations might've been within the MD camp.

More'n this, 'owever, I be a might curious 'bout somethin' I noticed last year at pirate invasion weekend, when a number of pyrates who clearly were not employed by MDRF were walkin' 'round with weapons (all suitably holstered and sheated, mind ye).

So is the no weapons policy just a wink-n-a-nod thing? Does ye pay off the wenches working the gates? Did these pyrates sneak in under the bleedin' wall?

I not be tryin' to incite a bloody insurrection, mind ye... :ph34r:

Well, on second thought... :blink:

No, seriously, I'm just bloody curious, and that be the lay of it.

Now, in speaking with Queen Maggie (former MDRF Queen) at PARF, she informed us that a nasty bloke pulled a weapon on the queen (not her but the current queen at the time), no one was hurt but that is one of the reasons for the no-weapons. Another is something about the queen's daughter being "taken", though it was a joke, but she didn't know.

I have asked your questions to a friend of mine that works the MDRF and will get back to you on what her answers be. I was wondering meself about me beautiful bodice dagger I picked up fer a few coins at PARF.

Will post when I have answers.

Hey "Gunner 1" !!!!

It was great to meet you at Pennsic, and I'm happy to hear you will be down for the weekend. Hopefully the camp ground will be dryer then the mudfest that the B Blocks and the Highlands turned into at Pennsic.

Apparently the bokers would all get rip-roarin' drunk (naturally) and decide to hold swordfights in the parking lot. The reason we can't have weapons has to do with the specific insurance company for the fair.

But sword fights in the parking lot would kill off the obnoxious drunks. And besides, I'd pay a month's wages t' see that! :blink:
