LadyBarbossa Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Oh, bloody hell that looks like fun! Missed out on KC with their pirate fest. Hmmm.. maybe this will make for a grand time to invade my dad's home, stay with him a bit & invade the AZRF! :) Hmm.. just a thought at the moment. But, highly unlikely. I've other places to go this summer. Patriotism calls. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Rumba Rue Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Unfortunately my dear friend I cannot make it this year as my funds are pretty much depleated.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Sad to hear that. You can stay at my place if you want. I don't live that close to the festival (about 1 hour away). Like Temecula to San Diego. I should also warn you, I have three little monsters (I mean pirates) who can be quite boistorous, but we'll be gone to festival. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.

AdderBlack Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Aye, I'd like to hit up the AZ faire that weekend. Are there any cheap hotels in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hearted Pearl Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Gold Canyon be the closest hotel, but it not be inexpensive. Your inexpensive hotels be in Apache Junction and Mesa. Look for the usual ports of Motel 6 and Best Western. Here be the link to the accommodations page from the AZ ren faire site.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Well, me mates, it appears that we must mutiny and take over the Pirate Days at AZ Ren Faire. The government of the Faire has informed me that only if they have "minimum of 12-15" adult participants will they have a adult competition for best pirate. The kiddies competition is scheduled for 2pm at the Teatro de la Rosa stage regardless of the number of participants. Last year, very few people knew about the contest, which is probably why I won....very little competition. The Faire did a very poor job of getting the word out. Once again, the Faire appears to be falling short on getting their act together. Mates, if the powers that be determine there will be no adult competition, I will lead a mutiny and we shall take over the stage and have our own adult competition. I am willing to donate prizes and we shall use the audience of kiddie pirates for the judges. Who is with me on this? Say Huzzah! ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.

Jack2 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Aye, I'd like to hit up the AZ faire that weekend. Are there any cheap hotels in the area? There are inexpensive hotels in Mesa at Route 60 and Power Rd plus Gilbert Rd and Route 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Avast me mates, I decided on another tactic to deal with such unruly royals. As I am privateer first and then a pirate, I intend to beat them at their own game. Crew, we will recruit as many pirates as we can whilst walking the faire to enter said contest. Therefore, they must be prepared to surrender the booty. Huzzah! ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 Well, me mates, we scared them into the holdin the contest by following the sage advice of non-violent civil disobedience. We stood outside the gates by said sign up sheet and made everyone in costume sign up. We had the contest. Here by a picture of the winners. One be Jack2 and the other be another Jack. The third fellow be Pirate Wesley. The jolly fellow be the mayor. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
