TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Tales of the Seven Seas will be working in conjunction with Sail San Francisco, to welcome the tall ship "The Californian" to Oakland CA at Jack London Square on Sept 6th and 7th. We are always happy to have pirates join us! Either individuals or entire guilds. The more the merrier!! Our pirates are scheduled to be on the pier, meeting and greeting visitors, bringing passersby to the ship, providing basic information on the ship, passing out treasure coins to the kids and entertaining crowds with random acts of mayhem and senseless acts of piracy! Piratical acts might include: Being accused of notorious and heinous crimes then locked in our new jail cell! Running across the pier with a feisty wench flung over your shoulder! Drenching or being drenched with a bucket of water! Being chased by pirates! Firing a flintlock! (approval pending on this one) Acting out a dramatic death scene with a sword under your arm! Stumbling about drunkenly with a whisky keg under one arm and a tankard in your hand! Or simply provide piratical color by being there in costume. If you would like to attend one or both days, please respond, so that I'll know how many pirates we'll have on hand. As always, loaner costumes and props are available if you need them. Come join us for fun and piracy and take walk around the decks of this beautirul ship!! Info on the Californian Please email me with any questions talesofthesevenseas@hotmail.com -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...

Rumba Rue Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I've sailed on the Californian several times during the Tall Ships Festival in Dana Point, CA. Nice ship, nice crew. Hmmmm, 6 & 7th? Guess they won't be at the festival this year, cuz that's the Tall Ship Festival dates for here. Oh well, there's plenty more to plunder.

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 Wildhaired wench... The sea battle was Aug 29th. (see the photos under the "Sail Ho!" topic. ) Or are you saying you'd like to join us for the Jack London Square event on Sept 6 & 7? If so, please email me immediately at talesofthesevenseas@hotmail.com so I can get the necessary info to you so that you and the kids can participate. How old are your kids? We love having kids at our guild events, but due to live weaponry, slippery decks and deep water, I'm afraid we don't take small children out on the water. Or are saying you're just coming to visit the Californian and Royaliste,? If so, I'll enjoy meeting you. Please introduce yourself to me. I'll be the pirate wench in red and black. But if you want to participate, please email me ASAP. -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...

The WildHair'd Wench Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Oh I know about the shootin' an all that. But I've been to Dana Point a few times before and there has been a pirate camp there before by the Port Royal Pirates if I remember correctly. In fact when I was there 2000? There were two pirate groups there. There's a market and everything. Most of the groups have been from Southern California, so I just have always come and hung out with them for the day. Haven't been for the past two years so I don't know what's changed or not. Has it? An don't be worryin' I be there. Me words me bond. Gotta spot The WildHair'd Wench.
