Blackbead Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Ahoy there me lads and lasses! It be that time of year again and I was just wonderin' which of you fine folk might be wanderin' to the Texas Renaissance Festival? I ask 'cause me and me friends'll be there on the weekend of October 22-23. If'n ye be payin' attention then ye know that this particular weekend be their "Roman Bachannal." Well, if ye show yer mugs that weekend, look for this old seadog dressed as a Cilician pirate! Which brings me to a question - any suggestions on how to dress as such? Me plans so far are to wear a tunic with a broad belt, a shoet sword (mine is a cross between a gladius and a hoplite's sword), some cross-tied mocassin boots, and a long, hooded cloak (hey, it should be chilly!) But, help is always welcome and if'n ye have more info on these fellow freebooters then I'll be glad to receive your epistles! Cast off! And I'll see ya when I see ya!

Tempest Fitzgerald Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Alas, dear sir...Our paths shall not be crossing. We shall be loading up and making a caravan down the weekend before for Jour de L'amour . ( Oct. 15 / 16 ) I am passing on the Roman Festivities and diving into the French Festivities, instead. Vive la France!! Those poor creatures will not know what hit them. May your journey be as delightful as I know mine will. And many thanks to you, my dearest Jack. For you have well accompished you intents and sendings of cooler weather. It was right chilly this morning and only 64 degrees now. ...Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, Tombless, with no rememberance over them: Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like a Turkish mute, shall have a toungueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph...
