Redd Oktober Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Avast there, mates! For any of ye who might be havin the pleasure of setting yer anchor in California's, Silicon Valley, I'm firing the signal cannon fer yer help. The lovely people of Los Gatos, California (including merchants and the local constables) have constructed an enormous addition to their annual charity haunted house. The addition is a pirate village (nicknamed "Tortuga" fer all ye Johnny Depp fans)...and we be needin' a boatload o' buccaneers ta fill it! We need swashbucklers, drunks, rabble-rousers, and other forms of piratical brethren. We could also be usin' help in manning the other scenes (some are non-piratical...but still fun). Known as The Haunted Forest, the event's proceeds benefit: D.A.R.E. Los Gatos Volunteers in Policing Los Gatos Disaster Aid Response Team (DART) I and a couple of other Bay Area pirates will be helping out, and would love to have ye out there with us. This would be a marvelous opportunity fer us ta meet, and also for those of ye who attend other shows to practice yer interaction with landlubbers (the audience). If ye be interested...please hoist yer black flag and I'll be sending ye more information. -Redd YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"

The Touring Gentleman Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Hmm... thar be many a Central California pirates, mates. Hopes they rise to the challenge, I do. Not a bad plan as fund raisers go. Burbank's Disaster Volunteer Program has a budget that's hangin' by a- ::SNAP!:: Damn it all, there goes the budget again! 'Scuse me, won't ya? Only by great risks can great results be achieved. -Xerxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redd Oktober Posted September 20, 2003 Author Share Posted September 20, 2003 Aye...I be thanking ye fer them kind words, "Gentleman". Arr....I just came back from the warehouse where the talented folks of the Haunted Forest are currently building their haunt. Tortuga is HUGE and elaborate! They've even got a 14' facade/stage based off of "The Black Pearl" moored off to the side of the buildings. Everything is brand new, and they're plannin' to add more. There is talk of having a theatrical "slide to life" rope swing fer pirates to disembark upon. It would be a shame to waste such a wonderful set by only having lonely little Redd and a couple o' other swabs manning the decks. This is not a blood and guts Halloween show, the directors want to keep it delightfully frightening (not nauseating). Behind the scenes...it's a fun, warm, atmosphere (as warm and friendly as pirates get, that is). If you would like to learn more about the show, visit www.hauntedforest.org. They've got photos of past shows, and even got some "makin of" photos of Tortuga (and...I think... some rather rediculous pictures of Redd there as well). Redd an his mates can't wait to meet anyone from Pyracy willing to spend an evening with us. YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"

El Pirata Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 If I were on that coast I might think about volunteering but unfortunately I am not. I was thinking about why they used the title Los Gatos? Kinda like when I heard about the El Camino. I never bothered to think about a meaning of the name but later when I did it just didn't seem to fit. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Gads... I am so booked already, all through October, but this sounds like fun- If nothing else, I can forward the info to our pirates. Can you please email it to me at talesofthesevenseas@hotmail.com Additionally, I can usually get a pretty good size crew of pirates together for an event, but not on short notice. Next time an event comes up in Northern CA in need of pirates, with a bit of advance notice, I can spread the word to quite a few people and be more helpful. Some of our events are scheduled months and as much as a year in advance. -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...
