Jib Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 For those of you who have been to PiP how would you say the average plain clothes patrons are? In my expereince at Ren Faires some people are very engaging and enjoy direct intereaction with anyone in a costume (unable to tell cast from 'playtrons'). Others are fearful and like to watch but don't want direct interaction. Having never been to Key West I wouldn't even begin to guess how your average family in plain clothes out for the day would react. i have heard that Key West is very open minded and creative. About what percentage of people garb up as pirates and get involved?
hurricane Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Only the participants in the festival get in costumet. The locals don't participate in much of anything there. They just watch the fruitcakes stroll by. Everyone is just great there. Pirates are just part of the ordinary wallpaper there. My mate and I have been there outside of PiP in full regalia on Duval and in the bars and it's just another day in paradise to everyone. So don't expect anyone to be too amazed, except the tourists. And get used to the fact that most of them don't know a festival is even going on. Some 5,000+ pour off the cruise ships each day at Mallory Square and flood the town. But they don't know what's going on there unless it was on the cruise director's list of tours. Be prepared to pose for lots of photos. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Jib Posted November 8, 2005 Author Posted November 8, 2005 At the Ren Faires I work at I often give out trinket to the kiddies. Good idea at PiP? Bad idea at PiP? No kids at PiP?
hurricane Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 The kiddies love trinkets. No problem handing them out and prepared to be mobbed. :) -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.
