Merrydeath Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Mr Straw.. under no circumstances will you use any force to win that contest.. no swords, no guns, no daggers, no cannon.. especially no cannon. Its leaves marks on the fine clothes. Did I mention no donkeys, no gunpowder, no powder monkeys.. (Lady B.. did I leave anything out?) Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.

Generally e'erythin' that says "pirate" all o'er it, Pete. Sorry, mate. I know.. I'd LOVE t' be there to see it. Hell... I'd propably be fightin' along side ya! What pirate doesn't like swashbucklin'? But... no blood lettin', mate. I know... I'd love to see that or join ya. A pity really. Lookin' forward to th' contest though. Though... who says this be costumes fo' us!

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Do not underestimate the power of my force. ...So, did you all notice that there is an $8 cover charge for the Friday night Buccaneer's Bash? And that's only if you are in costume! It's $10 otherwise.... LadyB, ye may want to try to convince them that yer actually in "costume," otherwise ye need to fork over more money.

Merrydeath Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I have some interesting ideas for the fest.. including some that I hope will become FG favorites. I like the idea that we can become a traveling crew to fests and share the fun! BTW, I hope to help Searover with the site, someone is sending me a webpage program that rocks!

Red Bess Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 That's great, Captain M! Can't wait to see what you have in mind. Crewmates, the Pirate Invasion scenario is now posted on the Fools Gold group site, in case you haven't seen it. We'll need to make some plans....

Gypsy Rose Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 As I am planning to go to this event for all of the days I would like to meet up with you all. Would you consider letting join the crew for these days? I am new to the Pirate stuff but I am willing to let loose and have fun. I will await an answer. You know where to find me.

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Gypsy Rose -- will look forward to meeting ye! The more hands the better -- we need help with all these tangled ropes on board ship -- do ye know how to untie knots? I presume you will get a favorable response from our Captain forthwith...

Bilgemunky Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Dangit - I'd set this thread to track, but something must have glitched out. Now I find out all sorts of chatting has been going on and I've been missing it! arrr.... The costume contest will have categories, by age if nothing else. But more importantly the Buccaneer's Bash will have a costume contest of its own, and that's a 21+ event. Judges will be local "somebodies" - chief of police and such. I'm *hoping* for a secret celebrity judge, but I don't know if that's going to happen. Yar. I AM BILGEMUNKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 21+ Bash, huh? Well, unfortunately that leaves the 3 lads out. Welp, Bess... what shall we do with those young lads? I know th' meeting for the Sat battle is at 7pm that night, too. Well, I was hoping I would have my new crimson outfit done in time... but I won't... unfortunately. Some complications popped up. ::le sigh:: Kinda bummed. Oh, well. Unfortunately, Bilgemonkey, I wasn't able to bring up those PDF files. Haven't a clue why. I have Adobe to view it. I think there is just too much on those files for it to be brought up properly. Unless I'm the only one to have that trouble.. which I shouldn't... I have a new computer. ::Grumbles:: Well, suppose to be new.. it's been giving me issues up the wazzoo! 2 weeks away, all! Only 2 weeks away!

I can fax them to you (if you have a number) of can send you copies via regular old U.S. Post. If we move fast, you will get them in plenty of time. PM me if you think it'll be faster. 2 weeks away, all! Only 2 weeks away! Scarey, isn't it? Rather invigorating. Last night I finished the Cleark's desk. With that and the table, we are all set to display/sign/etc. the Ship's articles. No I have to finish antiquing the documents.

Red Bess Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Lady B, I'm sure we can work out something to keep the lads safe and entertained Friday evening. We don't want to miss out on all the fun. As far as costumes go, I have the exact same bodice and skirt as last year (see picture below) but I do have new hat. I've got my eye on a skirt and bodice from Odd Bodkins, but we felt footwear for the powder monkeys was the finanical priority this season (alas, no cleavage for Port Washington ) Daniel has a very nice new pair of boots and Andre has new buckle shoes. We had a family "fashion show" the other night with garb and weapons, and I think we are ready to roll. 2 weeks and counting! WoooHoooo!

It was your "alas, no cleavage for Port Washington" statement that sounded so final, it terrified me so. I am still shaking in me buckly shoes. The beer is sloshing out of me tankard, I am trembling so hard. So, you're telling me that there will be at least some cleavage at Port Washington? Very well, then, I change my mind again.

Merrydeath Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 thank you, Pete, for going.. I'm not sure what I would do without your sane approach to chaos. I'll have some cleavage to show. I have a dress that I am wearing to the bash if we get there in time. Not quite period but I love the velvet. Bess, not sure of your budget, but oddbodkin has about 10 bodices on ebay for $50 and less, custom made to fit you. I wouldnt get the brigantine one but the others are great quality and price.

Anyway, I'll take my search for a new bodice to another thread. Port Washington -- plenty of cleavage, form-fitting breeches --something for everyone!!

Gypsy Rose Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hey I got a good game for you all. As this is my first gathering why don't we see who the first one is that can identify me? How does that grab you? Of course I will need to think of a prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilgemunky Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Actually, if we're to identify Gypsy, I think we need clues. I dont' what to have to walk up to everone in sight asking, "are you gypsy rose? Are you gypsy rose? are you? are you?..." Nope, that just won't do. I AM BILGEMUNKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Pete Straw Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hey I got a good game for you all. As this is my first gathering why don't we see who the first one is that can identify me? Sounds fun. I did the same think at Oshkosh, but gave it away by wearing a shite-eating grin while staring at Merrydeath from point-blank range. Of course, I was the only unidentified pirate who was unaccounted for. How does that grab you? Of course I will need to think of a prize. Er, I think you answered your own question. You have to "grab" the person who identifies you. Sounds like a fine prize to me. I dont' what to have to walk up to everone in sight asking, "are you gypsy rose? Are you gypsy rose? are you? are you?..." Actually, I have already started. I have been asking everyone all morning if they are Gypsy Rose. But, since I have not yet left the house, the Missus and the kids are getting rather impatient with me. not really faire since Pete will be afore us..and Bilgemonky too.... Sounda like SeaRover and Red Bess will get there at a good time, too. I told you I am trying to get there early. Time will tell whether I succeed or not. . There is still a lot to do, and I may have to finish some of it that morning. Still no idea how all this pirate gear is going to fit into my new car (which is a wagon/SUV -- I no longer have the galleon-sized minivan).
