Island Cutter Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Greetings All, I am an artisan who handmakes various Pyrate Themed hanicrafts. I have long been considering the journey down to PIP and I am wondering what sort of crowd to expect... I don't expect to make a fortune, but covering the trip down from"Nieuw Amsterdam" would be nice. Any insights from re-enactors or fellow vendors would be appreciated.

hurricane Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 My wife sells pirate jewelry and accessories and did quite well in 2004. We were in Jamaica for 05, so I can't speak for that. But it was definitely worth the time and effort and we'll be there again with more goodies this year. -- 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.

Island Cutter Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks for the feed back Mate. I know that it's hard sometimes to share information with unknown vendors... we all eat off of the same plate so to speak, but I think that my work is different enough to not be competative to other vendors based on the nature of the product. I seem to remember that the event used to be centered around the Theives Alley at the Schooner Wharf. I was wondering if the tourist traffic was actually finding its way over and into Fort Zach.

hurricane Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 No, the traffic hasn't been the same at the fort. It is about 1/3 of the old traffic and people have to pay to go to the festival. I still love the wharf area, but the festival is unwelcomed there. Ah, the wonders of politics in a small town. -- 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.

ladybarbara Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Attended last year, didn't make a lot but as Jack Sparrow said, " all that glitters is not gold mate". We had a great time and had a paid vacation, can't beat that. We'll be back this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
