Capt. Sterling Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 i'm thinking now that i might actually attempt to venture up for Pirate Invasion weekend again this year. Especially with dropping gas prices :) Gas prices are dropping?!?!? WHERE???

I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Blydes Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Tell ya what, William! Why don't you come down and leave "the kids" at home! Seriously, I'm sure there's always a place to camp... I agree Kass... I was tempted. The lack of having any leave remaining is the biggest problem. I'll have to plan for next season. William Blydes I don't get lost, I EXPLORE!

Bloodrose Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 It's looking very much like I'll be attending this event with Captain Rhedd. Is there going to be any place where everyone might congregate and meet each other? It's always good to meet other pirates since there aren't many in my immediate area (just me and Rhedd as far as I know). Captain Myfanwy T.

crimson corsair Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 The past few years we have met up at the Whitehart Tavern at around 1:00pm We can all have a cold one and take a few pictures and shoot the breeze. I think someone has mentioned something about meeting at the Privateer living history set-up.... Crimson Who is staying at the Pirate Encampment at the KOA Campground?

jim hawkins Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Sounds like either the tavern at 1:00 or merricks/pirate brethren have a camp site. Stop by and throw something at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Since I am technically "working" for Joe while I'm there, I'll be in camp more often than not. Jim, you still have my gloves in your trunk. If your don't arrive in time for the mdrf, we'll have to split them 50/50. Good thing I'm left-handed.

Especially with dropping gas prices :) Gas prices are dropping?!?!? WHERE??? In Delaware!!! I paid $2.37!!! The lowest I've seen in what, a year or two? Any gas stations near the renfest will be about... $2.50 I'd guess? My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.

Capt. Sterling Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I tell ya, I hope this lasts and continues on a downward spiral...sure would be nice... on a trip a few weeks ago, Kentucky was down to 2.32. This past weekend NY was 2.55 and now in VA, Thank God, we're down to 1.99 in some places.... would be nice if next event season could boast the same! Some of the prices have turned an ordinary event of a hundred bucks to 500 or more dollar nightmares....

blackjohn Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hope this helps: YES! Quite a bit! Thanks!

Another wedding in Williamsburg, eh? I was actually married in the King's Arms Tavern... we were to get married on the green before the Govenor's Palace but the rain ruined that for us... so we were offered the small foyer in the tavern... the manager was thrilled. He said as far as he knew we were the first to get married there and the meal that followed was superb! Will this wedding tie in with the Yorktown event? I'm thinking of driving over and saying hello to some old friends... not that the dragoon uniform fits any more... I think I now fall into that category of yours called the "more experienced"...

crimson corsair Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Weather forecast for this weekend is..... Saturday mostly cloudy and in the mid 70s Sunday mostly cloudy and in the upper 80s with a %40 chance of showers..... But it is only Tuesday.........

blackjohn Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Okay, I hope this is right. Jim will correct me if not. Over in the lower left is participant's parking. It's not too far from the elephants. Up a gravel road from the parking is a gate. There are a couple guys there with a list. If your name is on it, they'll let you pass. Follow the path up the hill. You'll be roughly behind the costume rental place. I believe there is a secret entrance near the privies. If you miss it, there's a long walk behind Valley Meade that comes out, I believe, near the New Privy Location. Good luck!

Nice! We were married in a "castle." A rich person's home that was donated to the city. If you've ever seen Cry Baby or Twelve Monkeys then you've seen it. WOW! I didn't even think about it being Yorktown time of year. It might be. They both do RevWar. I'd go in my old uniform and wear my officer's kit, but yeah... all those years of experience have taken their toll on me... I mean my uniform... as well.
