Silkie McDonough Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I missread your post Mary, I swear it said "Then who is he standing with." ...it's too early in the day for me to be thinking. I work nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cat Jenny Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Is there anyone Silkie doesn't have the scoop on? hmmmm yup..she's goode.. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callenish gunner Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 the pimpmypirate.com webpage ..... maybe it's a my space thing what was he thinking???and was he actually firing that musket down there??? and if so it's a shame a spark from his pan didn't ignite that polyester pimp hat!!! or maybe seagulls could use it for target practice :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 That's one of Harry's friends and may work at the fort as well. Re-enacts Civil War (note the belt) and yes, he was making noise. But, seeing how that appears to be a cap-gun, no pan flash to take the hat. Damn. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Mary Diamond Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Aha, the mystery is solved! I imagine he will be pressed to leave the hat at home for 2007. Maybe the pants, too, but... that would be "the other end of Duval Street" (eh, Silkie)! So, no comments on the kid aspect Well, should it have any appeal, I notice the Port Washington Pirate Fest (in Raids) folks (Scuttle Sally) have some pretty nifty ideas to keep the little buggers occupied: As for the children's area. I've been in talks with the owner of the local HobbyTown. He's really in love with the idea and we're working on getting him to set up a demo area where kids can play some of the various pirate games (like Quest for Davy Jones Gold and Dread Pirate) or even work on making easy model ships. We're also looking at a dig for treasure sandbox for the wee little pirates in training. For the Buccaneer Bar, we'll be setting up Pirates Dice and mancala...maybe Shut-The-Box if Hobbytown can get us one. Oh, and I'll give you a teaser...we have something really cool along the lines of the popular wooden dubloons that will give the kids another way to interact with the pirates. The wooden dubloons will continue as they were SO popular last year! We'll have a seperate booth for their redemption. Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Finally leaving the 1860s and going back to the future... The rogue pictured is, indeed as Capt. Jim said, one our rangers. He's also my Chief of the Piece for artillery. Always had a problem with getting him to dress down ... And... he realizes that garb is NOT acceptable for future PiP events. I believe it was just what he pulled out of the trunk for the day... ------- Fort Taylor Pyrate Fest MySpace Page Master Hairbone's MySpace Page ------- There is no more equitable judge than a cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 That was in his trunk? Hangs out at the other end of Duval street, doesn't he? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkie McDonough Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Jim. Mary, I like the idea of doing something for the kids, I am not the one to do it. I mean I can entertain and tell stories but A.) I am not a pirate, wench that I am. B.) I am a follower, not a leader. If somebody wants to take the bull by the ...err, horns then I'll help wrestle him to the ground but I'm no matador! Additionally, the person who does take charge of the kiddies, may I suggest ...another new thread. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 if somebody volunteers to take over the kiddies ....i'll volunteer to watch over the moms while the kids are off being pirates strictly as a humanitarian gesture you understand :) and harry we need to bury that trunk!!!!

capnwilliam Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The firing of cannon can be a separate event entirely - giving even more to do. I think the cannons can be educational as well as fun. I saw we had a demo on how to load the cannon and such on Friday before it was hoisted to the ramparts. Why not do a who session each day about the different cannons, who they were loaded, etc. and then demo them. Same with the flintlocks. Schedule a time up where nothing else conflicts in the fort and direct everyone up top to enjoy some boom time. Cannon fire is just as enjoyable with or without a pseudo enemy... - Hurricane I've never been to PIP: hope to some day. And as a cannoneer, I'd be glad to be part of the cannon demo. I enjoy educating the public about cannon, even more so than firing them. :) Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"

hurricane Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Depending on the wares you're selling, you may find it worth your while to sell. We do well there each year. We will be heading up the Buccaneer camp there this year, with a 1680s representation of life in our favorite wicked city, Port Royal. Stop by and say hi and we'll feed you in our tavern and talk politics of the times. -- 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.

Silkie McDonough Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Atala Syrcuse, There is not a formal occasion at PiP that requires it however a lady always wants to look her best. If you with to be a lady then by all means dress the part. There is a trial for Ann Bonny and Mary Reed that you could wear it for. There is a banquet for volunteers on Sunday night. Be aware that it was VERY warm down there this year I would have been roasting and was quite glad that I was dressed in slops ...I was roasting in that anyway! For sale? Yes, there are ladies down there who do not sew and would love something like this. Contact Harry (found in one of these threads about PiP) about coming down as a vendor.
