Black Hearted Pearl Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Estrella War is the following week starting from Feb. 13-19th. I say, Come Early, Pyrates. Start with AZ Ren Fest and then move onto the Estrella War. This year, it will be just down the road from AZ Ren Fest. So who will join me for some raiding and pillaging on Saturday, Feb. 10th? I shall buy you a round. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.

Morgan Dreadlocke Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The strawboss says one weekend or t'other but nae ta both. Will either venue have an open stage fer performin' music? Or a local pub wheres we can all get together an jam? Glad ta see the War movin' from Avondale. The parks water was frightfully evil tastin'. 'Course that was a step up from th old site in Bouse wheres we had no water PIRATES! Because ye can't do epic shyte wi' normal people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hearted Pearl Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 If yer lookin for some open pub singing, I say Estrella War is your place. Az Ren Fest is a pretty tightly organized society. Estrella War encampements always welcome traveling bards and such. I'd say this is where your time will be better spent. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.

Morgan Dreadlocke Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 After visitin' th official web site I'll not be droppin' anchor at Estrella. The $200+ admission fee for ta see a 1/2 day cleanup be better spent at Escondito or Ojai. M.D. vet'rn 'o the Great Desert War an Estrellas 1, 11, & 111.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 hmmmm, a hunting of the site shows a daily adult fee to be $30. Of course, if you want to be camping, that would be more. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.

I cant really say, I live way up in kingman, and dont get to travel to alot of events much due to work and such. Am sure at war we'll be doing the usual off key drunken singing and falling over tho.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 Pictures? Did I take pictures? A few, but not as many as I wanted to. If you spotted a pyrate walking around with her hand shoved a pyrate puppet's ar$e, that was me. Sorry we didn't connect up. By the way, the puppet's name is Louie Lambe. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.

Morgan Dreadlocke Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Arizona Renn Faire 2007 visual impressions of an old fart- Arrived late in port around 1030. Many in the parkin' lot is gettin' garbed up so I blends right in. The tiny ramshackle 3 acre tent n pole village is now 30 acres 'o 2 story structures an a couple 'o small castles. The flyer says about 200 merchants an seemed ta be accurate. Merchants wi' demonstrations goin' on included a blacksmythe shop an a couple 'o glassblowers. Typical rennfair mass produced junk did not overpower the sales scene. There be lots one of a kind arts n craft work. One shop looked ta be specializn in monster heads as seen throu the eyes of Drs Suess an Leary . Prolly spent as much time lookin' at building construction an architecture as I did lookin' at the contents. There be 12 different stages scattered around the site. Constant entertainment if ye could navigate the area . The site map be printed not accordin' ta standard practises (top of a map be north not east!). Most of the staged shows was a'pointed toward the mundane hoards. The best music ta be had was provided by two young lasses in the grassy glens under shady trees. One was a playin' the harp an a lovely sound it be. The other was demonstratin' her skills on a harpsichord/spinet type instrument. Cast in Bronze was drawing in the largest musical crowd an Ded Bob was a'grabbin the standup comedy groupies. Sawr Tia Dalma and Captain Jack, the Pope an many others I could not identify. Ran inta one pirate skit bein put on by ? A lass tyd ta the bridge, two kegs 'o powder an the pirate attemptin' ta light the powder trail. Asked several piraty types iffins they knew of any afterhours get togethers (pirate raid at Long John Silvers or ARRRbys?) but no luck. Costumin' seemed pretty good fer the most part. Sawr a few mx type boots an satin/spandex trousers Wandered around fer a few more hours, petted the greyhounds, bought a Cast in Bronze cd, an took my leave till next year. Notes fer next year- Take not I-10 ta Phoenix, the back road thru Florence be faster. Larger bag ta throw goodies in. Disposable still camera in addition to camcorder.

Morgan Dreadlocke Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Part 2 Spent Pressydents Day Kibbitizin' wi' Captain Killigrew an her crew 'o miscreants. Did a couple 'o hours 'o piraty shenannegans then the skyies open up around 3 pm. Thousands of mundanes was a'bailin' out the front gate. Rained fer about 15-20 minutes then got windy an cold. When the thunderclouds rolled away a few minutes later the sky be awash wi' news helicopters (big plural). The Faire be mostly a ghost town by then. We found outs later that someone had been struck by/or close enough ta a lightnin' strike ta be needin' an ambulance. Overheard several 'o the royalty mentionin' Mar 3-4 as bein' "Pirate weekend." Pearl, ya got cher ears on Lass? Wot be the skinny on this? PIRATES! Because ye can't do epic shyte wi' normal people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hearted Pearl Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Aye, the website be confirming that March 3 & 4 now officially be pirates' weekend. Bloody royals could nay not make up their minds until after the faire had already begun. Alas, the ship's surgeon with be giving me a hook the week before, so I shall not know if I can attend until that day. I might be on a wee few bit of painkillers (not the pusser's rum type either). ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind.
