Caraccioli Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 So may I add you to the growing list under hotels? I'd say it's 50/50 probability at this point. If I buy an airline ticket, I'll let you know. (That'll be the clincher.) Right now it sort of depends on a couple imponderables. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"

William Brand Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I shall add you to the tentative list along with the rest. It helps to boost the numbers and keep the enthusiasm going. Let's see some more recruitment out there. New blood. New blood. New blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matusalem Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Recruit, recruit, recruit! If PyrateCon in the Crescent City can pull off "Seven...Hundred...and...Fifty...Pirates" as you said in another post, then I say why let a couple miles of blue-green sea stand in the way of going-or not going?

William Brand Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Since people are beginning to purchase plane tickets, I will be changing the status of each person on the Roll Call to reflect their "confirmed" status at PIP this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caraccioli Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The die has been cast. I purchased the tickets direct into EYW yesterday for the week leading into pirate fest. ($411 from DTW to EYW with 2 brief layovers! Last time I did that it cost me $587! That was 2 years ago and gas is so much more expensive now! Amazing...) I'm still trying to figure out a good place stay this time. (Something away from the main drag with a fridge for my insulin, peaceful with fairly private quarters.) My long time favorite KW hostelry turned condo just weeks after I left last time. (Although my being there or leaving had nothing to do with this. As far as I know. A moment of silence for The Colony Cottages. *sniff* I was a regular contributor to their bottom line.) Michael Bagley is generously helping me out with an outfit appropriate to an pirate appropriated surgeon. (My character.) Now I must really look to making up a fairly period correct surgeon's kit... (If only I had paid more attention to the surgeon's exhibit at Sid Meir's museum last time...) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caraccioli Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Try Travelocity! I used the +/- one day option when looking for rates (since I didn't particularly care when I left). Being as I'm leaving right after TG, Friday is the best day to leave for me. I've used them repeatedly and always been pretty happy. Plus I have a growing list of emails that tell me to have a good trip to KW in my Inbox. One of the few things I save over time... Why is everything scheduled for the weekend after TG? I'm missing a corporate-paid trip to Vegas to attend Autocad University to do this! Overall, that's ok, Vegas isn't really my thing - well, except Treasure Island Ts. The T-shirt I bought there was expensive as bloody hell, but it's stood up better than most Ts I've bought, so I guess it might almost, maybe, possibly be worth it. I'll be sorry to miss the University, though. Alas. I'm returning Monday so's I don't miss whatever happens on Sunday. I imagine it's pretty low key on Sunday, though. You can usually find a prop plane leaving from south Florida cities to KW airport for $100 - $200 round trip. You might save money with Spirit and a small air service if you look. Plus, the problem with cars is always where to put them. Key West is a small island and sometimes you have to pay the hotel for the parking space because it's at such a premium in Old Town. I don't know the circs of the parking for Fort Zach, though. As I recall, it's got a reasonable amount of parking spaces available and they may have set up something special for the pirateers. I'm sure William could tell you more about that. (For myself, I am bringing my bike and will probably only rent a car for a day so's I can visit Pigeon Key (probably a convertible) and make the bike trip on the portion of the old 7 Mile Bridge that is open to Pigeon. Plus I have to visit the No Name Pub...it's tradition. ) "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Diamond Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 YAY! Just got a chance to check in - 53+ confirmed PIRATES! How exciting! Glad to see you will be attending, Caraccioli! Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sully Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Add me to the roster this year, I just ordered my tickets! It'll be great to see some new faces as well as old. I've camped out the last 2 times I was down for PiP, but this will be the first "period camp" I've been in down there. I am so looking forward to this year!
