Are you going to just visit or perform at the Pirate Days of The Colony.

If you are going to perform there have you contacted them and did the respond?
I tried to contact them about being a sponsor but havent heard back yet.
Let me know if you hear from them please.

[Emerald Shaunassey]

Ottheinrich,
     We have applied to perform at this event and I must say I was most impressed with the speedy reply from the lady in charge of entertainment.  Our performance proposal has been submitted and we await word of acceptance or declination at this point in time.

     I hope you hear back from those in charge of sponsorship soon, you may want to do a follow-up e-mail just to jog their memory; from the sounds of it, the entire staff is blown away by the response to their pirate theme.

Keep us updated, aye?

I left them a message thru their website on Monday and still haven't heard from them. I guess they got all the sponsorship they need. I wasn't going to ask for any thing in return I just wanted this faire to do succeed and maybe return next year.


I'm not a very patient person so maybe I should push myself and wait a little longer 

How did they contact you? E-mail or phone call?

[Emerald Shaunassey]

Via e-mail then made arrangements to speak with me on the phone.  I'd probably drop them another e-mail just to ensure that they did recieve your first one.

Anyone heard anything else about this festival?  We're already looking forward to it.

[Emerald Shaunassey]

Other than they declined to hire my troupe to perform, not a word have I seen or heard. 

Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I should think that most of us would be a bit wild for them.

Im sorry to hear that you will not be performing there.

[Emerald Shaunassey]

Im sorry to hear that you will noe be performing there.

As am I, Ottheinrich, I was so looking forward to this event.  But in reviewing their events page (http://piratedays.org/3.html) - I see now why they couldn't afford to hire my troupe - they have blown their budget with all the acts; some of which are not cheap.  Leaves very little for groups like mine who just wish to cover their expenses and not be greedy.

Ah well, gives us more time to dream up bits for other places. 

Have an outstanding day!

Sorry, I was to hear that ye will not be in The Colony . . . but we can drown our sorrows with a bucket or two at Middlefaire!  See ya soon, Captain, and get your singing voice in practice - "God Take the King!" is ready for presentation to the crew!  I wound up using an old tune ("The Irish Jaunting Car," also used by a guy named McCarthy as the music for a little piece called "The Bonny Blue Flag") but the words fit well and it is a nice, rousing protest song!  The chorus goes:  "Huzzah!  Huzzah! 'Tis a new song I sing, give me rum, freedom, and buckets of gold and GOD TAKE THE KING!"

[Emerald Shaunassey]

I hope to have m' pipes in working order by the time the song be sung, dear Blackbead.  I am lookin forward to Middlefaire and all that it contains!

Fair Seas m' friend,
Emerald
