So we can get the ball rolling... Who is planning to be at Scurvy Awareness Day on May 2nd?
What about John Levique Days June 11, 12, 13?
http://www.johnspassfestivals.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=4
OK scurvy not gonna happen since its the boys bday.
But money permitting we really want to do John Levique Days. So I'm trying to persuede some babysitters and figure out the budget for getting a room for the two nights. It would be sooo nice to have a mini vacation with out the kids! David and I need this!
So, Scurvy awareness is really on a Sunday?
I want to do John Levique.. but we need to start talking HOTEL!
Scurvy Awareness is a yes. Candy, we're gonna car pool, yes? I've requested off for JLD but I'm also going on vacation the following weekend for ten days (going to OHIO for sister's wedding) and not sure if my work will be so accommodating to me, cause that's A LOT of requests off for June. If anything, David will be there for everything. I put in my request off that it was my sister's bachelorette party. While that's technically true, as her party is the weekend of the 12-13th, it's also in Ohio... :-*
We would love to go to both. But we don't have anyone to keep the kids for us and that is just to long to leave them home alone. So count us out this time. :'(
MY MOM IS TAKING AIDAN YIPPEE! So we can definitely come for the whole weekend. We just need to start thinking of the hotel issues. We cannot afford much so I really want to team up with people to get the a room or suit. Who knows the area well enough to look up this info? I've only been out there once and it was about ten years ago! I want to make sure we get close to the action.
If you are good with a couple of newbies, we're in!!

Yes... carpool!.. Hector is in on that too!
SCAD being on a Sunday means no need to take time off, woo.

Did we met at BARF? your picture just doesn't look familiar and I looked at your my space too! I met so many people and I'm horrible at names and faces unless I see you more then once. Just wonderin! hehe we are "Newbies" too to the pirate festivals. We have only attened BARF. Would it be just you if we went in on the room if not how many others are with you?
Esperanza: Hope you can get off! would love to room with you and David if you can both go, if not David is more then welcome to join us. I'm trying to figure out who is interested in going in on the room before we try to book. The place Maria has suggested has room for 6!
Ooh, Amber, I hadn't realized that those rooms held six people. Will def have to make final plans soon. David and I will get together with everyone at SCAD and let you know what the final verdict is, since you and David aren't going to make it. What were they, $137 a night?
Let me know too. It'd just be me, but I could try to swing it.
if we go with a two bed suite which also has pull out couch with the 15% discount it will put it at $246(normal 289) per night but then we can divide it by how many we have in the room. if we plan to stay two nights and have 6 it will be about $82 per person + tax and fees. if we only have 5 it would be about $98. (you would have a nice bed to yourself Kate!) if we want to do it we need to book at soon as possible as they are very close to all the action! This was a great pick by Maria.
They have rooms that sleep 4-6

Aye..sorry to say that I do not believe we met at Barf..Lady Remy and I will be going to SCAD and JLD..Looking for hotel info, however, I have a bit of pirate sleepin disorder...so it may be best for me to be a bit down the hall from everyone.. :P.

We are camping on the beach, right? Just us, the rum, a bootjack, and my parrot?
sounds like a fine plan Hector! Everyone in their skivvies, right? :o

Let me know too. It'd just be me, but I could try to swing it.
it might be a better (CHEAPER) idea for us if we just got the smaller suite and someone bring along an air mattress that we can just put in the middle of the living room. Then, we're splitting $135 five ways. Sounds better to me. Unless there are other takers as well that want to crowd into a room. I don't really care how many people are in the room with me, lol, the more the merrier. as long as I have a floor to crash on, I'll be happy. Only major problem will be bathroom schedules.

This is not conducive to my plan. LOL
I have a queen size blow up mattress that is the higher type so pretty comfy, if we want to do the cheaper room. Bathroom schedule would be the same in the two bed, it only has one bathroom. Question is there room for the mattress? we may be moving furniture around ;D I know I'm just like you, Monica, I just want a place to crash!
Schedule for this year's Festivities- May be subject to change!
Check out the winery BTW- The Pirate Grog (mead) they sell is delicious...and the orange wine makes a wicked addition to a mimosa!

NP. I know either myself or Ambios if not Madge tries to post it every year to let people know what's going on or where to find people.
Even without the wee ones, feel free to check out the fight circles, brawls and cannons going off. ;) And check out the candy/ice cream shop Kilwin's.
And ask questions if you've never attended.
Major tips? Even if drinking stay HYDRATED. It's about 90 degrees in the shade at this one! :-p And don't forget sunblock...I got fishnet sunburn from stockings that lasted for 2 years!
It's a fun show to be at.
I'm sure that everyone can recommend good places to eat too...The Friendly Fisherman is where the bar brawl is at.
and yes, the pub crawl tickets are worth it from what I hear.
Quote from: Kate on April 08, 2010, 04:09:25 AM
This is not conducive to my plan. LOL
We can always slip in a BB undetected. If it's crowded, you'll be FORCED to share a bed. :-*
For the record that is the SQD for last year but one gets the idea
We will be doing the official Harbinger meeting at the Scurvy Party around 4 PM.
All those interested in joining the crew should contact me ASAP with position requests and contact info.
Thanks, I mean ARGGG
I so wish we could join in the fun on Scurvy Day :'( but we will see most of you the day before.

Thanks for catching that. I wasn't sure.
Because of money and planning for other fun stuff, I'm probably only doing Saturday at JLD.
@Kate
AWWWW MAN! no sleepovers! and I was sooo looking forward to bunkin together =( Maybe for St. Augustine? rooms are cheaper up there!

We'll see. trying to svae for a trip to MD for Labor Day as well as St. Arg. For St. Arg the rooms at the Ramada are pretty cheap and I think have two queens in each.
Sign us up! David and I may just get a cheapy room for ourselves for Johns Pass. If you get a little happy on Saturday feel free to crash with us. thats a long drive home!
Don't count us out yet! I'll see what everyone's plans are on Scurvy Day, and give you a definite answer on who all wants to go in on one room. David and I are down for sharing a room, save on money.

Monica do you have it off?? I thought you requested it but 't know yet.

What is all this talk about St. Augustine? I've never been there. Actually, I don't even know where it is. LOL. Never heard of it before ya'll started talking about it. David never takes me anywhere. LOL.

I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have it off. But I figured that we'll have no choice but to make the hotel reservations since we don't want to be without a room. I'm thinking it won't be that big of a deal because my boss likes me and knows that I don't really request off too many days. June is just a big month for me. Lots going on.

Don't be sad! I don't have to do everything, nor do I have any desire to do EVERYTHING because I know from past years that the combination of heat and fun = a super tired (even *gasp* cranky!) pink pirate. I'm gonna play it by ear, but am most likely just doing Saturday.

The St. Arg info is on the Harbinger group Discussion Board on Facebook. It takes place in November and is an absolutely fantastic time. It is known as the Oldest City and is on the Northeast coast of Florida. Beautiful place!
We, the cast, got told this weekend that they MAY be doing the equivalent of a Ren Faire seasonal pass (covers the pub crawl, basics, etc.)
I'll post more when I get more info. Just wanted to throw it out there.
OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so interested if that will come true! ;D
Here's the promised info in regards to passes
Passes are $80
They are available at a pre-show price of $65 through a few people (for those interested I can get you the information)
The weekend pass includes the following-
Pirate Ball
Meal @ the ball
Pub crawl
$20 of food coupons
The VIP Party and a t-shirt
Please bear in mind that this may change!
INTERESTED!!!!!!

This is definitely awesome for those doing everything. I will probably just do the pub crawl on Saturday. How much is that one again?
Kate- Will get you that info.
For those of you interested in passes, I'll get the contact info that you need ASAP
Thanks Mary! Sorry we've been playing phone tag for a few days. Hope all is well! :)
Wish I could do "everything," but work would be unhappy if I took another weekend off.
So here we are t-3 days from Scurvy Awareness Day.
The event starts at noon so I'm sure Candy and I will be leaving my nexk of the woods around 11ish. Let's get in as much fun as possible on this Sunday Funday of pirating!
Also, if you're on the Harbinger FB, check over there for important info about where and when we'll be meeting (also I'm thinking the krewe pic will be moved earlier in the day for the sake of sweatiness).
Who's there???
I plan to be at Scurvy Awareness Day. However, I won't be there until later in the day - since I am going to be headed home to Colorado soon, I need to get every bit of fight practice in at LeVique rehearsals on Sunday. But, I'll be there!
I figure even if I'm sweaty and nasty, that just makes me more authentically a pirate. I need every bit of help, considering who I play. :D

We will be dare.. ARRRRGGGHH!!! Can't wait!!!!!!! Who's got the rum?
So who is going to go to Scurvy this weekend?
This weekend was a BLAST! It was great to see you all and meet some new faces!
I only wish I could have stayed longer than 4 hours! Came home to a powerless neighborhood and had to break into my own house...
I can't wait to see you all at JLD in June, hopefully some of you before then! Don't forget the Memorial Day trip to GARF! :)
Ohhh thats coming up quickly isn't it?

Memorial Day? Yes! You going to make the trip, too? Treeman may be looking for a roommate!
I'm too late to ask for that friday off or to leave early, my manager is already taking it off. So I will not be able to make that drive--poops! :'(--- Just means I can save more money for JLV and have a blast!
@Squire Mickey : Are you shacken up at a hotel for JLV or making the drive each day?
@ Monica: Have you and David decided what you wanted to do? I'm gonna book our room by next wednesday so I need to know if I'm splitting it with anyone or if David and I are doin this on our own...if on our own we will most likely stay at a hotel near but not right on Johns Pass because of the expense.

We're not leaving until 4 PM... It is only 8 hours. David can sleep all day and make the drive! :) You'll get in around 2 AM and cannon isn't until 10:30! A good 8 hours of sleep! :)
I wish we could make it but I have to work and David wants us to save our money for everything else we already have planned. LOL, he's like "Let's concentrate on what we already have planned, before we start trying to add more stuff to it"

I talked to Maria and she said it only ended up costing around $98 a night and she only had to come up with half now and then half upon checkout. She said when you call, to mention "The Harbinger" or even her name and you should get a great discount. David and I really want to do everything, but we don't know if it will happen, based on my schedule. I don't want to commit to something, and then have it blow up in my face if I end up having to work, even though I did request the time off. I asked my boss if she thought it would be an issue and she said she wasn't sure, because other people have requested that time off too. In short, I guess it makes sense for you and your David to do what is right for the two of you, and me and my David will have to play it by ear. But if I do get the time off, we would love to split the cost of a room with you, even if we have to sleep on an air mattress. Just saying... :-*
So David and I have other plans and will not be getting a room. We found a friend who lives not too far so she is trying to set us up in her place or a friend that has extra space. Yippee, even if we have to sleep in my moms van (it easily will fit a blow up matrees with the seats out.) we just need a drive way and access to a bathroom so we are good to go! That means more money to spend on the fun stuff!
** side note we will have the van so we can play taxi for those in need of rides to and from hotels if need be! ;)
Amber, parking is a NIGHTMARE. Keep that in mind when making plans. Be prepared to park 3-5 miles away and have to take a shuttle in.
I do believe we will be staying about 3-4 miles away to begin with. Our friend is very familiar with JLV so I'm sure she will have some pointers for us since she lives in the area.
If they allowed camping on the beach I would SOOO do that! but I guess they done want a bunch of drunk pirates wandering at night!
Scurvy Awareness Day was AWESOME.. great times..JLD is shaping up to be insane! We are hitting GARF next weekend..5/15.. Pirate weekend..Those who invade on Mem. Day.. ENJOY!!!
Seems through a series of events I will, thanks to awesome friends, be staying at JLD all weekend. :)
Mary, any more info about that weekend pass?
Spoke to Suzzie King on Tuesday. The season passes will happen and they will either be $60 or $65. She will let me know when they are available. I will post here as well as on the FB Harbinger page. Thus is the presales price. Later they will be $75 or $80.

Amber! Awesome news! David and I found a motel that's only 1200 ft from John's pass for $60 a night! I already booked it! It's a suite so apart from the bedroom, it also has a queen sized sleeper sofa, a kitchen, and dining area and living room. If you and David want to split it with us, let me know! ;D

So David and I have other plans and will not be getting a room. We found a friend who lives not too far so she is trying to set us up in her place or a friend that has extra space. Yippee, even if we have to sleep in my moms van (it easily will fit a blow up matrees with the seats out.) we just need a drive way and access to a bathroom so we are good to go! That means more money to spend on the fun stuff!
** side note we will have the van so we can play taxi for those in need of rides to and from hotels if need be! ;)
Amber! Awesome news! David and I found a motel that's only 1200 ft from John's pass for $60 a night! I already booked it! It's a suite so apart from the bedroom, it also has a queen sized sleeper sofa, a kitchen, and dining area and living room. If you and David want to split it with us, let me know! ;D
I know you already talked to David.. so we are IN! can't wait this is gonna be som much fun!
I'm glad you guys decided to go in on it with us! We're gonna have so much fun!

Spoke to Suzzie King on Tuesday. The season passes will happen and they will either be $60 or $65. She will let me know when they are available. I will post here as well as on the FB Harbinger page. Thus is the presales price. Later they will be $75 or $80.

They won't sell our for Harbinger crew as I have a block of them reserved with Suzie King, the promoter of the whole event...
Okay...looks like Trisha and I will be doing the pass thing... Pub crawl and awl... and since I don't drink any longer Katie has already commandeered my drinks... good pirate wench that she is!!!
Not sure about the accommodations yet... Trisha is looking right now... might just take the truck and use an air mattress in the back and sleep under the stars... pretty darned pirate'y if you ask me. Of course... I would be the one arrested for vagrancy.
See you all at JLD. And bring.... WATER... Lots and lots of WATER.
Hey, just letting you and Trisha know that we're staying at the Beach House Motel & Apartments. It's only $60 a night and we're getting a suite with another couple, so 4 people fit comfortably. Not sure if you know anyone that can go in with you on a room, but this is the cheapest I've found that's a hop skip and jump away from John's pass. Honestly, I probably wouldn't care if it was a dive, considering we're only gonna pass out there and wake up there. All our partying will be done at JLD! But I'll post the web addy below. The manager I talked to was James. Hope I helped out some! :)

Oh yeah, he only had a few rooms left when I talked to him a couple days ago.
Steve --
That's the one I was telling you about.
Oh, and by the way,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ;D ;D :-* ;D ;D
I second that! Happy Birthday Steve!
For those of you who have met her. My sister-in-law, Jacquie is going to join us for JLV. She has not said she can do the whole time..depends on work. BUT she WILL BE THERE!

Hi folks, we be The Brigands, and we are the band for the Fri Pirate Ball, despite what the outdated info on the website is. This is our first foray to Fla and we would love to meet all the good folks from there who are posters here. We'll be playing Fri night at the Ball and Sat night at one of the pub crawl bars, and sunday at some point either on the Main stage or in another pub.
Drop by our website , http://thebrigands.com and see what ye be gettin' yerself in for!
Now we get to say we play from Maine to Florida - how cool!
Al, Erik, Brett and Kevin
The Brigands
We look forward to hearing you play. Hope you're a lively crew, as we can be a lively crowd.
Oh, and my schedule for June is out, Amber. I have been approved for alll the time off I requested. It's official, I'm there!
Awesome! I have $$ for you!

Oh I think that you will be pleasantly surprised. We are NOT the traditional, layed back, plinky plinky kind of band one hears so often at faires and festivals. More like a kick in the proverbial eggs, with bawdy and downright dirty songs thrown in for good measure. See you there!
Quote from: Lady Raven on May 27, 2010, 05:55:20 PM
Awesome! I have $$ for you!
Whoo hoo! I like money! But...*sigh*...it's not really MY money, is it? Oh well.
No chance of us making out. We have kids coming and going and guests that weekend. I'm so sad. :-[
I'll be there on the 13th! I'm making some pirate pants to go with my corset and pirate hat. Don't know what to wear on my feet yet, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. I'm excited! It will be my first time there.
WHoo Hoo - it's gonna be party central after hours - the festival folks got us a condo 1 block from the faire site - with a pool no less! Who'se got the rum!
I'll be bringing some of my hubby's knock you on your A** grog! We should have two gallons comin with us ;D
I'm sure we will meet you at the ball!
Are you guys getting excited?
I want it to come quickley! but then again I have a ton of work left to do so I want more time!
I wish I could be there... I hope you all have fun!
Katie!!! I'm going to miss you sooooo much! There will be no pink to ponder.
Apparently there WILL be pink to ponder, but it won't be me.
Not sure how I feel about that....
Well, yea! 'Course, a more appropriate question might be are we getting packed?
[added]
My mind just went all kinds of wrong places with regard to "pink to ponder." We're gonna miss you lots, Katie!

Yeah, it is just hitting me that I won't be there and I'm all of a sudden SUPER bummed...
And irritated, but that's a Twitter post of its own.
If you know a lass who wants to make a few $$ over the weekend, we are looking for a Purser De Jour
( CD girl) for our shows. Job consists of looking good and holding the CDs up for folks to buy while we are playing. Benefits include free entry into the Fri Pirate Ball and other venues and getting to hang out with us ( debatable benefit, but thats what we got). One could easily pay the expenses by only a few hours work.
Send e-mail to wrench13@aol.com if interested.
lookin' forward to seeing all o' ye there! And to add to the mayhem, I'll be celebratin' me birthday on Sunday.
For those o' ye who were there last year, I got a pub crawl pass as a present. Someone asked the E.D., "What idiot gave her a pub crawl pass for her birthday?" E.D. answered, "Ummmm, that would be me!"
Will try to be responsible, cause I still gots me job to do! (Don't forget me rum party on Saturday!)
-Anne Bonny
Happy almost birthday! Wish I could be there to celebrate with you!!!
John Levique Pirate Days marks the official return of Matt Worsham to For Love or Money, making us a trio for the first time! You're going to love the new sound! Jen, Matt, and Dave will be there Friday night at the big party, as well as on Saturday & Sunday all day, wandering and putting music wherever it isn't! If it storms, listen for us in the bars, parking garage, or stores that beckon us in from the rain.
And we will not miss Anne Bonny's Rum Party on Saturday... especially if someone can remind us RIGHT BEFORE THE PARTY.
UMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm 2500 pictures oh boy who edits my photos again ????? #Chuckling
:D Can't wait to see all the pics Leinad! Specially want a copy of the one when I was begging for food tickets from my hubby! Priceless!
The Brigands were fantastic! Definitely one of the highlights of the day yesterday, as well as one of the best groups I have had the pleasure to hear!
Can't wait to see all the pics Leinad. Every where we turned, there you were, snapping away. I especially can't wait to see all the karaoke shots. Who knew we'd have a repeat performance of pirate karaoke. So much fun!!!

Wonderful it was to celebrate yer birthday with ye! Thanks fer allowing me a sip of yer raspberry mojito. Twas delicious.

Just an FYI (and it may be the wine talking...) If you have a question or a concern about WHY I didn't go, address ME with it instead of making assumptions... It was about the PRINCIPLE of things.
Believe me, I WANTED to be there and was super bummed that I wasn't. No one told me I couldn't go. *I* made the choice. Again, on principle.
Regardless of reasons (and I know why), it stunk not having you there.
I missed gettign my hug and megawatt smile.
Esc and I will have pictures for everyone after a bit,
although we are missing about 500 or so that didn't copy correctly from Sunday @3:30 in the afternoon.
Apparently, you can experience the whole weekend with the 7100 pictures i took.
Thanks to all who said howdy to us ( The Brigands) from the board! We had a great time - met some new folks, jammed with some fine musicians. Sweated our paychecks off. For anyone who wanted to purchase one of our CDs but were unable to, please visit our website , thebrigands.com where all 5 of them can be bought direct.
Lady Rebecca, did we meet your expectations?
Also, talks have begun on performing for the St Augustine Pirate festival and a few other venues in Florida! Might just become our favorite away state!
Anywho, thanks again for showing these out-of-state pirates what good fellowship and commraderie is all about!
^You exceeded my expectations! The 3rd class party song from Titanic was especially impressive. :) Thanks!

Hey mate, if you can shoot the pics of The Brigands to me at wrench13@aol.com we will give ye credit for them if we use any on our website.
We'll be glad to get the pictures to you, Capt, soon as I'm finished editing them. With 7100 for the weekend, it's gonna take me a bit. I'm having a great time doing it, though.
