[Capt Robertsgrave Thighbiter]

 Hi folks,  we be The Brigands, and we are the band for the Fri Pirate Ball, despite what the outdated info on the website is.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

[Esperanza McDaniels]

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!

[Ambrosine]

Awesome! I have $$ for you!

[Capt Robertsgrave Thighbiter]

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!

[Esperanza McDaniels]

Awesome! I have $$ for you!

Whoo hoo!  I like money!  But...*sigh*...it's not really MY money, is it?  Oh well.

[Jessi]

No chance of us making out. We have kids coming and going and guests that weekend. I'm so sad. 

[Lady Rebecca]

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.

[Capt Robertsgrave Thighbiter]

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!

[Ambrosine]

I'll be bringing some of my hubby's knock you on your A** grog! We should have two gallons comin with us 
I'm sure we will meet you at the ball!

[Kate]

Are you guys getting excited?
