Ants in my pants,

Can’t believe that the Second Annual Northern California Pirates Festival starts tomorrow, and I’m already chopping at the bit. The plan is get the posse moving around 8:30 am. in the general direction of Vallejo. Most of the team will travel by land speeder and two will bravely venture by ferryboat, convenient because it lands them next to the event site so you don’t have to walk that far. Either way I’m insisting that everyone arrive early to part take in the festivities, and avoid most of the traffic congestion getting into the area.

Last years event drew 30k with most of the participants appropriately attired, the site looked like a big budget movie set with everyone strutting their stuff and looking knarly. Including yours truly swaggering and posturing. a note here; if you weren’t in costume I didn’t see you. There were a lot of touristias wondering among us that didn’t register on the visual scanners, yeah I know I’m a raging Costume Snob. I’m wondering when that occurred in my head, Oh well, I’m aware of it now.

For those of you that saw me at the years BayCon Convention, were able to witness my new shtick. That of approaching unsuspecting wenches with a lollypop in hand and saying “Piece of candy little girl?” it was a full gambit of responses to the proposition. From complete shock, to surprise and “My mommy told me never to take candy from strange men” Of course that didn’t stop most of the ladies from taking the offered treat.

Of course in you see this Old Salty Dawg also known as the Sea Lord of the BLACK FLEET, remember you’re a Pirate and must ask accordingly. Note a sample phrase  “OH my Captain may I have a sweet?”
Hey you know you want it!

Naturally I expect if your taking pictures at the event, you will share the spoils and I'll share my booty of pics.

I has spoken

El Obi Ben Juan

The Sea Lord of the BF-SPG

Oh captain, my captain, I fear I shall miss you on the morrow.... I'd love to attend, but the cost of passage from the town of Saint Joseph to Vallejo these days is too dear.

Kshandra, baby cakes you can't make it (sob) I shall shed a tear for your absence, then I shall make note that the floggings shall continue until your morale improves. Maybe you'll make it next year and get a share of the loot.

WHAT!! my own ships Doctor/Bartender is failing to make shore leave, what a sad state of affairs this is. My own personal henchman will not take a hand or share in the rape, looting and pillaging of the town. WHo's going to be carrying the booze? "Cry me a river"

Just give me a few days to over come this exhaustion and I'll have a report finished, most of us were toasted by the sun a golden brown. However my nose looks like it belongs to Rudolf the reindeer and makes me look like a wineo. Really it's just a sun burn.
