Anecdote

[holly_evolving]

Part the 1st: I receive a very excited email about the New Hope Chamber of Commerce Pirate Festival. I am, of course, very excited.

Part the 2nd: I get decked out in Pirate Gear that Saturday, ready to stalk the streets in search of booty.

Part the 3rd: Where are all the bloody pirates? None, not one! The staff of the Medieval Gallery simply do not count!

Part the 4th: I am sweaty and crabby, and desperately in need of food. I change out of the corseted awesomeness and into my Care Bears t-shirt, and have a lovely time, even without pillaging.

Yarr?

This happened at a recent "Pirate Party" I attended as well! Sure, there were some kids with an eyepatch, or a bandanna, or wearing something with a skull on it, but a total of FIVE people (Benjamin and I included!) got all decked out.

Luckily, it got me free Jagermeister shots. heh.

I often forget that there is very few of us in the world who leap at any occassion to dress up in fancy garb...*sigh* I wish the whole world would come out and play.

It is a crying shame that we don't live closer together. You by yourself are reason enough to get all decked out!

I totally would have been out there in garb, if Paul and I didn't have family obligations :(. It's really disappointing!

In retrospect, the first weekend of NY Renn, PennRenn, and Pennsic was probably not the best time to try this event.

Don't worry, there are plenty of successful pirate events in the area and around. I'll keep you up to date on them. Shame about New Hope.
