Any Mountain Pirates?

It's probable that I'm heading up to the Big Bear Pirate Faire this weekend, just to get away, and wear my cutlass. Anyone going up?

    That's *this* weekend?

    Darnit. We have an 8th grader promoting this next week, and a marching band member doing a jog-a-thon on Saturday.

        Easy to aim your broadside at it, but towing it is something of a bitch.

          Think of all the sails you could mount, though. All those pre-built, er, grown masts...

                It is at the same location as the Renaissance Faire last year. If you don't know where that is or need actual directions than:

                Pedersen's Mill
                39115 Rim of the World
                Fawnskin, CA 92333

                  Well, we made it up on sunday but found it to be very lightly attended...apparently the gathering was in conflict with both Valhalla and Koronaberg, not to mention Ft. McArthur days. Said hello to the few, had a beer, did a little shopping and headed back down the hill. Apparently a few more of us attended on saturday. Hope they do better next year.

                      Oh, I skimmed the post elsewhere in this tribe, but didn't go beyond Saturday and Sunday. I did say "not to mention them", so maybe I shouldn't have.

                      Well, thats less of an explanation for poor turnout up in big bear.

                        Lisa and I went up on Saturday eve. and volunteered to work for Sunday. The attendance was very light on Sunday, but those of us that were there had a good time. Weather was wonderful. Very few vendors, one food vendor sold the best Fruit Smoothies ever!!!!
                        They are going to be doing a Victorian Fair Aug. 5th-6th so if you don't have anything going that weekend, might be a good time to change timeline and go play.
