In a few weeks the city I live in will be hosting our annual Pirate Festival. There will be a sailing ship cruising up and down the channel blasting off cannons, with a shore battery firing back. There will be Redcoats and Militia with their muskets. There will be sword fighting, both demonstrations and lessons. There will be live bands, both electric and wandering minstrels. There will be many booths where almost anything is for sale. There won't be any rum for sale, but there will be plenty of ale! And turkey legs and meat pies. Also it is rumored that some of the cast of the PotC movies will be there this year.
Last year approx 30,000 people showed up over three days. There are larger Festivals, but not many. In Devon 1,700 people dressed up. We aim to beat that mark.

ahoy! I don't know when it will be made official or what the final count will be. They didn't sell any rum there, :j3 but there was plenty of ale. My favorite is something called India Pale Ale. 
Today we were walking along, enjoying the sights when we were rousted by soldiers bringing a prisoner to trial. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time. :j2 The prisoner was a woman named Bonney something, or something Bonney. They said they were going to hang her, but she pled her belly. She was pregnant! So she did not swing this day. 
: Seems there's a cloud of dihydrogen whatsit headed to the west coast from those bloody reactors in Japan. Methinks it's high time somebody just step in and take over! Stupid Tepco! What are they? Dow Chemical?
