Not really news, but I just had to show off the talent of the Pirate Party Crew! I asked for folks to submit a Party e-flier and so far have received 4 different designs and they are all equally awesome!
Yesterday ended up being a very productive meeting for the folks representing the Pirate gathering. The good news is we have retained the big room we were initally given, so no changes this year (thus far, knock on wood!). It is still scheduled for Sunday night/11:30pm/Regency 6-7. We also made some headway with some live music and looks like we will get 2 bands that I've wanted since the beginning of planning and perhaps a 3rd but not sure on that one yet. I don't even know if we will have time for a 3rd since the Virginia Reel is getting scheduled time of its own this year.
DragonCon Tech Ops and Security have been super supportive of the Pirates and they have some fine folk serving 100 years before the mast, so I have to give a big thanks to those under appreciated groups for what they have done for us pirates both this year and last.
That's about it for the prelim stuff, we now begin the serious planning. Thanks for watching this community and be sure to ask any questions you might have or toss out any ideas you may to throw into the mix. We are still accepting donations for another 3 weeks or so if you are interested as well.
