The Dead Pyrates Society will be convening our next Salon on October 24th and the event will continue into Sunday October 25.
The event is open to friends and members of Westernesste who are known to us. If you would like to attend please contact Maerian via this website or at sidhevairlady@gmail.com.
The Salon will again be a catered affair with the added joy of employing Smith's Carniverous Bar and Grill as our primary caterer. Those who attended last time can affirm that this will NOT be a potluck by any means (though extra drinks of alcohol/non-alcohol sorts will not be turned away).
We will be posting the Menu shortly.
Because catering depends so much upon the size of the group, PLEASE DO RSVP so we can plan to wine and dine you all well.
Due to the distance, invitees are also welcome to arrive early (including Friday evening the 23rd) and can depart as late as you wish on Sunday the 25th or Monday the 26th.
There is ample sleeping space for those who wish to stay over (including a deck in the trees if the weather's nice). If you would prefer to stay in a local hotel on Friday or Sat. night please let Maerian know and she will soft reserve a block of rooms at a local convenient and inexpensive hotel.
Once again, this Salon will feature a significantly expanded selection of absinthes and those so inclined will have the opportunity to partake of these ritually in both the French (fountain) and Czech (flaming) manner. For those who don't like the Green Fairy we will of course have a number of non-alcohol drinks and a beer and wine bar for your enjoyment.
We will also request that you bring something creative to share. This event will again feature a bardic circle with storytelling, rants, music, etc. shared in turn. Again, it's ok to pass, or to bring the creation of someone else you admire. No one will be put on the spot...format is like "Kicks" for you Roses who know what that means. Please feel free to bring musical instruments, any props or visual pieces you wish, etc. The creations you have previously produced that are otherwise known as "children" are welcome under your supervision with the caveat that the house is not baby proofed (although we do have toys) this will go late, and is likely to be a, to quote Sir Edmund Blackadder, Big Boo's Up.
Last time the Salon featured some amazing tunes, the unparalleled storytelling of both Joey (Frogabbit) and Neal (Thrustwell), some fun rants, a really cool painting on glass from Elise, Pyrate Jenny's dad's poetry, Bach played on a beer bottle orchestra with conductor, and some truly fantastic conversation.
Works in progress, more serious rants, etc. are also invited.
Fencing equipment is also welcome and encouraged. Because of the date's proximity to Halloween/Samhain, feel free to dress up keeping in mind the following theme: pyratical, poet AND/OR Belle Epoque/Art Nouveau absintheur. Yes, this could be seen as steam punk attire. :)
