Planning

Aug. 29th, 2006 at 11:41 AM

So, this Monday, September 4th, is Pirate Day. I, and others, will be going to The Pirate Festival.

We need to work out a time to go - it's open from 10am to 7 pm. I'm thinking early afternoon, maybe 1 or 2 pm arrival time?

We need to work out how we're getting there - directions can be found here and here (note the second link says something about there not being parking during the Pirate Festival). I am thinking the Bathurst street car sounds like a good route down, at least for us locals. Do we want to meet up somewhere first and stage a take-over of a streetcar en masse, or go the easier-on-logistics route of just meeting up down there?

mycrazyhair, do you have something we can use as a flag pole for the Jolly Roger? If not I'll find something before Monday.

Sounds good to me. I am planning to go as a ninja personally, only I'm gonna be a ninja disguised as a pirate! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Meaning I will wear a pirate costume that can be transformed INTO a ninja costume once I'm in. Take THAT pirate festival!

Ah. So you've heard the bit about them charging extra for ninjas, yes? Thus the disguise?

Yes. That and the fact that we ninjas are masters of disguise and love to trick and confuse lowly pirates!

1. I'm in.

2. If

whynotsteve is too, we'll have a car. If not, I'll have to check with him.

3. I have both a flag and a flagpole. But I'm only bringing them if you promise to carry them if (1) I get embarrassed or (2) it gets too heavy for me.

You sound bummed in your post today (which is protected, and which I thus cannot post anonymously to). Would it help to know someone thinks you're very sexy, and would like to play jump-the-bones with you?

Well, if nothing else, trying to figure out who you are is going to keep me distracted for a good while. :)

Not going to do anything sneaky or easy and just turn on the IP tracking, are you? That wouldn't be much of a challenge. :)

Knowing your ISP doesn't help nearly as much as knowing who could see the other post you referred to, though it does filter out a few of the international folks.

Yes. Of course you then also have to hope I'm not someone who was reading over someone's shoulder...:D

(I'm not - that would make it unfairly impossible)

So, I'm left with trying to deduce who you are from a) the list of people who could see that post, b) the list of people who might use that ISP, and c) the people I know who would use the phrase "play jump the bones".

Hmm.

(And then there's always "if I figure it out, what do I *do* to the person in question?")

So it seems. And if it helps, I don't use my ISP in any e-mail addresses you'd have access to or heard of, or could find with a search.

I should have known better, really, than to try and play when I'd been seeking pain relief.

Sigh, and it was so much fun, too. :)

I am 98% sure that Alain and i will be joining - arrr, there be pirates!

we have a car too, but it is probably cheaper to TTC due to the Ex. Was there a decision on time?

My fiat of "early afternoon - 1-2ish" is as close as we got to a decision. Just down somtime around then, and we can coordinate via cell phones.

So exactly what time are we meeting exactly where? I THINK you said your place early afternoon (I think one o'clock) but confirmation would be nice. Also, I definitely need to figure out an outfit that will be warm enough despite the rain. I shall have to give this some thought.

Meeting at our place is prolly simplest, yes. Around one o'clock should be about right, and you can, if need be, go through our closets for something warm and piratey, and to check out stuff for next weekend.
