Hey Vampi,
I believe you'll have a happy answer to that question if ya watch the DVD extras! It was so amazing because it was REAL....they did it with animatronics so they were all controlled off camera....freakin' amazing results!

Good luck with that digital camera Ben.....I still can't figure mine out. The funny thing is....they put pictures on the dials to make it easier to use....but I can't remember what the pictures stand for and can't frikken see em cause they are too small. I read an article once about how to be an expert with a digital camera and the bottom line was....you need to have your buttons all memorized so that you don't need to look at them, you should be able to move them to the right locations by touch memory. ARRRRRRGH!!!

Ya know I could definely help with that...1st lesson's free!
Or just HIRE ME and I'll take photos for ya!
If I don't start charging I'll never have a pirate ship in MY backyard!

Neato--I just ran across this thread. The city I live in (or near--Charleston, SC) is rich in pirate history. There is a restaurant near here called 'Queene Anne's Revenge' , named after Blackbeard's ship. It's an 'arrrrrsome' place full of authentic pirate weapons, bottles, doubloons and other treasures, ship parts, etc. I think I've actually heard it called the largest pirvately owned collection of authentic pirate memorablia in the world, maybe?
Here's a link to their website. There is a page that has a virtual tour of some of the place. There's alot to look at there and the virt-tour really doesn't do the place much justice..guess ya'll just need to come on down and visit fer ye selves.
http://qarevenge.com/
Being a graphic artist for several resortwear companies, I have to do some pirate graphics for t-shirts a good bit, especially after a new POC movie comes out.
I'll see If I can post ye some jpegs here of some pirate design stuff soon.

very confusing movie - too many twists and turns and what plot?!?!?! but who cares!!!! Kieth Richards was MADE for his part!!!!! He was the best!!!!

He WAS made for his part.
This is just hearsay, but I heard said by a friend who is a Johnny Depp and Pirates fanatic that Johnny Depp originally patterned his Jack Sparrow look after Keith Richards. Makes sense when you think about it. When the script called for Jack's father to appear, it was only natural to call in the blueprint.

Welcome to TC and thanks for the link. Looks like more of a children's event though...and ALCOHOL-FREE...not the kind of Piratey event most of us drinkers would attend. But it looks like it is well planned, so hope ya have fun!!!
Now off to my Grog Log to figure out how to make the Grog for my next party.
