After an exciting incident with scones and a wooden chair at the Royal Peacock Tea Room, and in an effort to decrease rail and bannister-related injuries, I recently assumed the position of INSPECTOR with the Bureau of Renaissance Festival Inspections and paid a visit upon the Georgia Renaissance Festival and am pleased to announce that Continue Reading

Renaissance at the Georgia Renaissance Festival

2016-05-11-garf-map_001

As a skilled attendee of the Georgia Renaissance Festicle (GARF) I would like to share with the world at large my excitement at the genuine effort the owners have been putting into spiffing the old place up and marketing her to Atlanta – there’s been a literal “renaissance” at this year’s Renaissance Festicle. In years past GARF’s television spots featured some other bunch of renfest actors from some other faire – this year the spots have featured the actual Georgia cast – and those spots are running online as well – I see them on Facebook every day and have scored discounts to GARF from those online ads when they feature discount codes like Continue Reading

When Henry Met Louis

Captain Drew, on his eternal quest for revenge against the Beach Boys, recently signed up for a Memorial Day weekend cruise to Aruba, Jamaica, Bermuda and Bahama, with a stopover in 16th century England where he happened to catch a most unlikely encounter between King Henry VIII and Le Roi, the time-traveling Sun King, better known as Louis XIV of France. What a load of commas.

The 1534 Census

When you’re a busy space pirate you always run the risk of being disenfranchised from local politics due to your frequent absences from the planet, which is why it’s so vitally important to mail in your census information to the Kingdom (so that you may be better taxed). Fortunately, the King has been thoughtful enough to send ’round his own Tax Collector to gather census information from those too busy (or illiterate) to fill out the proper paperwork. Here you’ll see him interviewing Captain Drew for the 1534 census!

Wicked Pete vs Captain Drew

This past weekend Wicked Pete Speakeasy caught Captain Drew loitering in New Castle, leading to a nasty game of Salt, Slug, Foot between the two. Fortunately for you, it was captured on magnetic media.

Pirate Chain Letter

Pirate Chain Letter

The bearded pirate merchant in this photo named “Captain Matt” went to a place called The Georgia Renaissance Festival. While there he was seized with a desire to record the moment, so he asked his friends to take his photo on this very spot. However, as he be a right bastard of a pirate, he’d already slain his entire crew (with the exception of a goat named “Pierre” and a moldy bar of Continue Reading

Intertwined

In Captain Drew’s brief but astonishing career no finer band has crossed the dusty boards of the Brewer’s Pub stage than a trio of traveling minstrels what go by the name of “Three Quarter Ale“. The musical alchemy of Ariana Pellayle, Rosemary Quench and Wicked Pete Speakeasy delivers Renalicious gold, set after set, week after week, festival after festival. And once, once in a very blue moon, they produce a new album. Don’t look now, but there be a blue moon shining on a fantastic new album what be called “Intertwined”. Order the well-produced CD from CD Baby or a virtual copy from iTunes so you can put it on your rPod today! Continue Reading

Wine, Woman & Song @ Georgia Renfest!

Aye!! It be true, the group Wine, Woman and Song will return to the Georgia Renaissance Festival’s Brewer’s Pub for a special weekend appearance this Saturday and Sunday, May 19th and 20th. Longtime favorites at the Renaissance Festival, the group’s deep library of songs, terrific harmonies and commanding stage presence paved the way for many of the music groups who play the Georgia Festival today. Led by the buxom Pubmistress Naughty Nellie Peachbottom, WW&S also enjoys the vocal talents of the esteemed tights-wearing Concord Grapellwyn and the instrumental wizardry of Renwick Sangster. Whatever it takes to attend, don’t miss this limited appearance, you won’t be disappointed!!
