Heading to Las Vegas for a Wonderful Italian Dinner Tomorrow

Tuesday, April 7, 2009

There is a place that my travel partner and I enjoy eating every time we visit Las Vegas. Even if we're just passing through, we stop here to eat. It's a casino right along I 15 in the heart of Vegas that serves the best Italian cuisine. The name always escapes me so I'll take a photo this time and share it with you. The dinner includes pasta with a huge bowl of salad that can be refilled, whole bulbs of roasted garlic and home baked bread.

My mouth is already watering!

Pirates and Ghosts and Writers, Oh My!

Saturday, March 28, 2009

You all know how much I adore the pirates and that I have many pirate friends. Now you may not be as familiar with my fascination with ghosts. Well, it goes to say that if you're mingling with pirates that you'll run into your fair share of ghosts. I love ghosts! We'll talk more about them later, and my close encounters of the etherical kind.

As for writers, where do they fit into this threesome? Well, I am a writer. I'm a freelance creative writer, a blogger, and a ghost writer who happens to be a pirate queen. Aha! You figured out the connection.

Good news, I've been chosen to write on a renaissance blog. That is a sheer delight! I might be buying lots of new costumes this season. Check out the Renaissance Model and tell them Ren Faire Reese sent ye!

I'm traveling to higher ground. The rains in Texas have been torrential and its a little hard to keep me long skirts dry in the mud. Will you meet me in New Mexico?

Memories of Pirate Fests and Faires Past

Friday, February 13, 2009


There is a time and a place for everything, I was taught. Since I am in search of current events regarding Pirate Festivals and Faires, I thought it only fittin that I feature a Memories of Pirate Fests and Faires Past. Send your event to the Pirate Memories Hall of Fame.

Join the folks from the northern California Pirate Festival held in Vallejo. The above video is compliments of http://www.youtube.com/user/wendywllms.

I have friends who lurk the pirate circuit but they also go to another type of gathering in the woods. I'll be featuring my friends the rainbow gathering pirates in an upcoming post. They became land lubbers for a couple weeks in Oregon in 2007 while the ship they normally sail the high seas in was being scrubbed and decked and ready for her next debut.

The pirate camp in the Ochoco National Forest cooked a hearty scurvy stew and kept all the crews well fed. They shared their stories and songs around the campfire at night and gave us all a great time. AAAAARRRRRRRHHHH!!!! was their favorite expression. I can't wait to find all those great photos to share so I can tell you all about them.
