A Visit With the Sailors

So I figured if I'm going to keep this fairly up to date I should post some about my visit with the sailors in Erie.  I drove up last Friday to Erie, PA to visit my brother.  It was about a two and a half hour drive, not bad.  His tallship, The Pride of Baltimore II, was going to be in port for a festival.  I took the trek up and made sure I had space on my memory card for tons of photos!

My scuzzy pirate brother polishing the brass.

I, of course, had to call my brother a 'scuzzy pirate' when I saw him.  He is far from a pirate.  He and his shipmates get upset when they're called pirates, because they're privateers.  It's quite amusing.

I must admit, I was somewhat jealous of my brother and all the other tallship sailors.  I could definitely see myself working on one some day.

Partying with sailors was quite an adventure.  I was able to compare partying with sailors versus partying with rennies.  I must admit, the sailors don't seem to party as hard.  Though I know I didn't see them at their party best.

While we're on the topic of parties...Funky Formal is tonight.  The theme is 'Go Go Glow Psychedelic 60's'.  I will be wearing my new tall heeled boots [hopefully I won't kill myself up and down steep hills], my orange and black tights [if i can find them], a short black skirt, a white tank with a geometric crazy coloured net overshirt.  There will be blacklights and glowsticks.  I will be drinking lots of vodka!  Alright you two watchers...be jealous as I'm off to party hard with rennies.  <3
