Again I was able to return to the Maryland Festival in Crownsville for their Pirate Weekend. However this trip was in the aftermath of the evil Hurricane Isabel. Fortunately the damge was not too bad the weather eventually became nice with only Saturday's attendance being affected. In spite of the weather, the festival still put on a good show with its wide variety of acts and performers. I got to experience some new acts like Swami Yomahmi and revisit ones I missed last season including Shakespeare's Skum. I still somehow ended up with a crowded agenda but I made sure to make room for all my favorite piratical acts. After all what would have been the point of coming.
