Airship Down for Repairs : Hunting Dragons

DragonsVsPiratesPodcast-300

It seems I forgot to post this show in time for the end of the Kickstarter. But that's okay. The album will still go on sale later this year. If you want to find out when the album will be released, please subscribe to my mailing list.

This episode, you find out about our downtime at Sherwood Forest Faire as we make repairs to our recently damaged ship. Dragon fire is pretty intense.

Don't forget to watch the Dragons vs. Pirates Continuing Story on YouTube.

Day 19. I had a great time at the Faire. Even tried out a couple of the Dragon songs I am working on for some friends of mine. They liked the music, but asked me where I had been hiding myself.

I wanted to tell them all about it, and enlist their aid in getting free of the pirates, but there was always at least one crew member in spitting distance the whole time. I tried to sing it for them, thinking maybe I could give them a hint that would be enough–but nope. I don't know if they were dense, or my song wasn't specific enough, but it didn't work. Of course, I didn't much trust the peace ties on the pirates' swords if they decided I had gone too far.

I did manage to borrow a phone charger for a few minutes, and get my phone to a state where it might be usable in a pinch. I couldn't get a full charge though, so I haven't called Gwen yet. I am saving it for an emergency–and I am also hoping for one of those dragon photos…

It was a grand time, but it didn't last long enough. The pirates only gave me an hour or so of relative freedom before they bustled me off into the woods behind the property and hog tied me, gagged me, and carried me off to the ship again to work on repairs. I was terrible at it, but at least I got some exercise out of it. It's hard to stay in shape when your ship is a mile in the air.

Still, I grabbed a turkey leg while I was at Faire, and some little mementos for Gwen and Kelsie. When I do get home, they will know I was thinking of them.

We were able to repair the ship by nightfall–turned out not to be as bad as we had feared. A good night's rest in the clearing where we had put down, and we were off again first thing next morning.
