I went to Pirate Fest in Vallejo, California last weekend and it was soooo much more crowded than last year. People also came wearing more authentic costumes, which was a breath of fresh air. People are getting back to liking Pirates of the Caribbean. I am already super obsessed, but the experience was awesome. I have been going to pirate fest for two years (this being my second year). I think it's great that people like pirates again. No one is as obsessed as me, because most people have lost the magic...not me. I'm still in love!
