** Ol' Chumbucket Reading from Chrissie on TLAPDay 




If you're in the New Orleans area or anywhere close at 6 p.m. Monday – Talk Like a Pirate Day – come join me at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore, 3721 Veterans Blvd., Metairie, for some fun. I'm going to read from my novel, "Chrissie Warren: Pirate Hunter," and I'll take part in some other activities, including reading one of my favorite kid's books – Melinda Long's "How I Became a Pirate," with those great illustrations by David Shannon. It's free and open to the public. It'll be a fun way to cap this yer's Talk Like a Pirate Day celebration and we hope to see you there. 




If you're in the area – and I mean within, say, eight hours drive, it'll be THAT good – come on out for the fun!

** Talking Like a Pirate in Tokyo 




This is – different. Got a message from a group calling itself "Japan's leading pirates – Smile Pirates!" They wanted to get in on the fun of Talk Like a Pirate Day. We're not sure what to make of this, but we're pretty sure you'll enjoy the novelty of this short video.

** Raffle in St. Augustine 




The St. Augustine Swashbucklers in Florida are holding a Talk Like a Pirate Day raffle that includes some fabulous swag, including a two-gallon barrel with a spigot. I want it! (And you can buy tickets via email.) They've got events slated for the whole weekend, including a treasure hunt throughout downtown St. Augustine, a screening of "The Goonies"and much more. You can find out about it at www.facebook.com/groups/thestaugustineswashbucklers. 




All proceeds will fund Hurricane Hermine relief.

** Gettin' yer electronics to growl 




You probably know all about how you can set your Facebook settings to display everything in what the FB overlords think is pirate. (If you don't, it's in "Settings." You'll figure it out.) Now you can get the same sass when you check the weather. 




The folks who brought you the iPhone app, "Weather or Not," have a 99-cent pirate-theme you can download. "Weather or Not" takes all that meteorological mumbo jumbo and distills it down to a simple message in big block text. "Tomorrow will be more rainy than today" or "Tomorrow will be cooler than today." 




With the pirate theme, it says "Tomorrow be more rainy than today" over a skull and crossbones backdrop. 




And of course there are plenty of other apps for turning a quick pirate phrase, or playin' a piratey game, or learning bits of buccaneer lore. It's all online at your favorite app store.

** Freebooter Fashion 




There's a pirate fashion show on the books for TLAPDay weekend. Head out to the Crab Shack on Tybee Island in Georgia from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday. The event features live models and authentic pirate-themed items from The Pirate Store and Anastasia Designs from Florida. No tickets are required for entry and a cash bar and dining are available as well. 




Whether you're planning to go to the Tybee Island Pirate Fest Oct. 6-9, or any other buccaneer bash in the coming year, or just like swashing your buckle, this is your chance to find some fashion with a freebooter flavor.
