Edited by Ol' Chumbucket In this issue: ** You're Invited to the Pirate Party of the Year! ** T-Shirts Celebrate 20 Years of 'Aarrr!' ------------------ ** You're Invited to the Pirate Party of the Year! One month until International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and because this is the 20th anniversary of the event coming to the world's attention, we're planning a party And you're invited. We hope our pirate friends and family will join us from 6 to 9 p.m. at Kells Brewery, 210 NW 21st Ave, Portland, OR, for music, shenanigans and sea stories as we raise a tankard or two in honor of our favorite holiday, the day when every man, woman and child on the planet is invited to talk like a pirate for the sheer, anarchic fun of it. We certainly understand that most of our friends in the far flung corners of the pirate community might not be able to attend a party taking place in Portland, so we're bringing the event to you. The 20th anniversary TLAPDay party will be livestreamed from northwest Portland to the world! In the next day or two there will be a post on Facebook with more details on how to take part, and I'll send a link as soon as it's up. Cap'n Slappy and meself will be joined by the maritime musical mayhem of our friends, the Bilge Rats & Pyrettes. There also will be a way for people to record a short video message to us ? whether a fond memory, a congratulatory epistle, or a blistering buccaneer billet-doux ? that will be included in the program. We especially want to thank two noted Northwest freebooters, Dan "Ragnar 'Redgoat' MacHaggis" Clark and Mark "Topknot" Axton for arranging the event and making it possible for all of us to observe this important day in history. We will have more to report on the event as the date comes closer, so keep a weather eye on your in-box and we'll keep ya up to date on our plans. ------------------ ** T-Shirts Celebrate 20 Years of 'Aarrr!' We?ve posted some new T-shirts online so that you can celebrate the 20th anniversary of International Talk Like a Pirate Day. With the holiday fast approaching, you don?t want to miss the chance to get your shirt in time. The banner with a skull and two sets of crossed bones (because XX is 20 in Roman numerals) is available on three different designs: One marking the holiday itself, one with the motto ?Through Storm and Strife, Pirate for Life,? and the third advising others to choose wisely between being pirate or prey. And they?re all available in a variety of styles and colors. You can find them online at our Cafe Press store ? [ https://www.cafepress.com/talklikeapirate | https://www.cafepress.com/talklikeapirate ] Don?t miss out on the chance to celebrate in style. Twenty years. Wow. It?s been a long, fun journey, and we wouldn?t have made it here without the many friends we?ve met along the way. Cap?n Slappy and I just want to thank everyone for making it possible. What a great ride. What great friends. You'll be hearin' from me soon! Ol' Chumbucket, ed. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
