I'll be in Louisiana TONIGHT! In Alabama at the moment on the long crawl out to PyrateCon where I'll be promoting both PyrateCon and The Pyrates Way on several media outlets from local PBS, radio and newspaper to possibly having some MAJOR TV morning show out on Friday morning to see all the pyrates!

By the time everyone arrives, The PyrateCon flag will by flying over the hotel and "wanted for pyracy" posters up in the French Quarter.

Prepare for a REAL pyrate experience as in the last few weeks, dozens of local bars and merchants have jumped on board and plan to have special prices for those dressed as pyrates and will have open arms for every hot wench.

If ye don't have fun a PyrateCon, it be your own fault, says I.

Ahoy. me hearties!

Captain Jasper and meself will be arriving during the evening of Thursday, April 17th, with plans to be set up and open for business bright and early Friday morning! Lots of new jewelry this year with plenty of it made to look like plunder. I'll also have copies of me book for sale and some of me brother's CDs. We'll also be looking to meet up with old friends and meet some new ones! Weigh anchor, ye lubbers! We're PyrateCon bound!!

I'm standing here in me booth, watching multiple Jack Sparrows (CAPTAIN!) walk by and there are two Barbarossas standing off in the corner talking and there's several of the cast of POTC and several of the folks off of PM and . . . well, you get the idea. This event is a blast and it's only Friday afternoon! The feast is tonight (even though I've been eating free rum cake all day long!) and the invasion is still to come. THREE CHEERS FOR PYRATECON!!!

I had a nightmare like that -- a bunch of Jacks all in the same place. The only place I would ever really want to see the likes of that is in a poker hand in Vegas.

Good times...

Aye, that be a nasty glare, mates. Suddenly in a fowl mood. I easily get there.

Mutiny says ye? I see no reason. KTTC I can see a mutiny as th' rules be WAY too strict there or even better a mutiny and piracy and other things against the high rise in gas prices! Mutiny against th' Pub, dear God we could do better!

Aye, I warned ye... I be in a fowl mood suddenly.

Have fun at PyrateCon all. RumbaRue... Hi. ::: Waves::: Tell Oderlesseye Happy Birthday. Hope it was celebrated in style.

Tell Bilgemunky Hi and Bilge to tell Scuttle Sally Hi.

OMG, there be SOOOO many people down there who I wish to say Hi to. ;)

I was thinking about calling Rumba... but I lost her bloody number! NNNOOOOO!!!!! ;)

Oh and as to the BARBOSSA's (not Barbarossa, different folks and spelling, mates).... be sure that one is not a woman. ;) I know that Jenn be down there and has a Barbossa like outfit. Well, at least she and perhaps another person.

I know of one Barbossa portrayer that's there. All the others were not able to attend to my understanding.

Eager to see pictures upon everyone's return.

Mutiny, ye say? For what reasons would ye want to mutiny? Are you doing so because you want to be named Captain? By all means then, sir, try yer hand at mutiny. For I am only a simple able-bodied seaman and will perform me duties for whomever the crew elects. Yer more than welcome to assume all the duties, headaches, politics, dealing with hackers that come with the running of this ship. ;)

Well, me hearties, PyrateCon is in its last day but there are still lots and lots of people wandering the booths and going to the sessions. Last night was incredible - easily 400 pirates meandering down Bourbon Street with crowds and crowds of people lining the street and cheering the invasion. It's been an incredible event this year and I invite ye all to try and get here next year! More to follow . . .
