planning ahead (Arr, matey!)
For those of you who look forward to International Talk Like A Pirate Day as much as I do, you will be pleased to know that this year we'll be doing someting special. Yes, I know, we already have a special Pirate Treasure theme for the Beads of the Months, and I do usually make some pirate-themed shinies, but this is more and better, at least if you live or work in the Twin Cities metro area or have friends and dear ones who do.

This year, there will be a bit of a sale in September, and there will be a very special one-time delivery option offered: your package can be delivered by pirate! Yep, on September 19th, a pirate in full regalia will deliver your purchase to any address in the Twin Cities metro area that we can reasonably get to. Delivery times have not yet been determined, but we aim to make this available to those of you who would love to have a pirate come to your office on Friday to bring you a bag of loot. Send goodies to your Twin Cities friends! (We might even have a BotMo delivery-by-pirate option that month; watch and see!)

Arr!

(Yeah, I know, it's very silly indeed, but I cannot resist. And Daniel assures me he can score a pirate hat. We'll post photos as we get closer to time, so you can see what you'd be getting. Wait, that came out wrong. Oh, well, you know what I mean. We'll even send along a little bit of loot for your office mates. Don't forget to tip the pirate, now. Arr!)

I kind of want to move out there just so that I can have pirate booty delivery.

I tend to flee from ITLAPD, but pirate delivery? That is brilliant.

If for any reason Daniel has trouble acquiring that hat, I know a guy....

Gave my pirate coat to Sarah Monette, because it looked so good on her in the author photo.
