MONDAY, September 19th at 7:00pm: AVAST! THERE BE PIRATE (George)!

The Fleets In!

Cap'n R. Dismantled and The Dread Pirate Caledonia Skytower, celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day with 100w Stories from the "George" canon. Or is that "cannon"?

George the Landlubber

by Laurence Simon

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
He was completely clueless when it came to the jargon of his profession.
For example, he had no idea what “landlubber” meant.
Was it a parrot species?
Maybe it was some kind of sea monster, he thought.
But then, why would his crewmates be calling all the townspeople that?
Or, for that matter, George , when he screwed something up really badly.
At the next port, he went to the library, and he asked for a Pirate-to-English dictionary.
“You are a total landlubber,” said the librarian, and threw George out.

WEDNESDAY, September 18th at 7pm: TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE PIRATE DAY!

In one of the many Seanchai Library traditions, it is that time again. As we crack open the door to the High Story Season, we begin with a fanciful embrace of the buccaneer mythos - PIRATES! Thursday is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, after all!

"Pirates are hearty

They’re bluff and they’re loud

They’ll always have fun

On their own or in crowds

"Some have an eye patch

And some have a hook

In place of the hand

That a crocodile took

"They’re usually friendly

Despite all your fears

But if you should cross them

They’ll cut off your ears . . ."

Tonight we share everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. Everything from the madcap George the Pirate Stories, to a selection from Rafael Sabbatini's Captain Blood, to The Flying Dutchman.

R. Crap Mariner, Corwyn Allen, Da5id Abbot, Zander Greene, and Caledonia Skytower, live in Voice at The Pirate Cove.

TUESDAY, September 19th: International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

It's Finally Here!  And we have two sessions featuring original works to celebrate the day:

@ 7PM: GEORGE WAS A PIRATE...
R. Crap Mariner's "Pirate George" canon of 100w stories have become a favorite at Seanchai Library.  Beginning just about a year ago, George has had all manner of misadventure, in story after story.  Tonight Corwyn, Faerie, Kayden, and Caledonia will bravely share George's various pirate adventures, selected randomly from the "George stories," and read "cold" - with no advanced preparation.  

@ 8:30PM: METEOR MAGS: Hang My Body on the Pier

In “Hang My Body on the Pier”, a pirate queen's memoirs tell of her rise to power at the end of the golden age of Atlantic piracy. Orphaned, young Magdalena joins a pirate crew that carves a path of destruction along the coast of colonial America.  But as she matures and can no longer pass for a male, she realizes that a woman's place is in the captain's chair. There’s just one thing she needs to do before she can get her own ship… Steal a whole lot of money!

Mags is regular at Seanchai Library events, but this will be the first time she's risen out of the chairs as an author to share this story.  Come along and learn more.  You can also read along with a PDF you can download free of charge from the author at: https://app.box.com/s/3j34gz13xifli542h55pt7r33rojqnjx

Both stories live, in voice.
