ARRR! The Mass Media Be Noticin' Me At Last

[filkertom]

Third, I'm in the Ann ARRRbor News (on the front page of the dead tree edition, no less). And, as jrtom (a couple of threads ago) and Debbie G. (in e-mail) noted, I'm actually invoked by Reuters.

ARRR! Remember that, as of midnight, the official chanty for Talk Like A Pirate Day will be free, free, gloriously free!

ETA: I fixed the link. PLEASE tell me about such things in e-mail, mmkay?

The Reuters link is broken; check your syntax in the A tag.

My work sent out an email, it included a link to your song and a notice that we would be observing this holiday this year. For some reason we're doing it on Thursday though...

I can't believe it. I nearly fell over at my cube.

The Reuters link is broken; it has quoted quotes inside it.

I've added these references to the Wikipedia article about you. Perhaps I'm overreacting to the recent attempt to delete the article, but it can't hurt.

Hah, that's the first thing I thought of, Reuters reference for Wikipedia!

*grin* I meant to tell ye about that this mornin' when I got the Gogle Alert (the only way I can keep up with this stuff...) but I've been too busy updating the Web site. We mention it here.

The Reuters piece is a bit of a cheat - the reporter appears to have cribbed it entirely from our site - but what the hell, any publicity is better than no publicity at all!

Back to updating. The rest of you can party, but this is *work* for me! (-:

A little for me as well. If you like, you can post on the main site that the album track will be FREE as of midnight EDT, so any money they pay will be supportin' the ARRRtist.

Tom! Awesome!

Arrrr! And to think I knew you when!

Squeee! I've sent that out to just about everyone I know :) Hopefully there will be some new fans :D

You know fandom has gone over into mainstream media when kid's programming (specifically, Noggin - Nickelodeon's preschool channel) is running Pirate programming all day tomorrow, to celebrate Talk like a Pirate day.

I heard the promos and almost fell over. I'll let you know if they play the theme song (I doubt it, but they keep surprising me...)

Sharon tells me that she was listening to WJR on Wednesday, and heard a report that not only mentioned your name, it played bits of the song.
