RYAN'S PIRATE PARTY!

So...you guys know about how Ryan Keely's all hooked on comics and shit, right? It's fuckin' awesome. She's constantly tweeting about her reading habits, and it's just about always something bitchin' like Preacher, Transmetropolitan and other great comics from the past decade that haven't yet been topped (and perhaps never will). If that weren't enough, she's throwing an extra treat at the nerd/porno-loving crowd later this week - a pirate themed birthday booze-a-thon that just so happens to coincide with the San Diego Comic Con (which, to those of you who aren't in the know, is the comic-con to end all comic-cons. Not like the shitty, yet still awesome, one we have here in Philly).

See, this Thursday is Miss Keely's birthday and she wants to make it a memorable one. And it's also the opening day of the convention. So if you find yourself in the San Diego area (which I fucking won't be), you can spend your day grooving out to special creator spotlights on folks like Lenil Yu (who drew the highly-anticipated, but sort of disappointing Secret Invasion series), Brian Lee O'Malley (creator of the ultra-fucking-great Scott Pilgrim series), Kevin Eastman (creator of the violent Ninja Turtles, who later went on the enjoy lots of pizza, party with Vanilla Ice and travel back in ~~time~~ "tyme") and Bill Sienkewicz (also known as the greatest comic book artist in the history of comic book art. See Daredevil: Love and War and Elektra: Assassin for proof, you bitch-ass suckas!). You can also preview Terry Gilliam's new movie, which sounds pretty fuckin' boss, given the fact that the cast features Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits and a not-yet-dead Heath Ledger!

Then , when nighttime rolls around, you can put down your new Cerebus omnibus and head on over to The Turf Club, where the boozing will begin. Then when that place gets lame, which will probably happen pretty quick, the whole "pillaging party" will up and move on to the next spot. Booze (and coke, if you fuckers know what's good for you) will escort the crew across town until everyone ends up in the Gas Lamp district (a place which I know absolutely nothing about), where we assume there will be, you know, more booze and coke. And maybe a roundtable discussion debating the finer points of Preacher's "Alamo" storyline.

Oh yeah...about that "pillaging party" thing. The shindig is pirate themed. As in "pirate attire is REQUIRED". So get your puffy shits out of the closet. Dust off your rapiers. Buy a parrot. Cut off the bottom half of one of your legs and attach a piece of wood in it's place. Because if you're gonna have a pirate party with sombody like Ryan Keely, you wanna do it right.

And don't forget about Ryan's awesome scene with Bobbi Starr in our well-reviewed and inexpensive movie. Seriously, it's pretty boss.
