Free Comic Book Day and other unbogus holidays
Everyone likes to make fun of the fabricated holidays that dot the calendar--the ones made up by greeting card companies, marketing firms, or competing religions. But there are actually some new ones I can get behind. Just a few weeks after Record Store Day (April 18--the third Saturday of April) came Free Comic Book Day (today--the first Saturday of May). Our neighborhood shop Secret Headquarters had a Love & Rockets comic on its giveaway table. Cool! Next up, I can't wait for Go Skateboarding Day, which is coming up (June 21, also my sister's birthday and usually the summer solstice). After that, it's gonna a long wait until World Vegetarian Day (October 1). Maybe we should do something on Joe Strummer's Birthday (August 21)?

Does anyone know if Talk Like A Pirate Day is going to be this year?
I was thinking there was a World Rice Day, but it turns out I was thinking of a World Food Awareness day (16 Oct) which featured rice a few years ago.
Local Record Store day was pretty great, but I didn't end up buying anything that day.
