H e le n s ’ P jr a te F e s t Nothing is quite so polarizing these days as all things pirate. Somali pirates have ushered in a new age o f real pirate activities in international waters. The Pittsburgh Pirates might actually have a winning record for the first time since 1992. The Pirates o f the Caribbean franchise is both a surefire seller and a played-out theme park parody. (Don’t tell Johnny D ep p ...) Lucky us, the Sixth A nnual Portland Pirate Festival is set to drop anchor in the historic waterfront district o f St. Helens, Ore., and bring some semblance o f order to this deep sea debacle. ‘A t’s right, me mateys! Com e as ye arrr to a Labor Day weekend for the ages. Avast! Not only is the maritime-themed spectacle a fine opportunity to hone your pirate lingo (“H aw ’d you like to scrape the barnacles o ff o f me rudder?” “Aye Aye! Another cup o f grog, me hearties!”), there’s some thing for lubbers o f all ages. Live music comes from a crew o f pirate-like performers, perhaps most fittingly, Popeye-voiced eccentric and steel guitar player Baby Gram ps. Also providing the sea-farin’ soundtrack: Portland’s own Balkan-peppered gypsy-jam rockers Chervona and local rogues BilgeRats & Pyrettes, who’ll present acoustic music “to plunder by.” Suit up for a costume parade led by the Last Regiment Drummers and the Oregon Defense Force Pipe Band. All that, plus puppet shows, scav enger hunts, interactive games with the Pirates o f Puget Sound, an ap pearance by Captain Slappy and much more. Captain Slappy?! Well, blow me down!
