For all your pirate-supply needs

While in Berkeley, last night, I met an employee of 826 Valencia, a project of 1999/2000-era literary it-boy Dave Eggers. Apparently it combines a writing workshop center with eccentric retail. In this case, that eccentric retail sells pirate supplies, along with various indie-publishing projects (Flak Magazine's print edition was nowhere to be seen, however). I did always wonder where pirates got their clothes and peg-legs from. Be sure to check out the fashion eyepatches (in your choice of colors).

Others have decided to export the idea to Park Slope, Brooklyn with 826NYC, featuring a superhero supply store.
