Spent the afternoon wi' the Capt'n tryin' to figger out how to fill up a 10' x 50' area with pirate stuff. Lots of ideers got kicked around. Tentatively would like to have a DRY RUN test setup party about 2 weeks before the event. Nothing set in concrete yet. will keep ya posted on what's going on.

Me and the capt'n is plannin' a treasure hunt raid on a couple 'o U-Haul lockers. We'll grab wot we can that'll fill up our 10x50 wi' interesting tidbits. There be a couple of antique chairs, a rocker, a harribly uncomfortable Marie Antionette type sofa, small tables and some glass show cases. Also found this exquisite hat jes waitin' fer some poor soul to fold the corners up. |

Plus enough display to fill a small table.

Mr Richard, Have ye enough display to fill the glass case in the pics?
Capt'n n I scored big on the storage lockers. 3-4 wood chairs, a writers desk, a big glass front bookcase, 100 year old trunk, Sofa, 18" glass display case, old quilt hanger,ect. Still oodles of other boxes to go thru. Everythings got a good layer 'o dust so's the air compressors gonna get a workout this afternoon.
Anyone do antique dolls? Got about $20K worth (no shyte, ask the Capt'n) of old dolls, bears, collectable toys...
pics comin', gotta downsize 'em. Back in a few minutes.

Gots a mini kid sized "Lord Fauntleroy" chair in carved wood and velvet. Perfect fer very little kids in front of the photo shoot backdrops.

Got the treasure chest cleaned up. It's about 150 years too young to be truly authentic. I thinks it'll fly. 2nd pic is the little chair perched in me computer station. Captn's raidin'foam out of a mattress yo make a thicker pad fer the Vic sofa, might even be useable LOL. The general ideer is to get enough interesting stuff packed in our area to draw people in, iffins they walk past...it be a fail. Attachments:

Found this in the Comic-Con literature and found it mildly amusing given our genre-
PIRACY
Tucson Comic-Con has a ZERO-TOLERANCE bootlegging and unlicensed materials policy. The sales and/or display of unauthorized or bootlegged material are strictly prohibited...
Please don’t be a pirate. Creators work very hard and piracy negatively affects their livelihoods.
