One more... The Queen's Bluff by Red Hawk Trading looks like a groovy little one pole shelter that might meet your needs. But I doubt that there is any documentation on the design. So the Authenticity Police might arrest you. http://www.redhawk-trading.com/Queen.htm

Looking for a basic men's shoe in BROWN. Something like the ones in the picture below, but in BROWN.If you have any leads please let me know. -CS

You might consider getting a basic two door wedge tent. You can set it up like a lean to (during the day?) or use it as a regular tent. They are available in a variety of sizes and prices. I am very fond of the shelters made by Panther Primitives. I have also heard good things about Tentsmiths as well. [Panther Primitives (you'll need to download their catalogue). http://www.pantherlodges.com/ Tentsmiths http://www.tentsmiths.com/ Jas Townsend & Son http://jas-townsend.com/index.php?cPath=19 Unless you are an exhibitionist couple I would avoid purchasing a tent made from the Sunforger canvas. -CS

What, no one will be hitting the cursed mainland over the next eight months? Maybe I'm just lazy but it seems like a lot less work than building oars from scratch -CS

I was once entertaining a stunt actress that I use to be involved with and when my neighbours dialled 911.It didn't help that she was still tied to bed when the police knocked on my door. -CS

I hope that the painter was bitch-slapped by your production designer. The other extreme would be to have every thing on the set sparkly new, have all the actors with their WHITE shiny teeth dressed in brand new , perfectly clean costumes. Then have the gaffer light the bloody thing like a Mexican soap oprea. As for the posters maybe a little dirt, creases from being mailed, a little tear here or there, a small coffee stain on one . And have some new ones that were hung on the wall the day before. You know, all that important detail so that the out of focus wall in the background will look it's very best But you are absolutley right. It's crazy to over age something that would be a new item in the time period. -CS

Walked to the video store in jeans, t-shirt, and sandals (Dallas) -CS

Anyone in the Northern Texas Republic interested in going to PIRATES IN PARADISE FESTIVAL in November 2007? I'm looking for way to haul my period camp to the site. Otherwise it's the lubber hotel for me if I be flyin'. I'm looking for someone that can get their grubby pyrate paws on a van or truck. My 79 Jeep is getting too old for long voyages. Am especially interested in travelling with some else into period camping. Ladies who look especially fetching in my camp would also be suitable I am hoping to avoid having to borrow a van from my friends in the local Chinese Mafia (I hate oweing favours with compound interest). I currently reside in Richardson but will be moving to Plano by the time of the event.That would be Dallas to all ye yankees and Left Coasters. -CS

Why not get drunk and murder a few small trees? They're cheap, period, and look great Photo by Gregory Theberge Photo unknown -CS

Captain Jim's just a little confused because you wear a dress so well. You know how lonely it can get when yer at sea fer a few months. nubbies be damnned! -CS

Am rather found of Barbancourt. http://www.barbancourt.net/barbancourt/en/.../home/home.html The first time me and me crew explored this fine beverage, I literally ended up on the roof where I was lighting bottle rockets clenched in the teeth of our production designer. Most of me mates simply refer to Barbancout as birthday rhum.Since we usually give it as a a B-day gift. -CS

Red flag eh? Always a treat to spy a wench that doesn't waste 'er time offerin' quaRter to the unlucky. Where in the Texas Empire would ye be lass? -CS

That be the spelling on the bottles of Haitian Rhum, which is my everyday rhum. -CS

I just hope that AWE isn't going to be Matrix III meets Waterworld. They started filming DMC before they even had a finished script. If there be ewoks in tricorns singing backup for K.Richards there will be hell to pay. -CS
