Also, at the RESCU Rally Saturday night, Commedia had 2 signs taken (They were used as props by the fabulous and sexy Alejandra at the Rally) and her mug disappeared also. Please return those, as well. Thanks. -

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 10:38 AMI think the problem is we had a LOT of non family, and for the only time this run lots of people on site after hours who are normally not there.

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 11:56 AMCat is in fact correct.
At some point between closing on Saturday and opening on Sunday, someone stole most of the signs that we use for our show.
They took:
A one sided "Parental Advisory: We Say Fuck" sign, approx. 3'x2', design similar to "parental advisory" stickers.
A series of smaller, approx. 2'x1.5' signs, reading "Crap", "Damn", "Shit", "Cock", "Pussy (Meow)" and two signs reading "Bitch".
As you can imagine, the report we filed with Security is a rather amusing read.
We're currently willing to believe that this was just a drunken idiocy. It happens. I woke up with a stop sign next to my bed one morning.
I'm personally requesting word be put out that we just want them back. If they're back at the Reef before our first set on Saturday, nothing further needs to be said. Stupid crap happens, life moves on.
If they are not returned, after Saturday at 11 AM I'd request everyone please keep an eye out for the signs and if they are spotted, report the thief to anyone not otherwise busy with a radio. We've filed a report on this with REC, they'll be able to get them back to us.
Thank you, everyone. -

Just need to write "Stolen from Commedia" on the back of all of 'em. -

You know, over the years I have seen faire signs pop up in strange places. I saw one that said "smoke ye not" at a swap meet. I was at one of those merchants that buy out abandoned storage units and sell those things. I found one of those round ribbon hangy things and a couple of signs. One said "would you be a wench?" I don't recall what the others said.
Gosh people it's not that hard to just buy a piece of wood and paint your own. There's no talent to it.
I hope they find the signs - regardless of whether they were remade at this point or not. It's the POINT of it all. -

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 8:59 PMI just wish who ever had taken them had done something creative with them.
Screw 'em to the top of our shade polls. Build a Stonehenge monument out of 'em. Build a raft out of 'em and set them afloat on the lake. Epoxy them to our hooch wall.
Anything.
Then we could look at it and say, "yeah, that's funny," grab a screwgun (or a crowbar) and get on with the show.
THAT I would respect (and find out who it is and get them back).
But just take them?
(and no, Jose, that's not an invitation.)
Lame. -

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 9:22 PMIt sounds a lot like what the ale stand were doing to each other last year- stealing and holding hostage each other's deco. Some of it was never returned and found, like the big sign for White Hart.

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 9:54 PMI have heard stories... Legends of course... of some group of people... no idea who they were... who managed to fly one of the Pirate flags from the ale stand on the old ship that was on the lake... flew for an entire day before anyone knew.
But of course.. those were only rumors... noone "I" know would have ever done anything like that..

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 8:22 AMExactly.
If they turn up in photos from the Beijing Olympics and submerged under the Maui Glass-Bottomed Boat Cruise, there could be style points.
But I think it's time to face up to the possibility that someone at Faire may be using them to homeschool their kids. -

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 12:18 AMI once heard of tales of Mermaids swimming back to shore, and back to their perches in an ale stand. Stories of wild rides on many modes of transportation in the dark, some including sports that should never be tried down Jeweler's Row. And a bunch of junk on Suzanne but I am not talking!!!
Damn I wish I had gotten to those signs first so much fun to be had, wasted on a fool! Give back the signs but post good photos! -

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 8:46 AMWell, it just goes to show that being "World Famous" has it's price. Next they'll be stealing clothing items ... and they'll end up selling Stu's undershorts at Sotheby's on auction for thousands and thousands of dollars ... -

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!

DO return their signs, whoever has them.

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 9:56 AMAnd thank you - the signs were returned.
Drunken hijinks - though sadly lacking in funny - are suspected.
'nuff said. On to closing weekend! -

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 9:58 AMYay! I'm glad they found their way home. (And you have a spare set now!)
On a more personal note, I hope you're feeling better, Lurch!

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!

(ours are still missing, and that's lame) -

Re: Boggard Signs - MISSING!!
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 1:13 PMThat IS lame. I'm glad the Boggard signs were returned. Now, whoever has the Commedia signs needs to return them.
