      Cat 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.

        Already made new ones.

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

            LOL!

            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.

              I 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.

                It 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.
