Dickens looms

[ragani]

I have completed my workshops, received costume approval and acquired my gate pass and parking pass for Dickens. I stopped by the Cow Palace and was pleased to find that the booth was making decent progress due to DB actually hiring a carpenter to do the set-up. She (the carpenter) should be finishing up on the construction today, which means the next stage can start tomorrow. I will be on site tomorrow painting most of the day, and Anna will be coming by this weekend to put the finishing touches on the booth with lots of deco.

By the way, both chaosloom and I are playing book characters this year (in addition to my managing the coffee shop again). They are both from Our Mutual Friend and are fairly small roles (especially mine). I am playing Miss Pleasant Riderhood, and chaosloom is playing Mr. Venus, an articulator of bones (aka a taxidermist), as well as my suitor. He will be concocting ways in which he will be proposing to me throughout the run of fair, and may be interested in some co-conspiritors in his plots.

If you have a desire to "play" some with me while I am in character (which should be most times I am not in the coffee shop, and even while I am in the shop, as long as I am not too busy) address me as Miss Riderhood, (or Miss Pleasant to those who are more known to me) and know that I have a small Leaving Shop (pawn shop) down by the docks where I usually find ways to help sailors part with their valuables and wages. For, sailors to be got the better of, were essential to Miss Pleasant's Eden.

I would love to have people come try to pawn small items, especially sailor related, as well as try to buy back items that they have pawned. Also, I may have some actual items for which you can buy, as Lynn Combs has been gracious enough to "loan" me some of the small prop items she sells at the haberdashery, such as non-functioning pocket watches and the like.

'appy Christmas!

Talk to us scum Saturday. Fagin is a fence, but his character is kind-of proscribed in his actions. It'll be good to have someone else to sell to, especially for our mudlarks.

We'll probably be knee-deep in Sal's decoration.
