ysobelleAs most of you know, the Tartan Terrors' Suburban and Haulmark trailer was stolen Sunday afternoon with all their gear inside. While insurance will cover some of it, there's a large portion over which they're screwed. They lost costumes, about 3,000 CDs, instruments, sound equipment, personal items, you name it. They're out about $100,000.00.
Papa Scott and I have been talking both to them and to everyone else, trying to figure out how we can help, and we have a few ideas.
First and foremost, Todd posted over on PARenFaire.net that while they certainly don't expect donations, if anyone is inclined, eterrors(at)yahoo.ca is their PayPal eddress.
Second, we're going to gather up goodies from all the PARF vendors AND ANYONE ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE, and coordinate an auction to be held on the Terrors' website. I'm going to donate a one-of-a-kind Tartan Terrors corset, Papa Scott will be making some hand-turned, exotic-wood TT pen & pencil sets. PARF will be donating some season passes. You get the idea.
I know the .netters are discussing some fundraising ideas, too. I told Ellen that the Wenches want to help, and she was incredibly grateful. I know we can all do some pretty amazing things if we put our heads together.
So if you're a vendor, or just have some really nifty stuff, please consider donating it to the Terrors. You can PM or email me, and I'll start compiling a list. Time is of the essence, as they have a huge show for the Troops coming up on the 16th, and a full schedule after that-- and no equipment or costumes with which to do them.
As ever, PLEASE CROSSPOST!
