The Tartan Terrors Need Help

[Verlyn]

The Tartan Terrors is a music/comedy group that does a lot of shows at Ren Faires and festivals. Recently, all their gear was stolen and burned including all their kilts and instruments. I am posting this from a myspace listing asking anyone for help in recouping their losses, so if anyone is interested in helping, the links are in the post (if it works, that is).

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.<bR><bR></strong></font><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm15c3BhY2UuY29tL3RhcnRhbnRlcnJvcnM=" target=_blank><font size=4><strong><iMG alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/EaglesIs40/PA%20Ren%20Fair/IMG_0049.jpg" border=0></strong></font></a><bR><bR><font size=4><strong>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.<bR><bR>First and foremost, Todd posted over on PARenFaire.net that while they certainly don't expect donations, if anyone is inclined, [email]eterrors@yahoo.ca[/email] is their PayPal eddress.<bR><bR></strong></font><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGF5cGFsLmNvbQ==" target=_blank><font size=4><strong><iMG alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z269/louisenella/paypal_logo.gif" border=0></strong></font></a><bR><bR><font size=4><strong>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.

You get the idea.<bR><bR>I know the .netters are discussing some fundraising ideas, too. I told Ellen that the Wenches want to help, and she was incredibly grateful.

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.</font></strong></p><br /><p align=center><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="355" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/6uWEpKWxMmI&rel=1">

That stinks!! They are a great group of people.

Yeah, it really stinks. The local Ren Faire fans have gotten together and are trying to do some fund raiser help. I wish I could figure out what I did wrong on the links in my original message, but it will take some time to fix it. At least their pet dog was recovered safely.
