Subject: Props still needed

The Knight of the Burning Pestle is coming along, but we still need a
bunch of props. I've dealt with a number of them, but the following are
still being sought:

-- Chairs. Several people are going to be up on stage for a couple of
   hours, sitting. Therefore, we need several chairs that are a) decently
   comfy, and b) plausibly period-looking. They don't have to be perfect
   replicas of Elizabethan chairs, but something that looks more period
   than a modern director's chair would be a Very Good Thing.

-- An easel. This will be holding title cards. Again, it doesn't have to
   be perfectly period, but shouldn't look too blatantly modern.

-- A "bodacious hanky". Suffice it to say, one of the characters is the
   fop's fop. We're looking for a handkerchief, preferably fairly large
   and frilly, for "him" to wave around...

-- Several small coin pouches. Nothing fancy, but if you've got a small
   belt pouch you could loan us, we can use it.

-- A pipe.

-- A half-helmet. I'm not looking for an SCA list-legal helm here, but
   rather for something that sits on top of the head reasonably well,
   but leaves the mouth and ears clear. Silly-looking things with horns
   will be seriously considered.

-- A copper basin. Smallish preferably, but with some sort of handle I
   can hang it from.

-- A couple of big beer steins.

-- Guns. I've got a couple of leads already, and I hope they pan out, but
   just in case: I'm still trying to get my hands on several period-looking
   guns. We need at least three.

-- Powder horns (to go with the guns). If you have a drinking horn you
   could lend, tell me -- we can probably adjust it sufficiently to look
   good enough.

-- Pikes, halberds, that sort of thing. They don't have to be real (or in
   great condition) -- they just need to look reasonably nasty.

If you can give me any help with any of these items, *please* contact me
ASAP. We're getting down to the wire, here...

				   3 weeks and counting...
