• Tim Burton's Dark Shadows Coming to the Big Screen

  A big-screen adaptation of the cult 1960s gothic soap opera Dark Shadows will be the next project for Tim Burton after Alice in Wonderland confirms producer Richard D. Zanuck in an interview withCollider. The groundbreaking series featured all manner of supernatural creatures from vampires and werewolves to witches and zombies and beyond over the course of its 1,225 episodes, so there is no doubt that there is plenty of material to work with here. In Burton's adaptation, go-to guy Johnny Depp is slated to play the lead role as vampire patriarch Barnabas Collins. So it appears that Depp, who has confessed that as a child he was so obsessed with the show that he wanted to be Barnabas Collins, may finally get his wish.

Look for web page help

Is there someone who can put together a quick, clean web page for a Royal Travel Fund event I am doing prior to Pennsic?

This post explains it -- http://community.livejournal.com/sca_east/186264.html .

Thanks,

Emma and Talorc need our help

 Two members of our shire of Glenn Linn, who received their AoAs Saturday, lost everything in a house fire last night.

I am usually reticent about posting things like this, but I have been asked to "boost the signal."

Once I know specifics about what they need and where to send items and money, I will post it.

Link to newspaper story.

More on helping Emma and Talorc . . .

I am proud to say that my protege, Lady Ratburc Castus is leading the way in helping Emma and Talorc.

Here's her latest note:

Hey everyone.

Emma and Talorc will have a place to stay.  Although of course I'd have let them camp out in my yard, I pretty much suspected when I said yes to that, that by the end of the day a better plan would be in place for them.  The Red Cross is putting them up for several days, and after that they have an offer of a small (but not burnt up!) place to stay until they get on their feet in a new place of their own.

I know that they will eventually have a need for all household items - kitchen items, shelves, beds, dressers, tables, etc.  Probably the most helpful thing would be money.  It is surprising how fast small gifts add up.  As has been posted, I am willing to be a direction point for gift cards to stores/visa cash cards.  Also, anyone wanting to drop off actual stuff can drop it on my front porch during the day and I will get things to them.  I can be reached at jenphalian "at" gmail "dot" com for my address, etc.

In addition to that, I have set up a paypal account using the email address EmmaAndTalorc "at" gmail dot com.  Anyone who wishes to use paypal to send a gift can certainly do so.

These details can be reposted as needs be.

Glad to be a SCAdian in times like these,
Rat

Also, Jared's been doing a lot of work, and he's got this:

As for clothing sizes Allen is size 32/32 for pants and large shirts, Brian is 36,/32 pants xl shirt, Josh is 36/32 pants and xl shirt , Lisa is 36/32 pants xl shirt, Vance, who also lost a good deal of his stuff,  is 36/32 pants also xl shirt. If you need clothing picked up I can do that after three or on the weekend just give me a day and a time.

I can provide his contact information, and I will shuttle stuff, too.

I love you guys.
