Did I read that right? A 7 foot by 4 foot sail fish?

Not that I want the thing - but good googly moogly!!

(Restaurant? Prop house?)

Wow.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes you did. I'll have pictures soon.

But like this: http://www.fishdeco.com/fd_sailfish5.jpg

Actually, it's left-facing:

Maybe call some seafood restaurants in Westchester? They'd probably have their own truck, too.

Any seafood/nautical themed restaurants or bars around?

Years ago (long before I knew him) Harry caught a sailfish while fishing in Hawaii and had it stuffed. When it arrived at his house in Atlanta and it was too huge to go anywhere. The owner of Marina Cafe, an upscale restaurant on the harbor here in Destin paid to have it crated and shipped to him and it's been hanging in the bar ever since.

Ack! I really, really want that! Thank you!

[annablume.livejournal.com]

Oh, is it you? I was about to follow up to the post and contact the author?

How much do you think shipping would be? Do you know the weight? I could research.

The big problem is we have no idea and no car and no way to pack it, hence our attempt to find a local buyer who will come pick it up. But if you can figure out what we need to do and we're capable of doing it (fairly debateable), I'm open to that.

[annablume.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. I'll see what I can figure out.

Soooooo, randomly and entirely off-topic, are going to Lunacon? Because I was poking at the website and noticed that registration is cheaper if I buy it by Monday.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am, in several capacities. Come along. It should be more interesting than Luna con has any right to be.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yes, that certainly seems like it will be true. All the stuff on the programming schedule looks good too.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it looks much better than usual this year. I have a friend on programming this year too.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

You have all sorts of connections to Lunacon! Have you been before? I've only been to a few cons.

[rm.livejournal.com]

In passing. I used to work for the guy who does their tech room there too. I will know absurd numbers of people there this year. Also, Regency Ball! and I think you'd fit into one of my dresses.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

...oh man, I'd missed that. I'd only been looking at what was happening on Saturday. That's too cool, though I certainly don't own any appropriate clothes myself.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Easy solve this one. As the dresses are built with draw strings.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you. That's really kind.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Well don't say that until I find out how narrow your shoulders are. But it's pretty easy to fake.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heh. I... have absolutely no idea how to measure that or help you out.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll just look next time I see you, or we'll find out when I try to put the dress on you.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Simple enough!

Dude. Giant stuffed fish. That is awesome.
