Note: "The Ledge of Doom" because after the dance at about midnight JB said we should do something crazy to end the night, so I suggested we roll down the hill by the library (which is quite long and steep, ending in a sharp drop over a ledge). So we rolled down the hill, and when we reached the bottom we discovered that MPT had rolled right over this ledge (at full rolling speed too!). He didn't know it was there. We think that he survived with only a few bruises because he was so disoriented and dizzy that he didn't try to brace himself for it; he just flopped on the sidewalk, his head landing on his arm. It was hilarious.

Where in Hollywood are you? I've been around and don't recall this section?

Hmm. I'm trying to figure out the deeper thread running through these themes: electric guitars, women in period dress, Hollywood, Collective Soul? Is it Collective Soul?

Is this how you feel in costume? Like a Hollywood starlet, whose soul has been collected and bound together by the corset strings of time?

Yes! Oh my gosh! You have hit it right on the spot! You TOTALLY get what I am trying to say.
We were in the older run down part of Hollywood that is only used by crazy reenactors. The cameras and stuff don't really come there very often. No limos either. But we had a stagecoach and a touring fire engine.
I was trying to connect reenacting with the fantasy of hollywood life. The electric guitar integrates the modern with the old, showing how Hollywood can make us modern people feel as though the past lives on.
