Anachronism, probably not. The first permanent tattoo shop in new york city was set up in 1846 and began a tradition by tattooing military servicemen from both sides of the civil war. Samuel o'Reilly invented the electric tattooing machine in 1891. I went to art school, have tattoos, BUT I do not think that the book belongs with carving / drawing books. Is there really a market for a tattoo book at SDC? Sell that out on the strip somewhere, not in the Valley Rd. Carving Shop. Though it is period correct, it does not belong here.

I would imagine the book has designs that could look great as relief carvings...but as you say, it has no place at SDC.

Went to the saloon show today -- the third show of this season. Same show as last year but in the middle there is a number in which the cast puts Fabian into an computer chair on casters that you could buy at Walmart, Staples, or Target. The casts sings to him and spins him around. Couldn't they at least put him into one of those old wooden chairs on casters that bankers used to use at a desk?

Ahhh, wouldn't have been allowed in Miss Mary's time!

MandyTG · April 07, 2011, 05:53:11 PM

Maybe the wooden chair was broken? $:-\$

That is really cheap

AND there are NO plans for a tattoo shop!

WHAT??? NO Tattoo shop? Hooray!

Made my second trip of the year to SDC for Worldfest. I spotted a couple of more things at the Valley Merchantile that would not have been allowed in Miss Mary's time. See them at the Flickr site:

One thing I saw that I did not take a photo of...in one shop, a clerk was walking around talking to someone on a wireless phone. There was no one in the shop until I came in, but, she continued the conversation on the phone while walking around the merchandise. Sorry, NOT IN MISS MARY'S TIME!

I knew there was cell phone comment in this thread somewhere. Saturday morning at the beginning of the egg hunt, of the street troupe was giving instructions on how to participate in the egg hunt. Very nice, funny fellow had a pony tail, but I know people had long hair back then too, and with his overalls, boots and long john shirt underneath he looked very much the part. As soon as he was done talking an answering questions he turned around and headed towards the grandstand, reached in his overalls and whipped out his cell phone and started talking. I'm was very unimpressed at that point. The rest of the day I was walking around the park with "Miss Mary" glasses on and didn't like a lot of what I saw either.

I noticed when i was there a couple of weeks ago, several employees on their cell phones. that does not look right..

Instead of texting they should be forced to morse code each other via telegraph, or have a telegram/ pony express for the workers delivering letters all day

I like that rube! Maybe we can get junior to put that in the suggestion box.
