A powerful rich family that owns a quarter of the town,hummmm. Maybe this musical theatre is just a front for a lewd baudy shows or collecting people to go out to a secret estate --Like Eyes Wide Shut or something.
Maybe there might be to much sex our the suggestion of sex in these shows. Maybe someone could start a rumour that the shows aren’t what they say they are.
Maybe a letter to the Editor reviewing the musical theatre’s show or something.
Maybe making a recording on tape of really bad and high whistle playing, then taking a cheap somewhat disposable playback device and tape it to an air duct or air conditioning unit when a show is on – then run like hell, of course when you leg is better.
I ain’t Bin Loafin but I think that one of many of your constitutional freedoms have been stomped on!
Maybe a whistle in their innuendo might help them with their flatulent thinking. And since does any Chamber of Commerce pass any law or recommendation anywhere in the US or Canada that supercedes the constitutions.
Mark, First Amendment Rights, in Deadwood? Actually I was thinking stink bombs, would mess up the restaurant business, too! My whistling a block away causes this poor woman to come out of the bar and shake her fists at me!
I was gonna take some pictures for the local media for them last summer but they wanted to charge me admission, I passed, and gave great reviews to the other show in the local press! On general principle, I don’t pay people to let me do them a favor.
This family and the Chamber is a law into itself. I did get rid of the worst one, who’s only mission in life was to stop me! Funny, with my pictures, I figure I’m giving Deadwood gonzo value in free publicity. I haven’t charged a local paper for use of my photos, but do well with licensing stock photos!
Let it shine! Anna Calamity Martinez

This is the offical Deadwood Calender http://www.deadwood.org/events.htm
and the first two weeks in August are hell! Lets show’em what the Rocky Mt. Boys can really do!
Taimse mo choladh is na duistear me is an aisling or vision poem in which the poet dreams how he will overcome his oppressors and eventually will have them pull his plough for him and sow his seeds…
It is a defiant tune.
Hey Anna, seems like you could use this tune a lot! Yesss… the oppressors will soon be overcome and eventually you will have them plough for you and lick yer boots!! Muhahaha!!!
Anna,
I know I shouldn’t ask this, but being inquisitive by nature I just have to. Just what exactly do they play during they’re big St. Paddy’s day weekend? Willie O’Nelson?
Ron, sometimes they import Colcannon from Denver, other times they import a Highland Bagpipe band from Montana, then they play Willie Nelson…Man, went to boomers, and all it was was the bawling calf contingent. (You know, ernest youn men with beards, can’t sing, can’t play and all of them know Bob Bylan isn’t just Jacob’s dad?) They do however, die the beer green at the Old Style! Bill Walsh, green beer Irish and ex priest is letting me play on the porch of his hotel, though…

I have a casino owner friend who has a BIG lot and will let you park there…he also has an unfished hotel he’ll let us use, if you want to camp out with indoor plumbing!
I think the whistle-in this summer is a possibility (the Whistling Commandos!). In the meantime, how about this:
Everyone get a nice low-end whistle, a cheapie that you don’t mind losing/buying/giving away. Or two or three or a dozen. On the designated week, we all send them to the Deadwood chamber of commerce, flooding them with whistles.
A gesture of peace that would also send quite a message. What say you, Anna?

I think that’s too much of a class act for them, they would think it was an offering they were entitled to and have no idea what to do with them and no understanding of the symbolism. I say send high G’s to the school kids! I’m spending all day at City Hall and it could get interesting…however, I won’t be calling here for bail, but will be calling the newspapers! I’m gonna do my best to get arrested, so I can get the newsies on it!
Funny, all this hair tearing and crying about lack of funding for arts in the schools and treasures like us who spent time with the kids, give 'em instruments and music lessons in the street will never be apppreciated…what shoot-us- in-the-collective-foot politics!

I have folks scampering all over City Hall to find out if I am actualy illegal playing on the streets or if this is just a power play. I’ve talked to two women cops, three clerks, one department head, and the mayor. I’m waiting for the Police Chief. Meanwhile, one of the cops I talked to, said she thought the Whistle Commandos sounded like a lot of fun, after all, we’re much nicer than the dope heads and drunks they get to deal with…besides, these two women are celtic music lovers.
Anna,
Keep at it girl! Stick up for your rights!
Would a petition help at all? Maybe through this message board, or via your email? With so many subscribers to C&F, we may be able to generate a couple thousand signatures!

Sue, let’s find out what the real situation is before we flood them with petitions…as you are aware, small town politics thirves on fake outs, innuendo, gossip and backstabbing, and I need to get to the heart to this matter before we take action! We could flood the Chamber of Commerce with e-mails telling them how charming and wonderful whistlers in their streets are though. Another hour and I should be geting from the horses mouth, not the other end! mailto:visit@deadwood.org, I’m not sure who to ain this at, that’s the Chamber’s e-mail…this is the e-mail of the woman’s business who’s instigated this crap: Mailto:saloon10@deadwood.net and oh, yeah, take a look at this one, see how many casino’s there are here: http://www.deadwood.com/gaming.htm and that ain’t all of it, there’s 86 casinos here!

I have heard of street performers playing from the back of a pickup truck parked in a legal spot to get around restrictions on playing on sidewalks. Technically, you are on your own property sitting in the back of your truck.
