The Constable's Corner

Edition 10, Thurs., August 28, 1997

We are the Constables at the Southern California Renaissance Faire, and this is our page. We are a performing arts group specializing in street Improv and hyper-intoxication. As the law of the land, it is our duty to extort and corrupt the townsfolk and travellers (customers). And no, no one has ever mistaken us for Event Security. The purpose of this page is to provide info (notes, research material, links) relevant for a Constable at faire and to also to describe the character and historicity (if any) of a Constable. God only knows why I would want to do this.

A Tragic Announcement: We sadly mourn the passing of a St. Ives member and fast friend of the Constables, Marie Gottis. Those of us who knew her will miss her kind soul dearly.

Technical Information: This site was designed on a Macintosh and is at its most graphically pleasing state when viewed with a 24 bit (millions of colors) capable graphics system (VGA 16 colors doesn't cut it). Also note that since the gamma values of the Mac and PC are different some images may appear dark on a PC monitor. The browser of choice is, of course, Netscape 3.0 (although, begrudgingly, Explorer 3.0 does a pretty good job too). Since I use frames extensively, your browser should at least be frames-capable. Also, I use a few MIDI sound tracks for background music. Of course the tracks aren't period, but who wants to listen to whiny lute music anyway? Please make sure that you have some form of MIDI plug-in for your browser such as Live Audio (it came with Netscape), Crescendo (available at liveupdate.com) or QuickTime (2.5 for Mac, 2.1.1 for Windows) and the QuickTime plug-in available at quicktime.apple.com.The current track is "Turkish.mid," which I got from alt.binaries.midi.classical, and was posted by (and, I presume, digitized by) "Mike's Midi Madness."
