Information sought: costume rental

[vakkotaur]

I was approached by a fellow at work who asked if I knew of any costume rental places. He wants to get "something medieval" (I don't know the specifics of what and why) for some parade appearances, and after checking the price of buying outright, decided to look into rental but doesn't have any idea of where to look. Neither do I. But I was asked all the same. So now I ask those reading: is there any place (presumably in the Twin Cities) I can point this guy to as a place to start looking?

He can always go with burlap bags and mud for the beggar / condemned criminal look.

Yellow pages. Costume Rental. Theatrical Supply. :)

Nice idea almost. The yellow pages readily available tend not to have stuff from the Cities, which is where the places are to be found. And while the web is a nice idea, it doesn't always work very well for finding things, alas.

Can you 'splain me why LJ keeps logging me out? Which will explain my annon post... which you may delete... mutter mutter mutter....

Those might be of use. I've now relayed that and the earlier suggestions on.

As for LJ logging you out, I suspect something cookie related but am not sure beyond that. I know yakko has been annoyed (http://yakko.livejournal.com/257672.html) by LJ cookie expiration issues. Oddly, I haven't run into that particular problem and I'm not sure why LJ weirdness seems to be random about who it affects.
