Talking EF 19, when can we expect a fix set of dates? Its so I can begin to plan tickets and hotel in good time.

We're still negotiating. The date the hotel suggested to us for 2013 was not quite what we wanted, so we're in contact, and looking forward to having it resolved within the next couple of weeks.

   I do hope that our antics this year didn't sour our reputation with the hotel?  Are we still on a reasonably good standing with them?

Vulpine fortunes are precarious; people wish either to build monuments to us - or to hang us.

No, absolutely not, we're still on very good terms.

A caribic/hawaii theme sounds neat. Colorful clothes, flower necklaces and all.

Ah, great, its not like its any panic for the next six mounths or so, its just good to know and plan in advance.

  I don't wish to be a spoiler here, but a Hawaiian theme and a Caribbean theme - while both "tropical island" related - are quite different in culture, traditions, and general "feel".

  For Hawaiian, think Polynesian, and the mood I tried to summarize with the word Tiki.

  For Caribbean, think Calypso music and Steel Drum Bands and Latin (Cubano) dance music, coming in on the shortwave.  Think of Jamaica and Sugar Cane plantations, Molasses, and Rum Distilleries.  Think French Creoles and Spanish Creolos, Haiti, and Voodoo; Spanish Galleons loaded with Silver and Gold of the New World and Privateers like Drake and out-and-out Pirates like Morgan...and the treasure hunters who still follow in all their wakes.  Place names as varied as  Kingston, Port Royal, Santo Domingo, Hispaniola, Cristobal and Cartagena, Antigua and Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Monsarrat and Martinique and the Windward Isles, and Smugglers' Cay.  Think Banana boats, Banana Republics and Caudillos; Tramp Steamers and the Gulf Stream.  Think Marlin Fishing, Cuban Cigars, and Daquiris.  Conchs and Key Lime Pie, Chicken Jerk, black beans and rice, Mangos and Star Fruit, Jamaican Allspice.  And fish - lots of fish.  Bohios, Cayucos and hammocks.  Ancient forts along the Spanish Main, with cannon primed and ready for any potential pirate raid...

  Both are quite interesting; the first is perhaps more pleasurable to think about, the latter is more complex and varied, and certainly darker in history (but makes for incredible stories, if you know that history).

  Me - I find it easier to imagine Chairman Cheetah up on stage as a Polynesian Chieftan/Kahuna, accompanied by the manic, frantic rhythm of hawaiian war drums (can Pinky or Tani dance a hula?), than as a Banana-porter singing "Day-OH!" a'la Harry Belafonte.

I got another idea: UNITED FURS OF AMERICA! (a furry version of the statue of liberty at the front door) (Cowboy furs) (A paw pet show about the national parks, two paw pets making a road trip around the states ect)

Just a thought, just a though... don´t shoot me!  ;D

Polynesian/Hawaiian furs sounds more tempting than Carebian dito, even thou the later could be done as a more tempting Pirates ahoy! theme, with Cheetah as Captain Jack Sparrow.  #p

As for the United States of Fur suggestion It would be much more interesting with something like "How West Was Won" theme focusing on the classic wild west themes with indians and cowboys (or rather cow furs^^), and caravans of settlers, as well as classical southern farm settings with all its possible drama. Could make for a few interesting paw pet show themes as well. And Chetaah could be general Custer, or one of the earlier presidents. :)

I'll vote for:

"A world after ours."

What happens to earth when our civilization is gone? No fixed theme or setting, just open for anything. Nature takes over? Animals evolve to sentient beings? Humans go back to stone age? Magic and superstition?

Only your imagination knows. :)
