My theme was Vlad the Impaler or the Blue Jay:
Scooby-Doo/Werewolves of London/Buffy Themes Medley,
OK Blue Jays (Lenz/Kosinec), and
Love Potion #9/The Witch Doctor (Lieber/Stoller/Bagdasarian).
Reaction: "Oh, you were wearing a costume." - a guy who had been sitting at the back of the room.
The other performers dressed up as singers.

I picked mine up last night from the editor, Mary Davis. It's great. Contact Cambrian Players if you want one.

My theme was Love. This time there was an audience member who had heard of The Rutles!

And I Love Her (Lennon/McCartney), and
Love Life (The Rutles [Idle/Innes])/All You Need Is Love (LENNON/McCartney).

Here is my complete collection so far. Each log stands for a week of camp or a camp event such as a reunion. The colours and symbols follow a code by which each log designates my role that week.
I started at Camp Gitchigomee only recently (in 2003), but already I have 26 logs. At 25 one qualifies for "long-service" logs so that the logs may be displayed side by side.
