Crime / Theater Bunny Burglar

Posted by Brendan Kiley on Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 2:45 PM

Somebody at the TK Artists Lofts, presumably a fellow artist, has stolen a bunny costume from the laundry room yesterday—a costume belonging to Bunny LaMonte—a.k.a. Matt Manges—the stuntman, drummer, and cotton-tailed marvel from the soon-to-be-late-and-lamented Circus Contraption.

From CC HQ:

This is a jumpsuit that was designed and built from scratch, for Matt, for The SHOW to End All SHOWS, and is irreplaceable. Might you be able to put a picture up on Slog, (there's one attached,) with a note, and hopefully someone will return it to the laundry room for fear of being publicly shamed?

Our show goes up at 8 pm tonight, and runs through May, and boy do we need that costume. It will really be embarrassing if the Bunny is in his underwear in front of the 160 or so people who have already purchased tickets. Hopefully this person will see the error of their ways. I will offer two comps and two free drink tickets to any show for information leading to the return of the Bunny Suit. No questions asked. erin@circuscontraption.com.

The suit:

We understand—you were giddy/drunk, it seemed like a good idea at the time, now you're regretting it, etc.

You have roughly five hours to do the right thing. All will be forgiven.

I'd actually pay to see the bunny in his underwear.

I think he did him a favor.

He was probably my favorite character out of Circus Contraption.

If the suit is returned, I'll give out two tickets, two drinks, and a picture of the Bunny in his underwear.

It's a good show.

What if the bunny is returned minus the ears?

Maybe you should ask Erica where it is. The $9 bottle of wine was just the beginning.

I can do better. I'll offer four show tickets and a full bottle of scotch for the suit. Deal?

Hmmm. I kinda think he'd look pretty good in his underwear...

You'll probably see it again after Easter....but I'd like to point out that FurFest Northwest has a furry convention in Seattle in April...unless it's been canceled due to "unnecessary drama". Contact convention chairman Rex Wolf for possible leads.

Not that I'm into this stuff or anything.

Anyone staking out Sakura-Con?

Posted by JC on April 10, 2009 at 6:11 PM

That looks a lot like Greg Lundgren...

I was at Sakura Con all day - and if somebody were in that costume I would've noticed. None of the costumes I saw had that much fabric.

fake stolen bunny costume story - $0
free publicity for the circus - priceless!

Hey, cynical "spade a spade" # 15, why don't you come to the show and see the suped up karate suit The Bunny is wearing instead of his jumpsuit? Don't ya think anyone who saw the show Friday would call us out if this was B.S.? It would be a pretty dumb publicity stunt. Nope, this is actually a really sucky thing that happened. Thanks for keeping an eye out, everybody else.
