Default Looking for a drape

Anybody know where I can pick up a good used black drape (backdrop) about 35 feet wide, maybe 9 to 12 feet high?

Yeah Rosebrand has all kinds of misc stuff on clearance at times. Other options would be to try Grosh or Norcostco... maybe you'll get lucky.

Or try Stagecraft Industries. They make a ton of drapes, they're fast. Something that size shouldn't be hard to make or take too long.

He's looking for used Van... Does Stagecraft rent them out? You need to hit up the rental places. Speaking of which Charles Stewart is another rental house to try.

Oh that is hilarious! It just so happens I was in the market for a "used van" and when I first read that line I thought you were a freaky mind reading psychic!

Yea, a used drape is what I am looking for!

Oh Sorry.
I'm a used Van, but you can't buy me. Unless of course my wife is mad at me in which case she may just let me go for cheap.

"No, Van, you can't have that. And don't get the kids to beg, either." I think I love your wife.

Interesting trades accepted?

How about a piece of Hollywood memorabilia?

I know a guy who has Anthony Quinn's t-shirt.
