...ok... going to be putting together a show in the next few months in MA. I'll keep people posted for me soon.

Super thanks to Melissa Franklin from D.C. She took a bunch of awesome photos (which I stole) and some great video too which you can see on her facebook.

Here's her livejournal since I don't know how to send a link to a person's Facebook... stupid Facebook...

AC Con 2008

Wow. What a great con. My hats off to Larry and the others for putting on a spectacular convention. Also, a very special thanks to Liz for organizing the puppet show and doing an amazing job. Finally, congratulations to Sarah, Jean, and Lou for helping me put on a great puppet show and Raab for filming.

As I've posted in my livejournal (javadave4), my favorite part of the show is its context within the entire convention. It was the smallest part of the con which is logical, since my cast is the smallest cast (in heights).

The puppet show is constantly evolving much like Rocky itself. Some things work really well and other not as much. Please use this post to tell us what you liked and things that perhaps did not hit their marks. Here's some compliments and suggestions we've gotten so far:

Compliments-
good audience interaction
people liked Dr. Sock (as always, the paper bag transies, and googly-eye letters
people love the kick line
My James Brown impersonation when I saved the audience from collapsing curtain certain doom

Suggestions-
use more stage more often
excerpts might be more appropriate
work on hitting the cues
redo "censored" sign

Please let me know what you thought. ^_^

Finally, I've sent a special apology to a special someone. I don't want to delve into it without further permission from this person. I'm glad that he/she seemed to enjoy the show. It was certainly a great honor performing. Ciao all.

AC Con puppet show

Last night we finished our AC 2008 con show. I hope people really enjoyed it. Of course, much pictures and videos will follow. Thanks to all those that filmed and took pictures (my brother included). And of course thanks to Larry for putting this on and to Liz for being an incredible organizer. I'm sorry I forget to give my thinks to these two after the show.

I'll also have some more important matters to discuss in the next few days.

I'll be back at the con on Sat. See you all then.

HOLY CRAP! AC CON!

I can't believe how fast AC con has come up. I'm really hoping we put on a good show. Please come and enjoy.

a sad commentary

"It's a sad fact for you, my friends, that people just don't take puppets seriously."
