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.

I think you might edit down the movie to 20 or 30 minutes (40 max) and perhaps just use the audio.
in general, I thought it would be further from a strict shadowcasting of the whole dvd, and closer to a short preshow. I appreciate it being longer than the 10-15 minutes of a typical preshow, but it shouldn't be like a regular shadowcast experience.
along those lines, I'd fuck around with the movie more. mess with what happens in it. replace dinner scene with something from some fucked up children's movie or something. it's a great basis for a mindblowing experience, and the puppets and set are great. I'd like to see the content as creative as the visuals.
and yes, more audience interaction.
that said, I was entertained! (until I got too hungry and had to leave)
