googs, remember when that student we knew, p., shared with us his essay about being arrested for puppet-making in philly 2000 during the gop convention? those were the days.
you do know that the day after kelly quinn legends ball in ann arbor, we are hosting festifools, a large puppet extravaganza? my puppet teachers, alex and sophia of superior concept monsters, are coming to work with students and colleagues here for our first (annual?) street theater art project. mark's students are spending the semester building puppets with social justice themes. alex and sophia are arriving mid-march to work with students in my urban planning class and nick's art + society class. and, in addition, i am likely going to do an anti-war mask-making session with local kids for the parade.
seriously, you and sarah should come. okay, i realize it is near impossible, but seriously, you two should come. and bring sandy silver.
i promise i will take plenty of pictures whether you come or not.
puppets rock! check out also the Bread and Puppet in Vermont. They give out free home baked bread at the puppet shows.
