Hey Gang -

I just recieved an email and thought I would share with all that might be interested...
This is the Puppeteers of America Mid-Atlantic & Northeast Regional Festival 2008
I would be interested to hear if anyone has been to this before and your thoughts
and/or experience was attending?
Here is their link...  http://www.puppetfest2008.org/

Wow Toon, Thanks for the heads up on this one. I can't make it to the festival, but I really enjoyed the video of the Wizzard of Oz. If that is any idea of what type talent will be there it should be a festival worth checking out.

I to am curious if anyone has attended.

It does look like a great show, I wish I could answer your question but I have not been there myself.

I am sure someone will speak to it here on the forum.

If you go please tell us all about it!!

i will be there with my puppeteering partner so let me know if you are going to go we could meet up ran. From everything I hear from the Boston area guild of puppetry which i am a part of they say it is a great place to make connections. There are supposed to be lots of performances, workshops, and a puppet slam too.  Should be a ton of fun

Onath - yes, I am planning on attending this festival....Are you performing in this one?
I'll send you an email as it gets closer and we could see about meeting. I'm always
interested in getting know more fellow puppeteers! I can't wait to see the Henson
Memorial Statue on the University of Maryland campus, I''l be sure to post some pics too.

Not planning on performing unless the slam is like an open mic night, then we will be sure to hop up and improv some stuff. It will be my first festival so didn't want to book myself for to much. I am more than happy to take a picture of you with the statue if you take a picture of me with it =)

It would be great to see more fellow Puppets and Stuff members
too that might be attending...I hope I get a chance to meet ya!!

Hey toon,

I live fifteen mintues from college park...do you live in the area and I as well hope to attend the festival...any advice for someone who has never been before?

Spoon!

No, I live in Cincinnati, but I'm planning a roadtrip up there for this
festival. I wish I could give you some advice but it would be the blind
leading the blind so to speak, for I am a first time attender as well.
 

well maybe we could meet at the festival...i would love to meet a fellow puppet head!!!
