Nice to hear from you. When I was a member of the Antarctic Puppet Guild, I never noticed you at any meetings. Are you planning on coming to Puppet Gumbo in Savannah in June? Elise and I will be there.

- Hi Jim,
Your puppets ARE cool! You should come to Savannah. It will be fun, and if you do, you can buy my book there and save shipping. I'll be doing a humor writing workshop in Savannah. Check out my blog and website at Bobseyeview.com (and leave a comment on the blog)

- No, I won't be doing anything I don't like doing things by myself...don't be nervous no one knows what you are doing so how are they going to know if you make a mistake...I have never seen a fellow puppeteer make fun of someone else’s work…everyone is very supportive...good luck memorizing :)
