Conventioneering
I feel like I should have all the puppets in one spot.
—————————————-VS———————————-
————————-WHO-WILL-WIN?—————————-
One of the puppeteers, Tee Morris was over at the house the other day–he and Philippa Ballantine are doing a signing a the Moravian Book Shop tonight, which is guaranteed to be a hoot and a half–and he gave a wondrous bit of improv with his puppet. I taped it, and will have it on the internets soon. Watching that character come to life like that made all the stress worth it. It’s really cool, having talented friends.
Something I should update on the site, in addition to Aliens You Will Meet LIVE on Saturday at 5:30 pm, I’m also on this panel:
Title: The Long and the Short of It
Description: How to write short stories, poetry, plays, and non-fiction within the realm of our genres–and get it published.
Time: Sun 04:00 pm
Length: 1 Hour
Which, you will note, is a writing panel. I’m not just a guest at Dragon*Con for my mad puppeting skillz, dontcha know? I also write stuff. And, as the panel notes, get it published. So there.
Also worth noting is that the SalonCon schedule is now up, with details about the salon JR Blackwell and I will be doing on the Victorian Sideshow. With the puppet show for Dragon*Con pretty much taken care off until we can get to the Con and rehearse, I should probably make sure all my needles are sharpened…

Jared, these puppets look terrific! I love Aliens You Will Meet, and I so wish I could be at DragonCon to see the show. I guess I’m just lucky I got to see it at Balticon. Anyway, great work on the puppets and the podcast. And let us know how the writing panel goes!
