Uh-oh! Some of our first Non-Fringe content starts to leak in. The Orlando Puppet Festival opened today with a wine and cheese reception, followed by a screening of Handmade Puppet Dreams, a collection of shorts compiled by Heather Henson and Michelle Renee Bousquet. Following that was one of many presentations of Paul Mesner's Wiley and the Hairy Man. I got a chance to talk to Heather once again and a few of the organizers assembled.

Check out the Orlando Puppet Festival Website or MySpace for schedules and links to show info.

I'm sure I will be bringing in more reports and some interviews soon. Right now I have a million things to do before tomorrow, some of them to this site. Last week I added music players so you can listen to interviews without having to leave the page. Read AND listen! How cool is that? Let me know what you think.

Also, my plan for this year's season is coming together bit by bit. Get your webmaster's email out, because I will want to talk to him or her very soon.
