phase one: phase one

with a glove compartment full of sketches, and having filled the tank to the brim with tolerance (and added just the right amount of indifference to lubricate all moving parts), we embarked today on the road to explore (with a hands-on approach) the magical world of puppet technology and performing objects (from the traditional to the abstract (to cyber-puppets (and beyond)))! Rudimentary diagrams of the finger puppets allowed the construction of a crude prototype made of paint sticks, rubber bands, string, pins, and small hardware. Things may be good. Combined my portion of the performance with Aisha's... so we've moved from the every-man/person-for-hisherself division of the group into two teams; congress and senate, meat and potatoes, biscuits and gravy, eyes and hot pokers, babies and b-b-q sauce... I think this will yield better results.
