in typical ammon style, there's only a few days notice for the next s.s.
vallejo party in sausalito.  i know a few of us were talking about doing
monterey, but if you haven't been to ammon's boat, it must be experienced.
and hey!  puppets!  ghosts of jean varda!

what sayeth thee to postponing monterey, and checking out this party
instead?  all are invited- it's a big boat!  ;-)

this is the boat:  www.vallejo.to

shall we do a saturday champagne brunch / puppet making party?

>Coming up this Saturday, we'll be kicking off the first of what I hope will
>be an ongoing series of mind expanding, participatory and entertaining
>events on board the mothership S.S. Vallejo. I will keep you all abreast of
>upcoming events.
>
>
>Saturday, February 2nd
>The S.S. Vallejo presents,
>The Caped Puppeteer Sing-Along Jam
>
>In the main arena, join the forces of good or evil as we duke it out in an
>all out puppet frenzy. It will be puppet against puppet singing and
dancing,
>testing their skills of mockery and fuzzy sock style kung-fu in the
ultimate
>showdown of wit and style. Dj Pupp Dogg (http://www.qaswa.com/puppet/) and
>guests will set the mood.
>
>For those puppets escaping the chaos, we'll have the furry fuzzy chillout
>lounge with your hosts bruce "hamster" lee and the hooty owl.
>
>We will be joined by a talented group of puppeteers who will lead the way
>and show us the path to all out puppet dementia. We have also restored the
>puppet theater made by the brilliant artist Jean Varda, who used to reside
>on the Vallejo, and we're ready to reenergize the puppet spirits within.
>
>So come and dress yourself and/or your puppet as the CARTOON or SUPERHERO
of
>your choice and join us for a night of puppeteering mayhem. If you don't
>have a puppet and can't make one by Saturday, we'll have limited supplies
in
>the Puppet Factory area (so come early if you plan to make one). If you
need
>ideas for puppets, I've assembled some creative resources at
>http://www.qaswa.com/puppet/
>
>We'll provide snacks and beverages, but you're welcome to bring some of
your
>own. The madness begins at 9pm and goes till the last puppet drops.
>
>You'll find DIRECTIONS at the end of this email
