The Young New Mexican Puppeteer

 People who have been eagerly checking my blog to see what I decided to do last weekend can now be put out of their misery - I went to London to see the puppet show people. And much to my astonishment, I got the part of one of the central characters! I only signed up to audition because I fell in love with him in the 2012 show and wanted the opportunity to actually handle the puppet myself, but now I'm part of a great legacy! It's like becoming the new Doctor Who, only much better, because it involves puppeteering too!

Obviously, my timing wasn't perfect here, because my puppet-phobic brother is staying with me this week, so I'm just having to keep the puppet I brought home safely packed away, but between now and the May bank holiday, I'm going to be working hard on getting to grips with my favourite character and really doing him justice in my performance!

I'm out of the loop here...what puppet show people? Are you going to be superstar, again? Will I boasting to my friends that I know you, again?

No, it's not something that the world in general is going to see - it's an annual production for a furry convention that I happen to think is quite cool, but isn't going to lead to any kind of widespread fame. But it's a definite new string to my bow to say I can do puppet things, and that's what's important!
