Loved Texas. Spent some time in El Paso (Ft Bliss,... and bliss it was not.) My nights and weekends were spent living across the boarder learning leather work from the Martinez family, eating in Southern Wharez and catching the mariachi (spelling?) bands. My theatre dept. director that I tech directed for (10 yrs.) was a 6'4". texan. Everyone in the theatre loved to hear him talk. He used that smoothness to "shmoose" an awful lot of people into doing a lot of stuff they would not have done otherwise, me included. We did built great theatre. But enough hind-site.
I am not sure how this site thing works. I have a Macitosh design Lab. in my house but beyond the graphic design and engineering I have never gone farther than my e-mail and the web-site that my friend Kathy Holten assembled for me.
I am hoping that this site helps connect to people who are making all kinds of puppets (as am I) and communicating about it. I would to talk to and work with people in the craft. I am still not sure how to move around this site to get to that or if I am wasting my time because this site does not do that. Can you help me with this? That would be appreciated. Thanks!
