Don't worry about a thing. Nobody'll kick you out. I have a BUNCH of my friends here in Memphis are promoting their comics there, namely Lin Workman and Dave Beaty from www.BushiTales.com. Both of them are of the Karate variety, or some such. Another buddy is, too. The fourth guy is just a Wookie, so you know you're safe around him.

Apparently last year's was a big hit so it might be worth your trouble to go?

Edited to add the Anizona information in case your interested, Mike. I won't be there, but it'll be cool, I know:

Mike,

I love the Quinney Puppets they look fun to perform!

 

[madpaperhat]

Your puppets have a very impressive look, for how small and simple they are to manipulate. It's also nice to see another puppet fan and builder here in Arizona. Good luck with your puppets and I agree a great price for a quality puppet.

Hello again puppet people!
I trust you are all doing well? I just wanted to give you a head's up that I am beginning my second batch of Quinneys while I have the chance. I'm ending the orders at midnight Pacific time September 3rd. Just thought you might like to know as this will be the last chance for a good while I suspect. Just go to the QuinnZone and check it all out there.
Anyway take care all and enjoy the forum here.
Thanks everyone!
Mike

I was just talking about these at the SFBAPG meeting today (we were celebrating the dedication of the "Storybook Theater"--they dedicated it to Lewis Mahlman). Someone was asking about good practice puppets and I told 'em how much I loved yours! I hope you get loads of orders!

 

[Punch'n'Judy]

They are excellent puppets, I was very pleased with mine. If you can (and they are very reasonably priced so I don't see why not), then get one.

[Mike Quinn]

You are both too kind! Can I quote you in my publicity???

THANKS
