Hellblinki came to town again last night! Their show was just as awesome as I expected, only this time they invited master puppeteer Madison J. Cripps along for the trip. I'm ashamed to admit that I've never seen a professional puppet show in real life before, so you can imagine how impressed I was when I witnessed Cripps's fantastic performance. One of his puppets, the lady Charlotte, had the gall to call me "sugar nipple" when I guessed her second favorite letter correctly (which is W, by the way). I also bought one of his fabulous hand puppets after the show and named it Jebediah Crumblesworth. Madison was pretty impressed by the name. I'll post a picture of Jeb and me when my acne doesn't look like hell.

(Top: Madison J. Cripps; L to R: Bradley Lunsford, Andrew Benjamin, and Valerie Meiss [hope I got their names right.])

So yeah, fun times, fun times. As you can probably guess, I have a major crush on this guy now. (I think it's pretty obvious why- I mean, he's a puppeteer, and he's got great hair, c'mon). Unfortunately, I either forgot the name of his oh-fish-ee-ull website or it doesn't exist. If any of you are adept in the ways of master google fu and you should stumble upon the site, please let me know. I will kiss your soul and invite you to the wedding. There will be feasting and puppets and merriment.
