Although I'm not a puppeteer, I enjoy reading the various posts and 
especially this Festival discussion. And I must say I very much agree with 
Mr. Gamble.  It is no doubt difficult "to please all the people, all the 
time" and everyone's perspective and needs are different.  My own interests 
are more from the "vendor" side of things as I work for Dazian 
(www.dazian.com) who offers a multitude of fabrics to the entertainment and 
special event industry. In addition to fabrics, we offer a couple of unique 
heat activated formable/moldable products known as WONDERFLEX and FOSSHAPE 
that can be used in the puppet making world.  I think some of you may 
already use them, but many are still unaware. Feel free to contact me off 
line and I'll gladly send you swatches/info to experiment with.
 Although I would like to attend Puppet Fest 2005 in St, Paul, it is 
difficult for me to justify expenses for travel, registration etc.  Strictly 
a business decision on my part,  but perhaps I can do some other business in 
the area as well and maybe rationalize or justify the trip.
And my hat goes off to all of you who volunteer those countless hours of 
your time and effort to make these festivals happen in the first place.
Regards.
