Yes, our little town of New York City is very small indeed,
isn't it?
The Pottery Barn Kids gig was fine. Yes, the kids were a little
young, but we only did a 25 minute set (a small shadow show with
some cool overhead projector effects which dazzled) and it was
fine. At one store the kids were vocal, peeked around the screen
and really interacted with the puppets, at the other they simply
stared at us blankly. So, who knows!
