Subject: [Puptcrit] Canadian magazines and Puppetry


Off subject, Matthieu, where would I find some french/english
magazines from Canada? Can Americans get subscriptions?

Uh?
----------------

You caught me by surprise there.
At first, I did not recognize my name! (just kidding, but you added one T 
too many).

I don't know where to get Canadian magazines that are not blatant copies or 
clones of the American ones, and weak imitations at that.
That's mostly why I don't read much magazines.  I'm talking about such 
topics as Crafts, Fine Arts, and hobbies. It's even worse with 
entertainement and gossip.
I'd rather have the American ones, which at least have the financial means 
to convey their goals. Here, magazine look cheap. American magazines aren't 
hard to find here, at most big international magazine stores.

Do you have any specific canadian magazines in mind?
Maybe some escaped my enquiring mind (I really want to find quality ones!!!)

A bit more on-topic, our Puppeteer's Association here in Quebec (the UNIMA 
Center for Canada) will launch its new member's directory next week, which 
is meant to be a good representation of who does puppetry in Quebec (and 
some in Canada). Pictures, glossy pages, the works. I can't wait to see it. 
I might be lucky, perhaps some of my sketches or puppet photos were chosen 
(there was a call for whatever people could contribute).
For those interested, why not contact our association, and ask for a copy?
A percentage of the copies will be distributed internationally (Unima 
centers, some festivals), so my guess is it will be better for everyone if 
they go to interested parties first.
