Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Puppet People video playing at Film Fest


Hello critters;
    I am just writing, I guess, to toot my own horn, but the short video I 
sent out a few weeks ago (Ketchup Wars 2 The Old Fart Strikes Back) is being 
played at a Film Festival this weekend. Yeah really it's the truth!!!!!!!!!
    The Festival organizer saw it on youtube, e-mailed me and asked if they 
could use it. I of course said yes.
    Believe me I was very suprised since I made it quick and crudely but I 
think the audience may find it funny, hell I did.
    Just to spark your memory, this is the video with Animal & Cookie 
Monster as well as "our puppets" being Light Sabered. If you haven't seen it 
the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K54lKrAXvx8
     Again ingnore this if you want, I just was very excited, I only stared 
making my videos about a year ago so as you can tell I'm Thrilled!!!!

Bye
Mark
The Puppet People
