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!!!!
