Can I be a internet web nerd here for a minute?

Since there are so many puppetslams in the country
right now, I would be MORE than willing to maintain a
webpage of different puppetslams (which could be
linked to from sagecraft, from puppetslam websites, or
whoever else wants to)

This page could featuring information about:
city
dates of past performances
history of the particular puppetslam
performers at the puppetslams
what was seen
reviews
photos
highlights
upcoming puppetslams
contact info/deadlines for touring peoples with short
pieces
links to the host organizations of the puppetslams

NOW - I understand that some venues are small and not
too much publicity is wanted because of lack of
seating - I can minimize this publicity - 
I would love to know that I could click one page and
see what was going on in places I might not be able to
physically visit otherwise!!


I've started collecting some information on these
already - and I will start work on this - if you
organize these events and want me to include you on
this, please email me at

:::: chacha-AT-chachaville.net ::::

for now this is the best way to reach me. 
If anyone violently opposes this motion, let me know
and I won't list your event. Otherwise, I don't see
anything wrong with this idea.
I think PuppetSlams are great (though are all
puppetslams competitions or what?) and can provide a
wonderful space to hatch new performers.
 
I was on a wild puppet theorizing weekend with my
friends, old and new, at the Black Sheep Puppet
Festival - and I realized how important it is to have
nurturing performance spaces for puppeteers - and it
would be wonderful to have critique free and available
to all levels and varieties of performers - WITH
REGULARITY!!!! I applaud all the people who've started
such wonderful performance spaces.

ps. Don't forget Paul Calahnan (sp) and Sarah
Frechette and Cathy Mueller all also performed at the
last Boston PSLAM - and sorry to whoever I left out.
