Puppets Commandeer the Los Angeles Freeway
When I’m stuck in traffic, do you know what I wish for? A puppet show to be played out in the rear of the sketchy white truck in front of me (Actually, more times than not, I wish for a bathroom; but only because I never remember to go before I leave the house.).
If you live in LA, then the fellas over at LAXART are fulfilling all of your rush hour puppetry needs with Superclogger. By distracting highway drivers, they hope “to briefly halt the progression of chaos by temporarily drawing the audience out of the commute experience and placing them within an intimate space of engagement…” Seriously? This doesn’t sound dangerous to anyone else? Using my phone in the car diverts my attention from driving, but watching children’s theater is supposed to help me focus on the task at hand?
In my experience, people tend to slam on the breaks for puppets! “Sorry about the pile-up on The 401, officer. My bad. But I needed to see the third act of ‘Mr. Googlie Eyes has a Bad Day.’ As it turns out, he had love in his heart all along. Whadda ya mean, ‘jail?’”

Harry Potter and the Legion of Fanboys
Hogwarts is a mystery to me. And that’s okay. I was a fully functioning adult when J.K. Rowling hit pay dirt with her first book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. My intern, Ben, however was a pup in ’97 and cannot recall with any clarity a Voldemort free world. So it was no surprise [...]
Gift Ideas for Your Little Monsters
My wife, Red, and I have different approaches to gift shopping for children. She likes her gifts to be symbolic in order to strengthen her bond with the child and somewhat educational in an attempt to spark wonderous curiousity. Me, I like to horrify the kid’s parents. The Leatherface action figure from Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Perfect [...]
