Nighttime results

We had a flurry of activity pulling all the elements together for our Second big test.  We are making maximum use of our tiny space.


The window grills came out beautiful both day and night.





The panels had to put up with 3 rain storms.  I had to leap out of bed and sprint up the hill to cover the installation several times.  Of course each time I covered it it stopped raining.  Much cursing ensued.  After all the fine work we did on the  paint job I didn't want to see it ruined.  seems like we are getting the right leather look now, Thanks Eric.

It really has that alien spacecraft feel at night.  The windows are almost too bright. that mylar really helped.
The puppet theatre from the outside is pretty simple.  I meant this to be a mock up but I like the simplicity.  Sturdy seats can be moved in or out to accommodate many sized people.  Some people knelt as well and kids could almost stand. I made a simple frame that puppets can be attached to easily.

And the results, well, hilarious.  it doesn't take much to be funny.  I am really looking forward to what we will see at Burningman.



Some people were born to be creepy baby puppets.

As usual it is very difficult to photograph the miniature worlds. But we had the first completed miniature world installed and it looks great.

So everything is working great, we got to see what kind of abuse the crowd would give to the puppet theater ( not too much actually)  And we are ready to move forward with all the final construction
Woohoo!
