BABY'S FIRST MALL SHOW!
When I first heard that Matt would be performing at the Jonesboro mall, terrifying images of food court flashmobs danced through my head. Fortunately, the venue far exceeded my expectations. The mall was fancy and new, and it featured tiny train rides for anyone that would pay a dollar. Matt performed for 150 kids in a beautiful empty store front and the show went great!
Still, the mall show paled in comparison to this week's other first time venue: A MILITARY BASE! Do you want to feel like a bad ass puppeteer? Take your puppet show somewhere that requires a background check, picture id, and full searches upon request. It took us about 30 minutes to get into McConnell Air Force Base, and the security hassle only made the experience more awesome!
Once we were finally in, we realized the that a military base is like a glorious mall, complete with a bowling alley, a movie theater, and numerous restaurants. There's even a clothing store, though window shopping looks a little different on base.
In other news, Wichita was awesome, but we're going back so I'll tell you about all of its wonders when we return. For now, I'll leave you with a puppet video. So Matt is performing his new show as well as his old one on this summer's tour. This skit is a new addition to last year's show, never before seen by blog readers. Lucky you!
Here is today's song!
Lucky us is right. Old Glory makes a fabulous backdrop. Wish Muu Muu had Internet so I could show her you skit. Loved the pieces out of it.
ReplyDeleteDidn't the stage look great with the giant flag behind it! I wish I had filmed us putting the stage up there, so I could use it in the video!
