Ken/Steve/Ron,

Congratulations on what sounds like a very magical evening. It's nice to get an update from you and as well to hear from a real pro how these puppets can play. I was already so impressed with you Gator the Great routine which both my kids love. When I played your library show to them I just sat back and watched their reactions to see how it played from their perspective. Keep in mind that this was done on the TV at my house and for the audience to see it live would have been even better. As one of the people looking to pick up one of these puppets I really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

That being said I'm also very excited about hearing further discussion when these puppets are out in the field. I can only imagine at the creativity and ideas that could be developed.

Wow! Absolutely amazing! That's all I can say about Axtell's remote controlled puppets! They look incredible on the website but in person, wow - I have never seen anything like it! Truly brilliant!

I am still in awe of what they have been able to create.. you should have seen the looks on all of our faces when being shown just some of the possibilities with these puppets. Truly unbelievable and something to be very proud of Smile

Just amazing and what an absolutely wonderful day and evening we had!

Love Melanie xx

I don't want to take this off topic, at least for long, but Steve, I love the look of that page! Have you considered changing your entire site to that layout with the darker background and highlighting the puppets like you did the Toucan?
Wish I could have seen Ken's show! Congrats, Ken!

Went to see Ken and Fairy Twinkle Toes (Melanie) Sunday night. Ken was the MC of the Palace shows. Ken did a terrific job! Very funny and wry. Melanie is a doll and a delight and I wish she lived in the states so she could do parties over here and just cause she's a joy to be around.

Oh, my friend we're older but no wiser, for in our hearts the dreams are still the same...

You guys are so sweet, thank you for your lovely - you have put a big smile on my face Smile

I have just arrived back in Australia after the most wonderful and exciting 4 weeks of my life.

Jim - it was great to finally meet you in person, I hope you guys had a fantastic night! I certainly did - I hope we all can catch up next time I'm in town.

Steve - The day we saw you was one of the highlights of my whole adventure, what a great day that was!
