A couple of weeks ago we had a great time at the IMNOTLOST : Fake Puppet Science Fair where former resident Kate Brehm showed a section of here Science Fiction Puppetry piece Do You Copy.

I'm pleased to tell you that Steve, the puppet / main character is doing well, and that rehearsals are much less confusing for me now that he's not named Hal. "Do You Copy" was formerly named "My Name is Hal" and thus the main character was 'Hal'. Though I have to say he was never meant to be me, and I have never been sucked into my TV.

Anyway Kate has provided some photos of the science fair, and the except from the puppet show on Flickr.

I'm glad to see that she got a good shot of my FX-ray device, (Fake X-ray, or Effects-Ray) which was my fun contribution to the science fair.
