Hi Dan: I will have a big show this Sunday at the Cultural Center of
the Philippines. Here are one of the press releases:
From Andrew Young - Hi there, I run a
relatively new site called PuppetBuilding.com that is all about
building all kinds of puppets. The site is updated every weekday
with new tips, resources and tutorials. Please feel free to take a
look at
http://www.puppetbuilding.com and if you like it I would
love it if you would share it with your site's readers.
Something that your readers might be especially interested in is the
site's totally free Puppet Builder Directory for connecting builders
and people who need puppets. Builders can join and add a profile for
free at
http://www.puppetbuilding.com/puppet-builder-directory/
Thanks so much, you have a great site!
From the Magical Balloon-dude Dale - I would like to pass some
information on to you about an new directory being formed for
entertainers who have a myspace.com web site. I found it very
difficult to find other entertainers on myspace.com so I made a
directory for them to post the myspace web sites. It's free, I have
a category for Ventriloquism and thought your club members would
like to add their information. Please check it out at
http://www.mbd2.com/directory/
