super puppet update
damon and i started building the skeleton for the booth today.
nothing is set in stone right now so if we need to make changes to the theme or the dimensions of the booth, we have until April 16th before things start getting permanent.
the skeleton of the booth is primarily being built with hinged 2X4's and is collapsable. the booth itself will be roughly 7' X 7' with a long rear ramp providing ground access and a pitched roof for rain protection. our current dimensions leave no room for a walkway to the bar itself but in trade the booth will be large enough for big epic shows, secret trap doors, mic stands, windows, bird spiders, goats, a chandelier, and more goodies to come. the booth will also hold 3 - 4 people comfortably for group performances and weird puppet orgies of which i will not speak of.
if we do want access from the bar platform itself, we will need to reduce the size of the booth and thus eliminate some of the "extra features". i'm guessing we should leave enough space on the platform for a 3' walkway with a safety rail? that would make the booth roughly 5' wide.
what do ya'll think? rear access and a bigger, better booth? or easy bar access and a smaller, simpler booth? i really like the larger interior but there is something to be said for being able to run from the bar into the karaoke booth in a split second.

The Puppet Show Booth
It was big trash day today so I went around and gathered lumber for the puppet show booth. The twins and I are going to start building it this Sunday. If it sits on the bar platform, how much space do you think we have to work with? It would be best if the booth has enough room to hold 3 people and the karaoke machine comfortably.
What are the dimensions of the platform, where is the bar being positioned, and what are the dimensions of it?
Also, I'm not sure if a visual theme has been outlined for the bar, but I think the puppet show booth is going to look like a burlesque version of the Amityville house complete with a sack of over 300,000 LIVING FLIES!
