New Alien Puppet

As some of you might know I am the resident magician/juggler/magician at Coral Ridge Presbyterian.  I have been plying my trade in this area for a long time and payed my way through school by doing birthday parties, corporate gigs, comedy nights, and just about anything else I could get to make a few bucks.  I’ve been a chicken outside of a chicken wing restaurant as well as the old Mac Tonight when he was a McDonalds character.  I have performed (with my very good friend and partner Dave; I should say juggling partner, what with all that “partner” implies these days) all over the US and a few times in Canada.  We can still be caught on Nickelodeon re-runs with our old “Zucchini Brothers” act.

All of that to say that I have been doing CRPCs Vacation Bible School for the last 13 years and have done a lot of the same stuff with a lot of the same puppets for all of that time.  Many of the older kids know my stuff as well as I do. This years theme is outer space and I will be “Space Man Sam” (not an entirely bad title for me I am told by some).  I decided since this year’s theme is outer space that I would get an alien puppet.  I actually waited until the last minute, but I bought one today from EBay.  I don’t want to spoil the whole surprise, but here is a shot of his face.

Let me know what you think.  I don’t have him yet, but I’ll let you know how he acts, sounds, and what his personality is like once he arrives.  If you are around Ft. Lauderdale in a few weeks and would like to help out or just stop by for VBS, call Coral Ridge at 954 771-8840 for more details.  I remember VBS as one of the great times of my life as a child and I want to pass that on to the kids at Coral Ridge.  I want them to leave thinking, this is a great place to be; I really like coming to church.  I’ll let you know how that turns out.
