Bread and Puppet Theatre


When i was 8, my father also thought this looked like a grande idea.

1. get in car. summertime.
2. notice it is roughly 95 degrees farenheit. also notice there is no air conditioning in my grandfather's suburu outback.
3. spent 5 and a half hours getting there. its a one hour drive.
there was a lot of traffic. and a lot of parking difficulties.
4. hike an hour in the hot dust.
5. arrive at the site. the organizers forgot to plan water. i mean, water of any sort.
6. sit in a dust bowl watching men on giant stilts scream politics for roughly two hours.
7. jack cried through most of it.
8. walk the hour back to the car.
9. drive the hour home (no traffic on the way back, obviously).
10. swear never to attend again.
