I know some of you are in Australia, but I’m not sure which parts. You must, MUST, take advantage of the Unima World Puppet Festival in 2008. UNIMA is the international puppetry organization. It is the oldest continually operating arts organization in the world. This festival will have shit-hot puppetry at it. Man, I wish I could go.

I’m delighted today. If you take a look at the pdf of the 2007 Hugo Nominations you’ll note Shimmer’s name. While I’d love to see the magazine make it onto the ballot for semi-prozine, our spot on the list of runner-ups is very satisfying. Thank you to the ten of you who nominated us!
