Big D (little a-double-l-a-s)

We're off to Dallas today, yee haw! For those of you who have never been to Dallas, let me give you just a little history. It was settled in 1841, incorporated into a town in 1856. It's been growing ever since. Above is a photo taken in the early 20th Century. At right is Dallas as it appears today.

Some interesting facts about Dallas: In 1855 immigrants from France, Belgium, and Switzerland settled west of town to organize a Fourierist utopian community, La Reunion. In 1937 Dallas blondes went on strike. In 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered live on TV. In 1984 George W. Bush purchased the Texas Rangers. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions about what all that means because I sure as hell don't know.

And now Small Appliance Puppet Theater is going there. Pulse rate up, adrenaline pumping. First we took Manhattan, now we take Big D! Come see us at the Dallas HUB Theater tonight-Sunday, Sept 8-10.
