COC - Penstock Loop (Slowpoke Trip)

The coolest part of this hike was seeing the two mooses (meese??) at the start of the trip. We got a good eyefull and then figured out our way around the beasts and continued on our journey. Honestly, Penstock Loop is not a great snow shoe trail. You are beside the dam, then on the dam, then across the highway, then beside the highway on the old road, then beside the broken down wooden thing. A bit of a nice stretch in the forest, then back over the highway, and down a plain-jane trail to the end. A do-once-only-if-you-have-to kind of trip. It will be a good backup beginner trip, though, for days that I have a Hogarth Lakes trip planned that can't go ahead if/when the Smith-Dorrion is in bad condition.

CCC - Famous Puppet Death Scenes by OYR

One Yellow Rabbit Presents: Famous Puppet Death Scenese by The Old Trout Puppet Workshop.

Audience advisory: NO PUPPETS WILL BE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS PIECE OF THEATRE.

Famous Puppet Death Scenes is a black comedy for adults - meaning your kids, or someone else's kids, will find it scary, confusing and will most likely give them a bad outlook on life generally. Lemony Snicket this is NOT.

The Old Trouts promise to cure your fear of death. No more anxiety about difficult choices, no more dreading birthdays, no more desperate pleas for immortality through fame, art or progeny. Through a collection of famous scenes culled from the absolute best puppet shows in history, the Old Trouts will deconstruct your traumatized psyche, then reconstruct you so that death means nothing anymore. In a way, promising ever-lasting life. Through a puppet show. That's right.

In a show exemplified by its title, the Master of Ceremonies will usher you through myriad scenes including an existential brutalization in a German children's television show; a tragic murder in a Black Forest fairy tale; a Neo-realist play about the Irish working class; a science fiction investigation into immortality; a funeral rite from some forgotten Japanese island; a segment from a seven-hour-long "theatre of the insufferable" production, and others. To top it all off, watch as your MC attempts to pull off the greatest puppet death scene ever performed-too bad good ol' Death himself is lurking in the wings.

Please note that this is a General Admission show - you are responsible for purchasing your own ticket. Tickets are available online at Ticketmaster.

We will meet outside the theatre 45 minutes before showtime to attempt to get our seats together.
