Saturday? Eep! We were pretty contentedly snowed in that day. :)
I'll ask J about the url of the site that had the themes starting in 1995- it was pretty cool to have them all in one place.
The only other events we've been to are the Props Days- but they are so much fun! We keep thinking we should do more, but we always end up with so much more to do than time to do it in... plus, we don't really know anyone else going, so that's a bit of a drag.
I did miss one year in our span- I was ill- but J and K went, and I think she brought a friend along. Disappointing for me, though...
I did quite like this one- it was really coherent, which some aren't. It was also nicely seasonal. While I liked the gypsy one as a show, for example, I didn't think it was especially seasonal, and the stock pieces didn't fit very well. (Unlike the pre-Columbian one, which was amazingly coherent, we thought, despite the vast cultural spread; they did an amazing job of integrating it all, esp. the symbols.)
My absolute favorite, though, was the Lapp/Finnish one- I think it was the third or 4th year we went. Just- breathtakingly magical. They had these AMAZING and varied puppets... Although I do love many of them!
