the electric shoes are done. here are some pix of them. gabriel designed them. i designed the electric. i don't have pictures of anyone else working on them, but sigrid, anna, mike, john, bonnie and rebecca worked feverishly to get them done on time. yesterday, we built crates to truck them down to new orleans. these will debut in the krewe of muses parade on thursday, february 15, along with the electric butterflies, now in their eighth season. there are six pairs, variously themed. they're hung off an armature supported by a backpack frame on the pupeteer such that they appear to walk above the pupeteer's head. i'll be one of the pupeteers this year. in past years i've walked along as part of the support crew. the burning question for me is: which pair is for me?
