Some weird guy sitting nearby before the parade was doing a little puppet show to nobody in particular.

This is a wider view of the puppets shot which I took earlier from an Indonesia restaurant. In this shot, you are able to view the typical tradisional costume, Sarong with Batik printing. Batik printing is a tradisional kraft where a design pattern is stamped on a plain cloth with colorful dye. Tradisional way, it is all done by hand.
The sign reads:
Welcome to our National Puppet Theatre and museum! Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! We invite you to see our Traditional Bukharan wedding ceremony, Anecdotes of Hodja Nasreddin and Girls party.
Our plays also feature horses wrestlers and cock-fights.
The show startes at 6 and 7 p.m.
Don't miss it!
This puppet was made by the puppeteer. She is a fairy who was making a trip to the real world and seeing amazing things.
Trip to Fairyland. Perfect day :)
"Puppets draw crowds to Oakland's Ferry Land for over 50 years
Oakland Tribune, Feb 26, 2004 by Kathleen Grant Geib, STAFF WRITER
RANDAL J. Metz's history of puppetry at Children's Fairyland in Oakland reads like a who's who of puppeteers in America.
It's also a terrific introduction to the world of puppets, particularly the world that has existed on the shores of Lake Merritt for more than half a century.
"Storybook Strings: 50 Years of Puppetry at Children's Fairyland's Storybook Puppet Theater" (Rappid Rabbit Publishing, $19.95) is as much a visual history of puppetry as a written one. More than half of Metz's book is dedicated to lively black-and-white photos of puppet shows, puppeteers and theater directors.
Metz's book also contains early Fairyland photos. You can view architect William Russell Everritt's models of Fairyland sets and a photo of William Penn Mott Jr. and Arthur E. Navlet, the creative minds behind Fairyland.
Metz describes Fairyland as a fun, accessible family park from the moment it opens in 1950. Even before the Storybook Puppet Theater is completed in 1956, puppet shows prove to be Fairyland's most popular entertainment. Metz describes the park as a magnet for the Bay Area's talented puppeteers.
Early puppet shows are presented by influential artists Ralph Chesse and Lettie Connell Schubert. Schubert is also particularly active in the early years of the San Francisco Bay Area Puppeteers Guild (SFBAPG).
Frank and Dorothy Hayward and Bruce Sedley also provide puppet shows at Fairyland in the early '50s. The Haywards' shows are part magic, part puppet-and-marionette shows, and Metz describes Frank as a gifted magician.
Hayward and Sedley
Upon completion of Storybook Theater, the Haywards are named puppet theater directors. Unfortunately, Frank suffers a fatal heart attack shortly after, leaving Dorothy both sole director and new mother.
In recognition for the theatrical support she receives from SFBAPG members after Frank's passing, Dorothy co-creates the San Francisco Bay Area Puppet Fair, an annual gathering of puppeteers at Fairyland.
Sedley, another early puppeteer, is famous at Fairyland not only for his sidekick King Fuddle, a ventriloquist puppet with whom he hosts cartoon shows on television, but also as creator of the Children's Fairyland Story-
book Magic Key.
Sedley's key idea begins when the puppeteer announces, on his television show, tours of Fairyland sets with King Fuddle. The puppeteer expects a few kids, but as the tours become popular, Sedley fears he will lose his voice from telling so many stories. Instead, he develops the idea of a Magic Key that kids insert into a "Talking Storybook" at each set, allowing them to listen to a story or song.
You can almost hear Metz's glee when he says Sedley's idea is still used in zoos and kids parks around the world. You never know what will emerge from the world of puppets, he seems to say.
Urbano and Coad
After Hayward retires as puppet theater director in 1959, handsome and talented Tony Urbano is appointed. Metz includes a photo of Urbano posing with his marionette, Prince Charming. It's uncanny how much they look alike.
Metz describes Urbano as a natural puppeteer who, as a youth, is fortunate enough to work with both Chesse and Schubert. After a stint in the armed forces, Urbano returns to Fairyland and works with Hayward and a young Frank Oz, of Muppets fame.
Unfortunately, Urbano's love of theater leaves him overworked, and in 1962 he bids farewell to Fairyland. The puppeteer's eclectic career includes television ads starring Snuggle Bear and the Parkay Tub and work in both "Men In Black" films. more>>

Living with an animator means access to wonderful things like puppet pins.
I thought I would use my Raynox DCR250 for the first time in years.
PUPPET! I wish I would have picked up something to remember whose booth this was.

Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.
This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of french poet Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, playing with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, trees and graveyards, to name but a few. We then tape our puppets on wooden sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach, from Nov. 3 to 12, 2016.
I also plan to use some of these techniques with our lower and middle school students, for the Maker Art courses I will be teaching this fall.
From shadow puppets to poetic robots, these interactive storytelling experiments have the potential to engage us at a deeper level and help us learn more about ourselves.
