Meet Mr. Float, a zombie but unlike Bixby this is a modern viral zombie. He was a juvenile from NYC before being caught by a hoard and turned. If he had tied his shoes he could probably have run away. Anyway he was found floating in Hudson Bay after falling off a dock into the ocean, good thing zombies float- since he can't talk and has no knowledge of who he was, he was called Mr. Brian Float by his rescuer (who mistook the word Brain on the back of his head for the name Brian.) Mr. Float works as a navigator on Captain Squidbeard's Airship... more on that at a later date.
I am creating an art float with friends and neighbors for this year’s Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade.
Our float for this parade features the Bamboodu Theater, a mobile puppet stage I created for civic events and art shows. Our first show stars Lady Liberty and Mr. Trump. As music plays, a Mr. Trump’s recent tweets and alternative facts appear on a news ticker. Each time Trump says something wrong, Liberty hits him on his thick, bobbing head.
As we march, we will invite parade watchers to sing along the inspiring poem by Emma Lazarus about the Statue of Liberty (“Give me your tired, your poor …”). Through this interactive art experience, we hope to engage people of all ages to change the world through civic action.
I am building this float with a wonderful team at the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), a local political group which I recently joined to resist the conservative takeover of our country.
I’m very grateful to all our friends and neighbors who are helping bring it to life: Danny Altman, Laura Boles, Jean Bolte, Phyllis Florin, David Glad, Peter Graumann, Edward Janne, Suz Lipman, Jean Marie Murphy and Mark Petrakis, to name but a few.
Our Bamboodu Float is coming along beautifully, and I can’t wait to show it off at the parade on Monday, May 29, 2017.
Join your neighbors to keep democracy alive!
