Goodbye, Tapestry of Nations!!!

[sillyspook13]

Since people were being bums and posting how much they hate Tapestry of Nations, I have decided to delete my previous thread on this topic. Do not post on this thread if what you are going to say is in any way showing negativity towards the parade. This includes people complaining of "not being a parade person". Is this clear? Yes? Good.

As I was saying....

Wow, it's hard to believe there is only one day left of Tapestry of Nations! This evening's first performance was cancelled due to the rain. Luckily the rain let up enough to allow the second parade. Although it started pouring during the parade, it went on. I was watching my friend Carlos as Sage, greeting the puppets as they passed through the gate. Security guards were telling Carlos to go backstage; the parade was going to be cut short due to the weather. Carlos said "No, this is my last performance and I refuse to go backstage. I WILL finish this parade." The puppeteers had been rushed to end the parade early. When the last few puppeteers noticed that Carlos was not leaving they stayed out with him, in the rain, until the parade was finished. Of all the performances of Tapestry I've seen, this had to be the most inspiring.

There was no negativism...just that we are saying that the two shows are going to be basically the same and their is no need for mourning.

Actually, they will not be the same. Even the puppets are going to be altered.

Sillyspook.... don´t take it personal friend... people were just sharing their opinion as you did with yours...

I like Tapestry, love the music, but I honestly think, it kinda bored me a little to see it over and over again everyday... the puppets were great but many of the same gets tiring after half an hour. I am not saying it should dissapear, but maybe you will like the other one better, don´t u think? Cheer up girl! They will do a good job... don´t worry.

ehh.. later ToN... you really hurt my back. Hello ToD.. I won't be there for you to hurt my back too.

I agree that it is always very very sad to see something wonderful like ToN go and I do agree that ToD is completely different. I think that they should alternate the two parades every other night---more joy more joy!

LOL! Which puppet were you? I was told that different puppets rest differently on the back of the puppeteer. Thus, some puppets hurt more than others. For example, Sprites tend to pull the wearer backward, and the Marionettes pull the wearer forward. I was also told that the harnesses are being replaced with more comfortable ones.

I was actually hurt during ToD rehearsals wearing marionette. I was then recast into MK Parades.
