In a startling and unprecedented Turnip first, BLOOD FROM A TURNIP has joined forces with THE PUPPET SHOWPLACE in Brookline Massachusetts to bring you the first ever SLAMTASTIC PUPPET MINI-TOUR! "Two cities in two nights!" exclaimed Turnip visionary, Vanessa Gilbert, "It was more than even I could have ever dreamed of!" As for how this arrangement came about, plaything & Turnip spokes-berdache, Marsian explained, &After sold out shows and with an audience that has been fatigued by reality television, I believe that these late night puppet slams are becoming the next wave in American vaudeville. . .so much so that I predict puppeteers will be the next rock stars!& Added the furry co-hostess, &It was only natural we went on tour.& Boston puppet mogul, Carl Wieting joins the Turnip gang, as does alpha-male, Matt Kandarian, filling in for Ms. Gilbert while she is off on assignment. &I haven't been this excited to host a pupet show since Ms. Doucette's kindergarden class&, admited Kandarian, candidly.
