A few things we know about Patrick Elkins and his puppets...
Elkins' first novel, Ink on Dreams Of Transient Architecture, was published by Francis of Prussia in March 2007. Later that year he traveled to Indonesia, where he created a form of shadow puppetry known as "Wayang Kucing" (trans: shadow puppet theater for/about cats). He is one of the founders of "Totally Awesome Fest", and he has a puppet performance entitled, "The Very Wishy-Washy Caterpillar Meets the Most Irresponsible Piece of Cake in the World".
We cannot imagine a better way to spend an evening.
