| I
DECIDED TO VISIT FRIENDS IN PENNSYLVANIA! |
|
 |
ELWOOD DECIDED TO VISIT SOME CHILDREN AT ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN POTTSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA. THEY HAD A COUPLE OF GREAT FIELD TRIPS PLANNED FOR ELWOOD UNTIL ANOTHER VISITOR ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. IT WAS MR. SNOW AND 25 INCHES OF HIS FAMILY. ELWOOD NEVER DID GET TO SEE THE ANTHRACITE COAL MINE, BUT HE DID MEET A LOT OF NEW FRIENDS. EVEN 25 INCHES OF SNOW CAN BE FUN WHEN YOU SHARE IT WITH FRIENDS LIKE CAMARIA AND ELIZABETH. DID ANYONE SEE ELWOOD' S SHOVEL? |

STEVE
AXTELL INVITES ME TO BROWSE AROUND HIS STUDIO (AXTELL EXPRESSIONS) IN
VENTURA, CALIFORNIA. |
|
| ELWOOD TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO CHAT WITH STEVE IN ONE OF HIS PUPPET WORKSHOPS. STEVE EXPLAINS TO ELWOOD THAT THIS SHOP IS GOING TO BE THE SET OF A NEW KIDS VIDEO AND TV SERIES THAT HE IS PRODUCING RIGHT NOW. AS YOU CAN SEE, STEVE WILL NOT HAVE TO LOOK FAR FOR ACTORS AS THEY ARE ALL AROUND HIM. |

| SANDY
SHOWS ME HOW TO AIR BRUSH  |
IT TAKES QUITE A WHILE TO BECOME AN ACCOMPLISHED AIR BRUSHER AND SANDY IS ALL THAT. SHE SHOWS ELWOOD HOW TO BLEND THE COLORS JUST RIGHT TO GIVE EACH PUPPET THEIR OWN PERSONALITY. SANDY NOTICED THAT ELWOOD WAS A LITTLE PALE AND OFFERED TO REDDEN HIS CHEEKS, BUT ELWOOD DECLINED. HE WAS FULLY AWARE THAT AFTER SANDY WORKS ON THE PRODUCTION, SHE IS IN CHARGE OF SHIPPING AS WELL. SANDY IS THE ONE THAT MAKES SURE EVERY PUPPET GETS TO WHERE HE IS GOING. SHE ALSO SHIPPED ME OFF TO MY NEXT VISIT. |
| ELWOOD VISITED KATHY IN HER OFFICE AND SHE EXPLAINED TO ELWOOD WHAT GOES INTO BEING THE BOOKKEEPER AND PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO STEVE. SHE SHOWED ME HOW SHE KEEPS TRACK OF ALL THE INCOMING PUPPET MONEY, AND HOW SHE PAYS THE BILLS FOR ALL THE MATERIALS USED IN THE PUPPET MAKING SUCH AS THE EYES AND THE NOSES. SHE SPENDS ALL DAY WATCHING THE BUSINESS DETAILS SO THAT STEVE CAN CONCENTRATE ON HIS VISIONS. THE ONLY BOOKS ELWOOD WANTS TO KEEP IS HIS COLORING BOOKS. |
IT
IS TIME FOR BOOK KEEPING  |
