Since the day Blood from a Turnip began in February of 1997, BFaT as the salon is affectionately called, has offered professional puppeteers and those new to the art form an opportunity to present big stories, in miniature. Co-curated by Vanessa Gilbert, and Boston-based, electronic puppeteer Evan O'Television, BFaT continues to redefine itself, but refuses to grow up.

Televised Evan announces his retirement and a new reality series to find his replacement is born. *David Higgins- Bedtime for Gonzo. A meditation on the demise of political reporting as seen from the grave of Hunter S. Thompson *With charming and personable musical interludes provided by Jacob Haller.
