1. What's your most favorite puppet? (assuming you made it, but realized that you could answer it with another person's.)
Wow. That is such a hard one....It might be Ralph the Klingon which is how Peter and I met. It might be the puppet It made of a friend of mine that I gave to him right before he died (they weren't connected I assure you). It might be the first monster I made with my buddies Jeff & Angelo which they still have. But I think it was the first one that I completed on my own because it proved to me that I could do it. I could build puppets
2. Your favorite story/event/person from Dragon Con. Again so many.
Being introduced to Timothy Leary "Dr. Leary, this is Kathleen O'Shea. She is a stage manager and puppet. Kathleen this is Dr. Timothy Leary." Dr Leary" Wonderful to meet you Kathleen. Wanna toke?" Me: "Please to meet you too and maybe later." We then ran into each other the next day and ended up talking for almost two hours about all kinds of things.
Meeting Neil Gaiman which I would not have done unless Jill Thompson had insisted that I take my Morphy puppet to meet his spiritual "daddy". That was the beginning of a friendship that I hold dear to this day.
I was once sitting with Peter and his then wife Myra, Harvey Pekar and his wife. We were joined by a friend who said that the O'Sheas were very well know in southern fandom and you could stop a random southern fan, ask them if they knew the O'Sheas and they would either laugh or want to tell you a story about the O'Sheas. The next person by was Uncle Timmy who has known my family for a long time so he laughed AND told them a story.
3. If you could take 20, 30, 40 years off you and learn one skill (without sacrificing anything from your life now), what would you learn and why?
How to draw. How to really draw. Because there is a lot I can do in this world but drawing ain't one of them
