(This is being cross-posted to my deviantART account, FYI.)

I've been puttering around this for awhile, but since I finally posted as such on Jerry the Frog itself, I shall say so here as well:

I am terribly sorry to say that I am closing down the Hand Puppet Theatre. It's had an absolutely terrific run of almost six years, but now at last, I am ready to say goodbye.

No, it's not anything big or earth-shattering, it's just a lack of time, money and interest. I've been considering doing this for awhile, and have just in this past month decided to actually take steps to do it. So the plan is for the site to go down by the end of next weekend. I will announce when it does both here and at my dA account.

My plan was to have the puppet shows available for download, but it turns out that's not as feasable as I'd hoped. Curses! Even the possibility for it would just require a lot of tedious and mistake-prone work that I just don't have the time to do now, and won't really have the time to do in the future. I do apologize to the people who I said I would have stuff available for download! And I guess, the point of that being, if you'd like to look through some of the puppet shows before the site goes down, you have notice to do so, and now's your chance. Go for it!

I'm really sad that the site is going down, as I had lots of fun doing it, and it's given me many fond memories and helped me meet some really cool people! I'll always treasure those, and the huge amounts of absolutely incredible feedback I've gotten on it! But I think I would feel better overall if I officially close this chapter on my internet "career," as it were. I hope people understand it, and I completely understand if people are disappointed, especially with so many great movies coming out just this month. Enjoy the movies anyway, I say!

Again, this is just the announcement that the site will be down indefinitely starting next weekend. I shall say so then!
