walk on stilts

I forgot about this goal but I found a fun “how to” link for others interested - on a site called deliciously enough “dangerously fun” - and it looks dirt simple:

I saw a documentary about the Vermont based theatre troupe Bread and Puppets last month. (I’ve seen them perform a couple times and it’s quite a delightful rustic spectacle if you ever get the chance and are near Glover Vermont) Regardless, it reminded me of how much fun it would be to walk on stilts. (I also saw a play in Toronto where three Valkyries marched back and forth across a stage on those ceiling-painter stilts. Very effective.)

I’ve got wood; the documentary showed folks tying the stilts to their feet with rags; and maybe I’m just stupd enough to try this.

Next step will be to find plans for stilts on-line. I hope to have this goal accomplished by July ‘06.
