After five years, Doodad -- everyone's favorite hovering robot from
Astronuts (http://astronuts.shoestringscifi.com) -- flies again!

Since filming wrapped on the (still-in-postproduction) sci-fi farce
movie in 2001, the Doodad costume had been in storage, resting atop
whatever I could find to keep it off of the floor. When I moved two
years ago, the Doodad costume came, too, and it wound up in storage
in the third bedroom. As of tonight, Doodad flies again -- hanging
from a wall about four feet above the floor, separated from the wall
by a bed pillow, and "hovering" above the Millisecond Canary bridge
console prop.

I'm thinking about making a face for the costume. In the movie
Doodad's face was that of the lovely and talented Christina Boehm.
Even though it's fun to see the robot hovering in real life for the
first time, it looks incomplete without that cybernetically spiffy
grin and those super-cool optical scanners -- I mean sunglasses!

I'll post a photo as soon as it's on my computer.

I hope everyone is well. Keep in touch!
