Description
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Humanities and Social Sciences Putt-Putt holds up key to Slab City and how he had 200 people at his birthday party. Sherman says he’ll try to catch the next birthday party. Occasional shots of Putt-Putt’s mother are on tape now and then, too. Her handle is Baby Lima, hubby of String Bean. Good cutaway material of Leonard’s mountain (after the collapse) — the white Christian cross, Scripture, the bright floral patterns painted in the sand. More with Sheila as she sounds more self-assured than ever—“People depend on me to send them birthday cards.” & “I guess they think of me as Slab City.” Quality of video isn’t very good, too dark, during Sheila’s segment.
