Los Angeles- On October 7, four legendary artists will be
honored for their contributions to the under-appreciated genre
of bubblegum music at the 2nd biannual Bubblegum Achievement
Awards. The ceremony honoring Steve Barri (Lancelot Link), Ron
Dante (Archies "� "Sugar Sugar"), Joey Levine (Ohio Express "�
"Yummy Yummy Yummy") and novelty DJ Dr. Demento will be preceded
by a spectacular new marionette show written and performed by
master puppeteer Bob Baker, who for more than 60 years has
amazed the kids of Los Angeles--and their parents--with his
inventive and exquisite creations, but who rarely performs at
his own theater.

Bob Baker"s puppets have performed for hundreds of film,
television and commercial clients, working with stars like Elvis
Presley, Judy Garland and the Three Stooges. For the Bubblegum
Awards show, Bob Baker dug deep into his massive collection of
rare record albums to find the perfect soundtrack to express the
horrors of Halloween and the giddy, silly pleasures of bubblegum.

Every Bob Baker puppet show has a show-stopping number, often
using black light to startling effect. For the Bubblegum Awards
show, Bob is creating a program that"s nothing but
show-stoppers, calibrated to keep the audience gasping from
start to finish. Among vignettes featured are a
bubblegum-powered dance of the gumdrops, an Asian-themed
umbrella ballet, a visit from a wacky spaceship brigade from
Venus, and an outrageous Monster Rally starring all of Bob"s
beloved ghoul, goblin, vampire and skeleton marionettes.

This special edition Bob Baker show has never been seen before,
and is being exclusively created to accompany the 2005 Bubblegum
Achievement Awards, on October 7 at Bob Baker"s Marionette
Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Other featured events include
the premiere of Kier-La Janisse"s documentary based on the book
"�Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth,"� the presentation of dozens
of valuable raffle prizes, free cake and Bazooka bubblegum, and
live appearances by Canned Hamm, the Bubblegum Queen, Abram the
Safety Ape and the Archies" Ron Dante.
