Field notes
The timeline documents successive builds: marbled bouncy-ball eyes with headlamps, later EL wire and a pool-noodle smile, then a Craigslist EZ-GO rebuilt with dashboard switches and USB ports. It also notes a practical failure point: bubble machines often do not last a full festival. Earlier carts hauled gear and shuttled musicians at Florida’s Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park; later versions appeared at North Carolina events.
