Hi Edwin, 

Thank you for sharing your cool idea with us! And for the detailed explanation and the cool pictures! 
We will discuss this next week on Monday during our team meeting, and will update you after!

I think it can be a fun addition to the festival. It is reasonably large (2x5 m base, 5 m high when extended). It has big illuminated eyes, can drive around, stretch it legs (the house is mounted on a hydraulic scissor lift) etc. (see pictures).
