Well, we could. But I'm easily discouraged, so let's not. :D We can go with "fewer than a hundred" for now; I'm sure that's accurate, if vague. Finished a very rough draft of a letter to city council/chamber of commerce/mayor/whatever of Greenville this morning. And just when I went to...

I'm trying to really sell it. I keep hearing Convincing John in my head, but he's not saying anything useful! Also, Word does not think that either "Fraggle" or "muppeteer" is a word. Hmph.

And how many people do we think we could reasonably expect to attend HensonCon in its first year? A hundred? Fifty? Fewer?

Pssst. Somebody research for me. How many people attended MuppetFest?

UGH, THIS IS HARD. You guys, I am so tongue-tied. Er, finger-tied? Plugging away, though. I'll have something (awful) for you soon.

Oh, wow. I have credentials?! :eek: :D Maybe we can each write one and then moosh together the best parts of both. "Moosh" being a technical term.

Bandit, I think you're on the right track...you wanna write it? ;) My contribution's going to have to wait until Monday; weekends are crazy with the whole family around. But I'll be thinking it out in the meantime!

Laugh. :) Ok, I'm going to go fix dinner. I'll come collect ideas later!

Except Kermit is missing, because we are all clearly among the loonies. :D

Start with the Chamber of Commerce and go from there?

Wait, I did? I said, I toyed with the idea! TOYED! LOL Ok, I'll take a crack at it. But I have three kids aged six and under, y'all, and they are trying to destroy my house. I'm not guaranteeing same-day service here. So anyway. Input! What are the salient points we need to get across?

You're right, Pinky, getting it written is the important thing...but we gotta sign it with something! I like HensonCon Planning Team, though. :-) I say we go with that! On the subject of getting other fan groups/sites on board, are any of you on Tough Pigs or otherwise connected elsewhere...

Man, I could really go for a sweater vest and a warmed port right now. That sounds cozy. ;) Well, we gotta call ourselves something. Whatcha got? All of a sudden, all I can think of is Sam the Eagle writing his letter about vermin, whistling things and lumps playing the harmonica to...

I think I'd rather they keep the movie under wraps until they have something good for us. But in the meantime, I wish they'd concentrate on keeping the Muppets in the public eye. Where are our internet vids? The performers have had enough of a break! Work, men, work! ;)

"We are HAVING a conVENtion in your TOWN. You want to help us out with that, don't you, mon amis? ...Don't you, mon amis?" :mad: 1) Okay, I think this was addressed earlier but not answered? What are we calling ourselves? In reality, we're a small group within one internet-based Muppet...

Speaking of Chelsea Handler, Bandit, that was an interesting one. I'd never even heard of her before Piggy's appearance. When I watched the clip, I was (and am) seriously offended that 1) anyone would talk to Miss Piggy like that and 2) that woman is evidently making a living by being rude and...

Oh, I hear you. Of all the "reality" tv shows, this is the worst kind. Let's make a competition out of human relationships! Ick. But, that said, it won't hurt the Muppets. They're at a place right now where no one's gonna confuse them for second-rate entertainers just because they're on a...

Well, I agree that it's a travesty that this show even exists (no one's actually said that, but it seems to be the general tone of this thread. ;) ). But from the preview clip, it looks like their segment manages to be cute and Muppety. A little like the Kermit-talks-to-the-guest segments of...

Jim Henson was responsible for so many of my favorite things. Sesame Street taught me to read before I went to kindergarten. The Muppet Show defined my sense of humor--my brother and I made Muppet jokes and references from as far back as I can remember to this day. Labyrinth was my first...

Oh, yes, you're right. I read that interview; it's marvelous. I DID notice that he didn't talk much specifically about the movie. Vague positives instead of vague negatives. Probably I'm just being paranoid. But I did read a magazine article when the movie was coming out. The guy who wrote...
