    If there was a Muppet Disneyland Weekend...

    If there was a Muppet Appreciation week at Disneyland or WDW, who here would seriously go? They have these, or at least did for Star Wars...it would perhaps be the closest to a MuppetFest were likely to get again. Who knows if there is even a remote possibility of this(my nightmare senario would...

    To the long time posters...

    I refuse to believe you're all gone from here! Just checking to see how many long time posters(ie: folks who posted between 1998 and 2001) there are still on here. I know me, Luke, Kevin and of course Cindy and Phil are still here. Anyone else? The Jedi Counsel has been wiped out by the Sith! :D

    Why 2005 Will Be Our Glorious Year

    Yes, we do live in a surreal world...one where the Red Sox can come back from an impossible loss, where Arnold is a governor, and where MArtha Stewart is in prison. It's a surreal world...and for most of us it was a big shock when Disney finally bought the Muppets and Bear from JHC. But now we...

    Shadow Circus(for any fan of DC, Gorch, etc)

    There is this very interesting and avant garde puppet troupe here in San Francisco. Whereas Avenue Q is the hip metropolitain answer to Sesame Street, Shadow Circus is the gothic art crowd answer to Dark Crystal and The Land of Gorch. At clubs I go to, I would often see these performers walking...

    Most Outrageous Muppet Moments

    What do you think are some of the most outrageous moments in Muppet history? For me... 10. Early Muppets canned meat ads from the early 60's. A more dark sort of violent comedy Ive seen by the Muppets. I'd also have to tie #10 with the CBS Muppet Pitch from 1975. 9. The Muppet Show: Sex...

    Well, for the first time in 6 years I havent really been on the MC forums much. It's partly due to how busy Ive been with art freelancing, but also due to other things. There's an ol cliche adage that when it rains in pours..oh how true is that. So how does one truly bring themself out of...
