MUCHACHO! I've been busy as ever. I was about to send you a note in case you were planing to go to SS Live at Bayamón but I'm late for that already. It was a nice little show. I'll check the list and see what I can do.

Man. Not only you are one of my hero writers but also another hero muppeteer. Takes off hat.

¿Todo bien, mi hermano? Where do you guys have that list? I'm not that "Plaza Sésamo" literate but I'll be glad to help.

The original version was a Televisa production and, like I mentioned before, CTW (aka Sesame Workshop now), took charge of the thing later. Bodoque sadly might be inside of some old trunk or ended up in the hands of some hyperactive kid. Mazuki Grouch?:confused: Now that's new for me.

Yeah, I was born watching both shows and wondering why they look so different one from the other. Another funny thing is that...I don't know... but these 72's Plaza Sésamo producers had some sort of black humor in their hearts. They used to scare kids everytime that Paco appeared on the window...

Scary indeed!! But what the heck, when one is a child even the scariest monster can be cute. Abelardo's voice was slow and dumb and it wasn't performed by the person inside the costume. I can't remember if he sings or not but I do remember him being scramed away by the screaming Paco many...

The very first Plaza Sésamo worked somehow independently from Henson and CTW by that time. My guess is that they bought the Henson puppets segments from CTW and created this "hybrid" of Sesame Street. Later on they refined the concept by creating "Montoya"; The latin equivalent of Big Bird. He...

This picture might have been posted here before but I found it on the net today and it brought a lot of memories: That's the very first Abelardo from 1972's Plaza Sésamo. He was a gargantuan stiff dragon. His beak moved with string that was attached to his hand. It was weird because you...

I have every Henson/Muppet related book except for that one. Thanks for pointing that out. There's a good excerpt from the book here: http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/excerpts/2003-04-28-wisdom-big-bird_x.htm

Aaagh!!:eek: You are right. Must've overlook that. Thanks.

Yeah. But for some cosmic reason it wasn't working this morning.

I was searching the net but I can't find any hotels that are close to the area. Any suggestions?

I am going. This is going to be quite a trip because I'll be flying from Puerto Rico.:eek: Hopefully I don't get lost.

The Toronto audition date is official I posted this on the puppetry section but tought taht some folks here might want to know this too. I just talked to a guy named Todd from MHC and the Toronto auditions will be held at MCC limited at 10:00 AM on November 7 witha callback on November 8. I...

The Toronto Date Is Official! I just talked to a guy named Todd from MHC and the Toronto auditions will be held at MCC limited at 10:00 AM on November 7 with a callback on November 8. I don't have the exact address but if someone from Canada is here maybe he or she can help. I got a 111...

Woah! Those are big news! No wonder the MHC lines have been quiet lately.

Hey, thanks! That's 'Monkey Jay' a character I build and perform for several local TV Shows. I have a couple, (and when I say a couple I do mean a couple), of pictures here: www.davealvarez.deviantart.com Check the "Scraps" Section. Eventually I will open another DA Account for the puppetry...

I figured something like that. In fact, I was about to do it that way. I received a large order of unsorted feathers.....*sigh*...:rolleyes: and I have to deal with those. Thanks for the tips.;)

Thanks for the help guys. Ravage Frackle's page is pure gold. Big Bird's feathers are hot-glued individually on the costume. The popular believe is that it takes 4,000 turkey feathers to cover the Bird. However, I did a similar job two years ago and it took 2,000 just to cover the head and...

I did the same and all I got was November 6 as a tentative date. Great pictures there, Fozz!;)
