    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    As someone who has also visited the set on two occasions now, I can tell you that you have to have a connection to get in like Zns did with Marty Robinson. It is not open to the public, for tourists or anything like that. The first time I went was in 1993 and was arranged through Kevin Clash...

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    I remember Aristotle! I have no idea what happened or what their reasoning was to retire him as a character. I think it would be great if they brought back a character with blindness or some other disability. I remember they had the human character Tara on several years ago who was in a...

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    I don't mind as long as you give credit that I took them. I also got scolded for taking pictures which is why if you notice I have none of when Telly and Elmo came out. Between myself and a guy in front of me who also was taking alot of photos, the security staff was eyeballing our section big...

    Neil, that is awesome you got to go to the afterparty. If I could've swung the money I definitely would've been there. I just have too many personal expenses coming up to have gone. I'm glad someone here got to see Frank Oz. Even though I didn't get to meet him, I was just so thrilled to see him...

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    I had a blast last night. First off, I want to say a special hello to Ploobies, MuppetNewsGirl and Street Scenes, great to meet you all and put faces with the names! Stulz, was very awesome chatting with me and my boyfriend after the panel. Dave (Vic Romano) I'm sorry I didn't get to meet up...

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    I'm not sure what time we're going to get there myself. Boyfriend and I are going to be on our way from NYC around 3:30 or so. We hope to get there within a reasonable amount of time. So I'm not sure if we're going to be able to make a proper meet up before the seminar. But hope we at least get...

    Aw, that's so nice of you and your family! We're really playing the whole day by ear. Unfortunately last time my boyfriend and I were in NJ his GPS system didn't work properly but I made sure I printed out directions today to the hotel, to the college, etc.

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    Sounds good to me! I'm hoping the surprises either means, unannounced guests, an appearance by actual Muppets or a meet and greet with the fans!

    Met Dave Goelz and Steve Whitmire!

    VERY nice! Great pics and thanks for sharing your story. I agree, they're both the nicest guys in person.

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    yeah I was told the same thing when I originally emailed the woman in charge of the event at the university. That really does stink. On the other hand maybe by some chance if the panel sees a bunch of fans are waiting who couldn't afford to get into this nonsense they will make an exception...

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    I'd love to meet up with everyone before hand, but unfortunately I'm coming straight from my job in NYC. Trying to navigate out of the city on a Friday afternoon during rush hour isn't going to leave us a lot of time considering the event starts at 7. If we do get into NJ sooner our priority is...

    Jim's Resting Place

    Remember what happens when you assume ;) But seriously England and NYC are the places we hear the most about. Jim lived in various places throughout his life and there's probably a lot we don't know as fans about his personal life, where he lived, etc.

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    Unfortunately not gonna have time to make dinner I dont' think. We're gonna be coming straight from work in NYC and just want to get down to the college. If anything we're gonna check in our hotel first and drop off our stuff before heading out and eat later on.

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    I'm wondering how much socializing is going to be going on after the seminar? I was just thinking it's gonna be great to see everyone but how much time are we all going to really get to talk? Especially if there's the signing afterwards with the author and the guests everyone's gonna be kind of...

    Jim's Resting Place

    MSNBC ran a special awhile back on Jim Henson called "Time and Again" it was basically a biographical special on Jim's life and career done in the late 90s. There was a clip of footage of him and his children riding around on horses on what looked like a ranch. Just because we never actually...

    Hi! We're staying at the Residence Inn in Wayne, NJ. If you go to Expedia and look it up they have a lot of info there. Starting rates were $119 a night. When I went to look for a place, I just typed in hotels close to the college. That was the first one that came up. Looks like a nice place.
