Yeah like Meep said people are shelling out $100 for the benefit, plus he's due to be a guest on the Q&A panel the same afternoon. Alan the curator of this whole event told me on the phone their plan is to have the performers around throughout the whole weekend and have them accessible for...

Yeah I remember hearing something about that too! Unless I've got it confused with another Sesame Street project?

Actually looking at the cover again I noticed it DOES feature the international Sesame characters but Bert and Ernie are prominently featured in the center....

Exactly. Most people have no idea who the foreign Sesame characters are so from a marketing standpoint if someone is in a store and they're on the cover, they're going to be confused. So they put the popular characters on the cover to attract people. On the other hand it does make sense to...

No, this was a documentary about two filmmakers who filmed the whole process of trying to get new regional versions of Sesame Street up and running in different countries. So the focus was mainly on the new characters they were building for these new productions.

Yeah that was a great scene. You could tell these people were so overjoyed to have this kind of opportunity where normally that area is stricken with so many problems. I also found it quite remarkable how most of those performers never puppeteered in their life and managed to learn enough to...

Yes I had tears in my eyes by the end of the film. It's truly amazing that the gift of the Muppets has been brought literally around the world and brought the same joy we get from them. Jim Henson would be proud for sure. It was also really interesting to see all the struggles they went through...

Thanks, Dwayne :)

It was a premiere screening for the documentary "The World According to Sesame Street". Marty was on the guest panel along with the filmmakers after the film was shown and he was cool enough to offer to let me get a picture with Telly. I originally asked to get just a pic taken with him but he...

Muppeteers in all seriousness, are some of the nicest people you want to meet EVER.

Well I don't think you're going to be sued or anything. LOL He didn't tell you anything different than what he told me aside from going into more details about who they tried to get as guests...

Sarah, I also spoke with Alan yesterday and he more or less told me the same info you received regarding the panel discussion, guests, etc. This is going to be a super cool event. I'm only going to two screenings on Saturday (Commercials & Experiments and then later on at night...

AWESOME story,Gordon. Martin is a great guy. I met him for the first time last year when he was at an event at the Museum of TV & Radio (now the Paley Center for Media) here in NYC. He also gave me a lot of time, let me get a picture with Telly which can be found on my MySpace at...

All the info is at www.cinemaartscentre.com

It's only 200 seats because that's how big the theater is.

Ok, I just called them about the free panel discussion. Apparently these guys have NOT made up their minds regarding how they're distributing these. The guy I just spoke to at the box office first off had NO clue that they were giving them out August 3rd as stated on their website. He said HE...

I'm gonna be there for most of Saturday..going to the free panel (hopefully depending on tix), the Commercials and experiments screening and Labyrinth...
