    Jim Henson Wall Sculpture Dedication

    Your pics.. Great photos!!! I think it's awesome you got to meet Brian and Lisa Henson (I went to the NY event and met Cheryl and Jane) and you got to meet Victor Yerrid. He was my intern advisor when I worked for Henson back in 1999. He's a great guy. I didn't know he was running the current...

    Celebrating Jerry Juhl

    I found this info on the Jim Hill website: Speaking of Mr. Juhl ... Though no formal arrangements have been made as of this time, Susan has reportedly requested that -- in lieu of flowers -- that donations be made in Jerry's name to the Caspar Community Center as well as the Save the...

    Celebrating Jerry Juhl

    I had two or three opportunities where I had the chance to meet Jerry Juhl and never did due to conflicting circumstances. However, while I wasn't close friends with Mr. Juhl I corresponded with him via e-mail every once in awhile particularly around the holidays. He was always so funny and kind...

    MTR Screenings-Celebrating 50 Years

    I met Jane at the last Henson event at MTR too. She's very sweet and seems a little shy about all the attention. :) But glad to see her again and finally get her autograph this time.

    MTR Screenings-Celebrating 50 Years

    I was there as well. Cheryl and Jane were both very warm and friendly and I attended the screening of Down In Fraggle Rock: Behind the Scenes and the puppeteer demonstration by Tyler Bunch was LOTS of fun. He's a very funny guy and very nice as well. Met him briefly after the demo and very gracious.

    Jim Henson Grandkids?

    Yes, if you go to Wireimage.com or Rex Features.com or any of these publicity photo websites, there's shots of Jim's grandchildren in attendance when Kermit received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I don't know who out of the 5 Henson kids has children but I know Brian has mentioned in...

    MTR Screenings-Celebrating 50 Years

    Matt, I don't believe so because the Museum of T.V. and Radio only has branches in NYC and L.A. However, perhaps some of the local Chicago museums are doing their own events in the upcoming months??

    Vic, Actually no it's not only in CA. They're having events simultaneously both in NY and L.A. on the same day. The NY events will have Cheryl Henson signing copies of her book "It's Not Easy Being Green..." and from what the folks at the museum told me when I called up for more info...

    Henson event at MTR

    Buck-Beaver, First off I love your website and puppetry blog. Keep up the great work! Second, that's really wacky about the event. This is why I've been holding off on calling them because normally when I get those preview guides in the mail as a museum member, they usually have...

    Vic, Yeah I can't guarantee I'll find out any more info. I don't want to pester them either. But hopefully someone will get back to me and I will try calling once and will hopefully get more information.

    Hi, Vic, Sure the link to the museum's site is www.mtr.org And click on the New York branch link. Unfortunately there's no additional info as of yet on their website. It must be in such early stages right now. I hope we find out more as the event gets closer!!

    Henson event at MTR

    Hi, everyone, I just received my Fall preview guide for the Museum of T.V. and Radio in NYC. According to this on Sept. 24th Jim's (and Steve's!) birthday, they will be having a celebration of Jim Henson's work from 12-4 p.m. The description is very vague...all it says is...

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    Well I bought the box set and Muppets Wizard of Oz which I didn't plan but considering you got $10 off Muppet Show if you bought it at Best Buy I said why not...Anyways, so far I'm really enjoying the set. There's episodes I've never seen in their entirety and even the cuts I've seen so far are...
