To clear things up: Yes. I met Jim Lewis in St.Paul during the filming of EMHE. I was hired to provide a couple of props for the show that were used by the Muppets. It was an amazing, exciting, humbling and informative experience. All of the Muppet performers and Muppet support crew were...

The best advice: Don't be afraid. Of anything. Learning to build puppets is not an all-at-once thing. And there are no pat answers to any given question. The best thing to do is covenant yourself to experimentation, learning, testing, and yes... failure. Using the techniques and patterns...

Jim! Did you return home safely? Did you enjoy a frolicking reunion with your loved ones under the California sun and shake off the numbing chill from a Minnesota October? ;) I hope you had a good time in St.Paul! -Gordon

I would bet that you could guess easily. ;) -Gordon P.S. I have plenty of behind the scenes images from the filming, but I can't post them until the show has aired.

Up until about 10 hours ago, Steve Whitmire was in St.Paul, Mn performing Kermit and several other characters for a new episode of a famous show. I was there and personally witnessed the good happenings. I don't know if I can reveal any more than that. Steve is NOT out NOR down. Steve is...

I have a Dr. Who parody piece scripted for inclusion on Transylvania Television. But before that, I was planning a little piece that had the Doctor coming down with the rare Koozbanian disease Puppetitis... and transforming into a puppet. Just before the TARDIS was attacked by (gasp!) The...

Anyone? Beuhler? ... Beuhler? ... Beuhler? -Gordon "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop sometimes and look around, you might just miss it." - Ferris

That makes two of us! :) -Gordon

Super groovy! Thanks for the info! -Gordon

So for Christmas, my sister-in-law gave me a whole slew of back-issues of the PofA newsletter/magazine. In one of them from sometime in the early 1970's was what I can only imagine was an insert for the holidays from Carroll Spinney. Its a off-white paper with red printing featuring his...

hey! Anybody know the folks doing the Avenue Q currently playing in Minneapolis? I have tickets for the 9th of January (Wednesday) and would be really grooved out to be able to see the folks outside of the show or get back stage or what-have-you. -Gordon:)

You can find several books about the general techniques of muppet-style puppet building at the Puppeteers Of America Store. Go to the PofA website and you'll find a link (start at GOOGLE and move from there). The Foam Book is a great place to start. otherwise, if you have specific questions...

And then there's Transylvania Television... which is all about grown-up humor. -Gordon www.transylvania-tv.com

You may feel foolish, but well put sir! -G

Goes without saying... I couldn't disagree with you more. Can you please tell me the names of the liberal tycoons who own all those liberal media outlets in the United States? In deference to our good friends here on the board, please do so in PM. -Gordon

I think what you're looking for is the "FAUX News Channel". -Gordon
