Good on ya, son! :) -G

Now now... be fair. It looks like SHE's enjoying the presence of that little fluffy bunny as well. Especially in the second shot. The puppeteer just better hope that the talent didn't indulge in the baked beans available at the caft services table! Buzzkill! Whew! -Gordon

Well it was quite a blast, folks. The National Puppeteers Of America Festival was held in St.Paul, MN this past week. Five eighteen-hour days of workshops, performances by some of the world's great puppeteers and puppet troupes, and many hours of glad-handing and schmoozing with the...

Well, like any business, the bottom line for eBay is to make money. If this seller does complete a sale through the auction site, its an automatic percentage of that sale for eBay. And they don't necesarily WANT to pay attention too closely to the "gray area items" that are passing through their...

Well, I definitely don't want this to become a flaming thread... its already a hot subject full of passions one direction or another. But I really don't cotton to anyone trying to demonize doing what we all know is right. As I said earlier, I'm not the only one on this board who has reported...

Hey all, Just to report: I attended the PofA Festival and was most gratified to have the opportunity to talk with Telly and Snuffalupagus puppeteer Martin Robinson. I was lucky enough to converse with him for about 45 minutes. You can pretty much guess, he's a great guy. Very well spoken...

Can't afford it this year... trying to get us a new car! But have FUN y'all! Oh, and you can probably avoid going on Saturday... unless you LIKE feeling like a sardine surrounded by sweaty fans! EEEEEK! I suggest getting out on Saturday and seeing the city. Attend panels at the con if you...

Quite frankly, anyone who has taken the time to report this person's infractions is not to be made a villain here. And I will take personally any attempt to do so. I endeavor to respect the rule of law. Even when my personal feelings are to the contrary. You can call it being a rat, but...

I hope you're moving to bigger and better! Uness you don't want to and then it's smaller and worse! Or something! :) Anyway, THANK YOU for being a great help in your job at GA Stage and giving nothing but EXCELLENT service! -Gordon

Kevin, I'm not quite sure what you mean since that is not the meaning of my quote , but I can tell you that neither Disney nor eBay have the powers of omniscience. The good will of those who respect intellectual property rights is needed more often than one would expect. For the truly...

Folks, If you feel strongly about this, as I do, I suggest that you report it. Ebay really doesn't do much other than suspend the account, which this person immediately re-instates under a different name. But you can easily contact Sesame Workshop, The Jim Henson Company, Master Replicas...

WOW...what a flashback THAT is! I remember being babysat by one of my mom's friends and discovering that article in one of her magazines. I was absolutely fascinated and wanted so desperately to have my mom make me REAL muppets from that pattern! OUCH! My synapses are firing too fast! -Gordon

I'll be there for the whole shebang... as long as my wife will do without me. I'm really looking forward to connecting with more puppeteers. My first experience with a Festival was PuppetMania 2000 in LA. What a blast. And that was even through a pain-killer induced haze! (I threw my back...

Disney is just proving AGAIN that they DON'T GET THE MUPPETS as a property. How freaking hard can it be? -G

Looks like they've taken it down. -G

I've been toying with the idea of writing an article about patterning. I have a couple of pretty good tricks that help when you are trying to create your own custom pattern. Does anybody know a good place to post such an article should I ever get it completed? -Gordon

But back to the thread subject... I think the BEST way to get a job as a Muppeteer, in fact, other than industry cronyism, is to make a career for yourself as a puppeteer elsewhere. If you distinguish yourself on your own, build up a body of excellent work, and make yourself a superb puppeteer...

I never drew any sort of distinction between classic Muppet stuff and Bear. The show always ALWAYS lived up to the classic Muppet standards for me as a viewer. That's right... ME. I don't have kids. But I watched the show every chance I got and bought the videos when they became available...

So riddle me this, Batman... Why is it that FOX, the right arm network to fascist America, manages to continually provide the most interesting programming outside of their lopsided political coverage? Okay, okay... you caught me. I'm a rabid liberal. But the question is serious. If you'd...

BTW: I'm joing the JH group! Looks like a great group! -G
