I certainly was not saying anything about their talent. :-) When they arrived I just figured they were ringers and was very surprised to hear they didn't get anything cause they already had a job! :-) Grant

Anyone can audition, you just need to know when the auditions are. Grant

We just put up another whole round of auctions for our Muppet Action Figure Display Racks. If you've bought these from us in the past, we'd love to see pictures of them. Series 1-3 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=348&item=5952185974&rd=1...

Thanks Scraps. It sounds very similar to what I heard of this audition. Several people showed up that morning in Playhouse Disney Jackets and I was told afterwards, that a few of them didn't make the cuts, which surprised me very much. I will be on the lookout for future auditions. Grant

Well I tell you, I didn't even get to audition. As I said I had worked for Disney 10 years prior and it turned out that when I left in 95, someone mistakenly entered in the wrong rehire status in my file. So when they looked up my name they said I couldn't audition. I was more than a little...

I recently came upon a White and Tan shirted Lips figures. Some minro damage to each shell at the lower corners, but both are still sealed perfectly. Would be willing to consider trading for any of the following: WW Dr. Teeth B&W White Tux Rowlf Black Jacket Rizzo Adventure Kermit Brown...

No. I worked there two years on the Jungle Cruise and other attractions. Since then I haven't worked for disney unless you count the Muppet Pilot this past summer, but that was a Henson thing. I am planning on heading out to this audition. I'm just wondering if they want us to bring a...

I too worked at DLand from 1993-1995. Lots of fun.

I'm going. I'm hoping it'll be pouring rain like it has been for days now and it'll drive off all the other puppeteers!

Guess I may just have to go! Grant

John To Teach Class At UCF Darn the 3,000 plus miles between me and Florida. I just found out starting next month John Kennedy will be teaching a puppety class at University Of Central Florida. So if you're in the area GO! I searched UCF's website and didn't find anything about it on...

Did anyone make it out to PuppetSlam last Thursday in Los Angeles? I had to do a show in Houston, so I missed it, but would love to hear a report! Grant

In the Muppets make Puppets book there's a tutorial on how to make a very similar worm out of a regular kitchen sponge. Basically you just use scissors and kind of carve out the round worm shape and then shove a wire in each end. (It's a little more detailed than that, but that's basic idea...

I've read it and it's good. Can't wait for the next one. Jim Carrey will ruin Olaf though. There will be 13 Books total (not counting the Unauthorized Biography). Grant throwingtoasters.com

I found the Muppet Magic/Ed Sullivan DVD for $12. Cheap at twice the price. I love the JAVA sketch. I would love to build those puppets and do a tribute performance at the school I teach at. But I have a question. I know the Puppeteers are dressed in black with a black background. I know...

Two plastic spoons, sanded down on the edge. Fake $3 eyelashes and black "no scuff" dots that you can buy at hardware stores. The two fish puppets are the first times I tried to make "Henson" looking eyes. The contact cement stuff works good, but I switched to Hot Glue and it worked just as...

I've updated my Puppet webpage. It's moved though to a new location... http://homepage.mac.com/toasterboyg4/PhotoAlbum34.html Grant

Rumor has it that John is working on a book much like the Foam Book as well. Grant

Is there a limit on the number of puppets we can enter? I built two in the past year. Thanks! Grant throwingtoasters.com
