Thanks for the great intro Cindy!!

Just want to make sure everyone knows that this is the Tuesday at midnight showing, so even though it's technical at the beginning of November 23rd, it's actually really really late on Tuesday night. I'm such a die hard fan like many of you so I had to check out a Tuesday midnight showing.

I plan to get there around 8 or 9 to make sure that I have great seats.
Wear you favorite Muppet gear so we can spot each other- I'll be wearing one of the first Muppet T-shirts I ever bought- a black T-shirt with Gonzo in a daredevil outfit flying through the air while holding Camilla with the saying, "Dare to be Different"

Let me know if you are coming so I can watch out for you. I might have an extra ticket as well, but I'll have to check on that and let you guys know for sure.

I can't wait to hopefully meet some of you and have some great Muppet conversations before going in and seeing this awesome new movie!

Just found out that the first 50 people to show up for the midnight showing here get a free Muppets poster- awesome! I'm definitely going to try to be there around 8 or 8:30 to hopefully get one of these!

I have an extra ticket so if anyone needs one, private message me and let me know.

I'm grabbing a quick bite to eat then I'm heading on over to the theater- I decided to be all Miss Piggy Diva and wear my new Piggy in Paris shirt instead, lol.

I have some muppet stuff with me in case I get bored and we can do trivia with the new Muppet joke book to pass the time

Remember the first 50 there get a Muppets poster! Hope to see everyone there tonight, I'm so excited!!!!!!!!

The Midnight showing of The Muppets at the AMC Hoffman 22 was great- probably about 50-60 people in the theater and many were die-hard fans!

One guy had a "Kermit the GORF" shirt (hilarious reference to a funny Sesame Street skit where Kermit loses his cool over ordering a Kermit the Frog t-shirt)

Thanks to everyone who came out- it was a blast and the movie was great, not perfect when looking at it through a die-hard fan's perspective, but pretty amazing none the less

I can't wait to see how the movie does this weekend- it's totally going to top the box-office!!!
