Okay, many of you might remember me posting in August about the puppeteering audition at Henson. Well....HERE IS THE RESULT!

Dear Mr. Dillon,

We recently recieved your demo tape regarding your intrest in becoming a puppeteer with the Jim Henson Company.

Kevin Clash has reviewed your tape and was very impressed by your work. Though we would like to invite you to our next workshop for an audition and training, we have no set date at present. Therefore, we will keep your detials on file and contact you accordingly.

In the meantime, I am returning your tape as I thought you might like it back. We know how much work goes into creating one. Thanks so much for your intrest and keep up the good work.

Sincerley,
Joe Roddy

BTW, Joe Roddy is Kevin's assistant. I am sooo excited! Thanks so much for your support, guys!

When I saw this, my jaw dropped so far, it now hurts!

Congratulations, man! That's awesome! Wowee! I can hardly believe you're getting an opportunity like that! It's amazing!

I hope they take you on! I'm really happy for you!

Expect Byron to come on here telling you how jealous he is.
