Attend the Muppet Stamp Ceremony

[OverUnderAround]

Well, I took my own advise and watched 'Entertainment Tonight' to see if they mentioned the stamp ceremony. They did not, (maybe tomorrow, if ever) but they did show the unveiling of the Jim Henson Wall Sculpture Dedication for only five seconds.

How did it look?... Well, for the few seconds it was on... pretty poor quality I think.

Too bad.

Yes, a very brief view and I don't think the art style that was chosen for the sculpture did justice to Jim nor his creations.

I found this info online about the Muppet stamps, I guess they are offering it in different ways to collect. No details were given as what is exactly what below. I guess I'll print this list out and ask at the Post office.

I have photos of it I plan to post before long. I just didn't want to do it until after the unveiling.
