OK, I saw it. I thought you invented the term, but I was wrong.

Nope. I didn't invent it. I just gave it a new life...

Yes you are! You just throw that in there for no reason at all! It would be like if I suddenly announce that I don't like potato chips.

And I really don't like potato chips...

Matt-

Like the others said, it's up to the individual performer. I remember that Jerry Nelson reads almost all his mail (one fan said that Jerry (or Henson) actually paid over $1 to have a *heavy* letter mailed back to them. Typical kindness of members of the Henson staff!)

I've talked with a few performers, but mostly through e-mail, so I don't know exactly who responds to what.

Have fun,

- Billy :cool:

Fan Letters are an awesome idea! I'm thinking of writing to Caroll Spinney, however I don't know what to write. Ideas anyone?

How about:

Dear Mr. Spinney,
You were such a positive influence in my life. Your performance of Big Bird has enriched my being since I was a child, and has continued to do so to this very day. Even though I don't know you personally, I consider you a dear friend, and a mentor that has helped shaped me into the human being I am now. Thank you so much, you rock very hard...and I Love You :smile:

Sincerely,
<Your Name Here>

You can use whatever of that applies to you. And BTW...it isn't wrong to love him!!! :big_grin: (I think we all do)

-Matt
