Fan Mail

[Kiki]

I would put on the lower left hand corner of the envelope: ATTN: Muppeteer Steve Whitmire (for example.)

Thank you pal, cheers.

I know it's probably something really simple that I could find it I were too look around but I want to make sure I get the right adress. If I were to want to wirtie fan mail to either Brian, Lisa or even Jane Henson. Would I simply address the letter under their name to the Jim Henson Company. If so what address must I use.

I emailed The Henson comapny asking them but got a response simply saying I should send my fan mail to the same email address but i'd like to send a letter rather than an email. Could someone please help me out?

Thank you

AAAHHHH!!!!
So I go to take out the trash here at our new place when I look on the floor of the foyer and see the mail man has left a large envelope which was too big to put in our mail slot. Upon closer inspection, the address on it is my old address in my handwriting. "Hmmm..." I think, "that looks vaguley familiar." And guess what? IT WAS THE SASE I SENT TO JERRY NELSON OVER A YEAR AGO!!!! He mailed me back three, count 'em THREE pictures he signed! One of Robin, one of the EM and one of him using Fat Blue on which that one said: "To Dave, all the best to you. Jerry Nelson"
Jerry, if you're reading this; thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I'm so happy I'm actually crying a little bit!

Hey vic, what address did you use?

 

[Vic Romano]

Oh man, I sent it so long ago that I don't remember! And it wasn't on my SASE, so I'm not sure, I'll see if I can try digging it up somewhere in this thread.

So here's what I found, I wrote Jerry (and Dave) one year, nine months, three weeks and one day ago, then shortly after posted this:

I've read this thread before, but seeing it again has made me decide to actually write several muppeteers just to express my appreciation.
At any rate; many people have asked to post a link to the page here at MC that lists those addresses, well here it is:
http://www.muppetcentral.com/help/faq/muppets.shtml#5

Soon after, the Disney deal had moved quicker then I think any of us anticipated and the next day, someone posted this:

"...All inquiries regarding Muppets... should now be directed to The Walt Disney Company."
Do you still think you can contact the muppets puppeteers at the New York Henson fan mail address?

Which sucked, because I had already sent both letters to the NYC offices. Sure enough, one month later, both envelopes came back stamped "attempt unknown". Now I was never confident enough to send Dave's letter to Disney (it just seemed like such a long shot, like my teeny letter would get swallowed up by such a huge company IMO), but I did find out this about two weeks later:

I found that I can send my mail to Jerry to:
Jerry Nelson
c/o Sesame Workshop
1 Lincoln Plaza, 2nd Floor
New York, NY 10023

So there you have it, the nearly 2 year adventure of a letter to Jerry. Truthfully, I would have waited ten years had I known it would eventually come as it was all totally worth it.

Hey that's great news Vic! Can you scan the pics and show us? Are they pics you've seen before? And if you see "The devilishly handsome and charming Vic Romano" as opposed to the regular Vic, can you send him my regards?
