Travis. Frank Oz was on set, puppeteering live. He had a very appreciative audience of cast and crew.

Is it that Sesame Workshop can afford to book him, and Henson can't because they are getting squeezed dry from the EMTV cuts ?

I'll work for them for scale---for a while.

Heck, last night, Muley delivered a speech for the Ronald McDonald House of Memphis, won a Volunteer award from them at the Volunteer Banquet, and afterwards someone came up and asked, "Which Muppet show was that on?"

I guess they just couldn't believe a guy could sew his own puppet, huh? I sew, cook, clean--waitaminnit.

I need a live-in girlfriend.

Congratulations to yourself and Muley on the award Kev - you da man !

You do need a live-in girlfriend, but you've gotta admit she's gonna get pretty bored watching you do all that sewing, cooking and cleaning.

Hmm...didn't think of that.

Waitaminnit! I meant SHE'D do that for ME.

Probably not, though. I'll just leave things like they are. Over-night guests are less trouble anyhow, and no commitment or responsibility.

Not that it matters. All I do is play with Muppets action figures, draw cartoons, or play with puppets. And, obviously, volunteer a LOT.

I have a full life, just don't know of what yet.

Luke. It is not a money issue. It is an availability and timing one. Frank has more outside professional commitments than any other performer at either Henson or Sesame.

To give a general example: Due to its regular schedule, Sesame has the ability to book Frank months in advance for two definite studio days. Muppet projects either require more than two days (eg VMX) or are much shorter notice than Sesame can give.

Secret Squirrel is my hero. And I don't know why. I ditto the thanks for your input around here.

Speaking of such input, and getting off topic (which we're famous for doing), what was the final news on Jerry Nelson? Is he better? I hope so.

All the JHC folks are important to all us MC folks!!! We might pick on 'em from time to time, but it's because we love them.
