Wow, I am also sooo jealous; it seems all the cool things happen in London, LOL! I'm glad all the stories about how personable the muppeteers are are true!
Melissa, how exactly do you know Steve, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi,
I first came into contact with Steve back in 1992 I believe it was on the old Prodigy internet service on their puppetry bulletin boards they had back then. That's also how I first started corresponding with the late great Jerry Juhl and Craig Shemin. I eventually met Steve for the first time when he invited me to the set of Muppet Treasure Island in 1995 since I was going to be in London anyway as part of my graduation gift from high school. I've since seen him a couple of times: once during my Henson college internship in 1999, and in 2002 when he was here in NYC for the unveiling of the Macy's Christmas windows performing Kermit.

Does anyone have an address for Steve? If you do could you please PM me?

I'm afraid I'm based oop north in Newcastle, no Muppeteers would dare venture up here

Not quite Newcastle, but not far away. Some of you may be interested to know that Louise Gold made her musical theatre debut in Sunderland in the autumn of 1974, in a production of Hair.....

It's great to hear that you had such a great experience Warrick! And got to meet up with MC members! One day, when I am coming London direction, we should meet up.

There really should be a UK Muppet Fan meet up, even if just an informal social event I'm sure it would be great fun.
