I called the place on Saturday, and the lady on the phone said that Kermit's not visiting the place, but they've used him as part of the Frog set up that they have going on...

Oh well. My hopes were only up overnight, so it's okay. Thanks for the information.

No Live Kermit

I just got this e-mail:

Greg,

Thank you for your interest in Kermit the Frog. We will be hosting the
Kermit the Frog puppet from the Smithsonian. We were not been able to
make araingments for a live Kermit appearance. Kermit is on a 50th tour with the Disney folk. However we will have a display about Kermit and the historic puppet on display. I will send you our press release when we are ready to announce all the details.

If you're interested in seeing pictures of Smithsonian Kermit, I just posted some that I took in June of this year.

I know that the two close-ups are out of focus, but I thought it was worth including them anyway.

I saw him many years ago at the Smithsonian. Other neat stuff too, though they had just removed the Indiana Jones hat and whip from display, which disappointed me. When I'm not busy being AndyWan Kenobi, I'm IndyAndy Jones!
