Well I like everything I've read here except for the part where we would be calling ourselves the "Jim Henson Convention Exploratory committee." Not only does that make us seem pretentious but it's also kind of a mouthful. The last thing we want is to send something that makes us look like we're overconfident. Simple and direct is best.

How about something that doesn't make us sound like overweight, balding men in sweater vests, tweed suits, smoking curved pipes over a glass of warmed port?

Haha! No offense, because you're obviously on a roll here.

Man, I could really go for a sweater vest and a warmed port right now. That sounds cozy. :wink:

Well, we gotta call ourselves something. Whatcha got?

All of a sudden, all I can think of is Sam the Eagle writing his letter about vermin, whistling things and lumps playing the harmonica to "someone important." Why is that?

How about something simple like "Ocean Breeze Soap will Get You Clean" I'm kidding but I think we should pitch the idea first and then we can think of a name so for now I'd just call it "The Jim Henson Convention"

LoL
I know. It's easy for me to say "NO! WRONG!" And then have nothing to offer in exchange, isn't it? I'm thinking, don't get me wrong. I'm thinking.
All I know is that if you give ourselves a title it is going to make us seem self important. We can't afford that. It's got to be simple, not a hodge podge of important sounding or flashy words.
Heck, even if we just omit 'exploratory' and just shorten it to HensonCon Planning Committee or HensonCon Committee. I think that once they read the letter, it will be obvious that we are exploring the avenues that would make this possible. So it kind of goes without saying. HensonCon Committee!

I say we just get the letter written at this point. I say we all write one and post it here and then maybe vote on the best one?
