MuppetFest 2?

[grail]

man...there's just so much...

first off, everything you said, though i'm not going to be picky...my wish is for any and all people that have ever performed a Muppet to be around.

Palisades needs a spiffy setup, as does Sideshow.

i would love to see a panel or two on "how to make a puppet" can't really give away ALL the Muppet secrets, but something for the beginner.

man...this would be easier if i coulda gone to the first one...

that's all i can think of offhand, i'm sure i'll come up with more later...

Oh Mylanta!!!

It's a couple months away? I didn't know they'd picked a date yet! Holy que pasa! (yes, I'm aware that doesn't make sense.... it's just sounds kewl. ;-) ) What's the official date? I'm really hoping to go to this one.

I thought it was June 2003. We're only in early August 2002 now. It's TEN months away ! LOL !

No chance of Fraggle Rock being featured in anything but a 'panel' unfortunately. All the puppets are in a REALLY bad state - dust coming out of them when you shake them, bits falling off everywhere. It just isn't going to happen, the Fraggles cost a heck of a lot to make and Henson have ruled out making new ones until they actually have some kind of money making project that would relaunch them full time. I know it really sucks because it's the anniversary and everything - you might get Sprocket, i never heard about his condition and i think it was mentioned they had the puppet there at the last Muppetfest though it wasn't shown.

I'd actually like to see you guys being shown some clips of the 'Hoobs' and being introduced to the puppets live on stage. I think thats a show developing well, that is REALLY being overlooked because of there being no USA distribution. If they have corporate suits there at the show there's not a better time to promote it. The music they are putting out is especially very 'Fraggle' in style.

Being able to be photographed with the Puppets IS probably an option. They made some poseable wire frame versions for the parody calendars and cards. This may be an opportunity to drag those out of storage.

you know, i can't decide how to take that news about the Fraggles. i'm either sad, or angry. one would think they would be able to store the things in such a way that they might be preserved for possible future use, because i would LOVE to see a Fraggle return. not to be crass, or anything...but with the exception of Cantus and Convincing John, pretty much all the original voices are still around. and a new show like that could REALLY help Henson right about now...get the adults that grew up on it AND their children to watch.

that being said, you're right about Hoobs, i would LOVE to see them. i havn't heard much, but what i've heard was good.

hmm...if you have a few episodes on tape, i'd love to swap

Luke, where did June come from?

I'll be there!

 

[grail]

of course you'll be there, you're practically there already...which is why...no offense...i must now be jealous of you.

it's either that, or because Joe's just so dreamy...
