Today marks 20 years since MuppetFest, a two-day Muppet fan convention began. Looking back at it 20 years later, what are your fondest memories of the event?

What a fantastic time that was! Seeing the Muppet performers in person; watching them perform their iconic characters on stage; hearing them ad-lib hilarious answers to fans' questions in character; and wrapping up the whole thing with a 2-hour live show on the final night -- the whole thing was a blast! It was also great meeting a lot of Muppet fans in person, many of whom I'm still friends with today.

I wrote this insanely long 3-part wrap-up of the event at the time for MC:

I wasn't there, but I do have memories of putting in some serious effort to make a second one happen I think 10 years ago? Such a cool thing that I wish could happen again.
