Hi guys!
Just recently came across the MC Forum while trying to fulfill a lifelong dream. I basically grew up on Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock. While kids often outgrow the things they are into, the Muppets never left my side. I guess there is a timelessness about them that appeals to people of all ages. Anyhow, here I am at 33, and my love for all things Muppet is as strong (or stronger) today as it was back then.
Favorite Muppets: Animal (he's an old school favorite) and Pepe (my favorite of the newer Muppets)
Favorite Muppet movies: The Muppets Take Manhattan & Muppets From Space
Just saw "Stuffed and Unstrung" in San Francisco a couple of weeks back, and would highly recommend it for anyone who like Muppets with a bit of an edge to them.
Also went to the D23 expo to catch a glimpse (though a brief one) of Kermit and Piggy a couple of weeks back, which was a lot of fun.
Annnnnd, I couldn't be more excited for "The Muppets" movie coming out in November... which leads me to this dream that I speak of. I've had a lifelong dream of wanting to meet the Muppets (haven't we all!). I decided I would leave it to the power of social networking to see if there was a possibility of making that dream a reality (a la "My Date With Drew"). I didn't want to risk posting the FB page I created in the wrong forum, so maybe I'll just post it here instead. I'm hoping others might be able to help me spread the word. Most importantly, I'm trying to get some "like" power behind my page in hopes that this might actually happen. So here it is:

Would really appreciate any support that I could get, as I know it is a long shot. If any of the moderators would care to help spread the word, I would be eternally greatful.
Really looking forward to being a part of your awesome community, and I can't wait to meet you all (albeit virtually). Thanks for having me!
