Very cool! I haven't talked to him in ages!

LOL, oh my gosh that was very hilarious improv at the end, man! Funny throughout in fact, great name for the little guy too. You sound like you can do a killer Scooter.

Thanks for the video!

Wade Alan, very cute video. I have to check everyone elses. Will do very soon.

I hope I am not too late in posting a video. I will try to get it up by the end of the weekend. reason for the halt...I need to buy a new laptop, my hard drive just went buh-bye.

I have a cute video of my whatnot, Johny Crooner, singing Summer Wind. I can't wait to put it up.

thanks for the info.. though it's kind of a bummer.. were hoping to let the girls pick their puppets out while they were here over thanksgiving so they could have them while they're here next summer.. guess they'll just have to wait on that.. but, it won't be too bad a wait i suppose... and they have some hand puppets we've gotten them for thanksgiving/christmas this year that they can start with.. see if this is something they'd enjoy more of... ah well..

Hey Jinx!

Do you think double-stick tape would work? That's what the Muppets used to use in the olden days.

I know it wasn't directed at me (and I don't have that much experience), it would probably work for a little bit. Whenever I moved a lot, the tape would fall off.

Oh no. You mean they've stopped taking orders again?

I knew I should have ordered mine two weeks ago or whenever it was I first went made mine up! *cries*

For those that have already got yours, how well is the hair attached? I'm wondering if it would be possible to remove it and add your own. Not your own hair, obviously - but hair of your design.

you can order the $130 booklet/order.. but the direct on-line option isn't available

The instrumentals are from the cd Piano Strings for Michael Buble, the voice was done by me.

Photos of the FAO Muppet Whatnot Workshop

Friends,

Just visited the FAO Muppet Whatnot Workshop and posted a bunch of photos so you could see firsthand what it's all about.

Much smaller space than I expected. A great experience nevertheless. Walked out with two whatnots for my kids.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Wow, thanks for putting up all the pictures. I especially like the display cases that have unfinished parts of the real Muppet characters in them. There's an unsculpted Gonzo head in there and also a set of Gonzo's eyes with the eyelid wire attached. If you've ever wanted to see how his eyelids work... it's right out there to look at. I also spotted a Janice head and a Waldorf head and a Bunsen head. Very cool stuff!
