The RHLC!

I'll upload the podcast tomorrow, okay guys?

You'll get a new podcast most Tuesdays and Thursdays, I figure.

Sounds great; I've never heard of a video podcast! What will be on it?
Wow, I'm probably the only one here besides Herald who lives near the museum, and I've only been there once! Shame, shame! Loved the story about Grover, and Skye is right. You do have a lovely way of describing things!
Sarah, I don't mean to be a pain; I'm just curious. You've described quite well what Tina looks like. Now I'm curious to know, what is her character like? Who is she? Thanks.

Brian, Beth, and officially Ed, welcome!

Yeah, I always wondered about that too. It's that Grover is always so determined to get a point across and teach something to the audience (Such as what "over, under and through" means!), so he tries to be very careful and exact. I think it's the same reason why he wears himself out after every segment, he's just trying so hard!

Frank also said that while some of his other Sesame Street characters were thought out well in advance (Cookie Monster likes cookies, Bert is boring etc), Grover was an "organic" character that just developed on his own.

Btw, Sara, what does the video podcast idea entail? I'm not up on these things.

That really is true. I think that Grover is the most rounded of all of Frank's Sesame Street characters and he is constantly developing even to this day with Eric performing him now.

I've heard all sorts of excellent things about the Museum of TV and Radio...guess I'll have to find an excuse to drop in there eventually.

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Ah, who needs an excuse!

 

[The Count]

Thanks for the official welcome Kate.

BTW: For those of you Hunting *wink* the two Muppet specials...
Muppets and 60 Minutes and Of Muppets And Men.
KermiClown has both in his video library...
Justin Faulknor has Of Muppets And Men, got my VCD copy from him.

You can try contacting either or both of them and see if they can help you get those specials.

About Tina.

Her full name is Tina Grosse. (The kids laugh, thinking it's "gross" not "grosse" A little in-joke of mine that makes me giggle.) She's 8 years old, and she is a little shy about singing. When she does sing however, this great big booming alto saprono voice comes out! (that's the range I sing in.)

The kids think it's halarious, and they'll egg her on to sing. Then they are (usually) enraptured when Tina sings. She also has good rapport with the children teachers. I work with Ms. Cindy, the other children's teachers don't seem to know how to play off of the puppet. They don't talk to her, rather they want to talk to me.

I do work behind a puppet stage, hence my not really able to configure exactly how to get Tina level with the camera, without me getting in the shot.

And some news, someone destroyed the puppet stage! ...Good riddance. It was only 3 ft. wide x 6ft. tall x 4ft. deep. The preacher (our new one) finally understands a little bit more about puppets then:

"Oh Jim Henson did something like that didn't he?"

Man could repair computers, but couldn't figure why I would like to use a clip mic during the performances.

Eh, nothing really against him. Preacher Bill (new preacher) said he would make sure I have axcess to a clip mic whenever I do Tina. At least until I'm able to purchase one for myself. I'm either thinking a clip mic, or a wireless muppeter-style mic.

I'm sure you'll know which one to get.

Attention all RHLC members!

In case for some odd reason you would like to know, I am about to run a controled test. Even though it is almost lunch time, right now on the table in front of me, I have two chocolate doughnuts, (because they are miniature), and a glass of orange juice. *in Ernie voice* Can you guess what I'm about to do with these doughnuts and this glass of orange juice?
*wink* Let the games begin!

*takes a bite of doughnut* Good, as can be extected, (although I'm not a huge fan of the choc kind).
*immediately takes a sip of OJ) Not bad; the chocolate masks some of the acidity.
*takes plain sip of OJ* Trust me on the last comment!Alright, end of current sillyness. Much more stuff to say later! In the meantime,
*keeps enjoying breakfast/brunch.*

I love the fact that you have all gone out (or sent parents) for Choc doughnuts and oj!! Grandmother said it started with twinkies, then moved to devil dogs and moved his way up to Entemman's choc covered doughnuts!!! I still can't stomache the thought of it!

I don't know if I have any other questions to answer???????

I will pass along your thoughts and prayers to Grandmother, I'm sure she will appreciate them all! (Richard can't do it all on his own!)

Tina is beautiful, is she your first puppet Sarah? Do you work in the field?

Talk to you all soon! I'll try to get a story this week!
