Thanks and it was nice to say "Hi" to you. You had the red beard, right with the cab driver's cap? I saw you as we were going to our seats I think. What was the after party like?
Hi MelissaY1, sadly, due to my own ingorane to ask what you and everyone else looked like, I did not meet anyone. I am sorry I didn't. I would post a picture of me with John T, but I need to embed it. Please tell me more about how was meeting Jerry and the other members.
As far as the afterparty goes, it was a HUGE misrepresentation in a three page e-mail I wrote to 10 staff members last night. While I was stuck in a room with parents and kids making decorative cookies, all of you womderful fans got to meet your heroes. That's right, not one of them showed up. It was not until 5:20 or so I said" oh crap, get to the back of the stage door" and I was thrilled to meet Roscoe for 6 -7 minutes of talking and Kevin for 30 seconds as he was in a hurry. That almost made up for it. I asked Roscoe about what was the feeling when shooting "xmas eve on sesame street" and said Jon Stone was a "pure genius" and went on about the shooting.
I would love to post the letter here, but i think this may not be the right palce for it, but in a nutshell, i asked them to do what is right and refund me $85 out of the $125 I paid ( since I said the ticket alone of the fantastic show was worth not $20, but $40). To my surprise, they are refunding me back the whole $125 and they want me to keep the gift bag!
They stated in my e-mail "
We are all so sorry to learn of your disappointment that none of the artists attended the Family Party afterward. Although this may not alter your view, New York Pops Music Director Stephen Reineke did in fact attend.
We did invite many of the artists from Jim Henson’s Musical World to attend the post-concert Notables Family Party. Artists frequently attend post-concert Notables events and many of the artists from Saturday’s performances were confirmed as attending, so it was our belief that they would be at the party. Aside from Stephen Reineke, unfortunately none of the other artists decided to attend our event. It was certainly never our intention to mislead you, and we are very sorry that you felt let down.
I won't complain much because I did get to meet and take a picture with Frank Oz in Oct. ( a dream). But i won't stop until I meet Jerry and the rest of the original cast of SS ( Susan, Bob and Maria).
