Today would have been Jim Henson's 85th birthday.
Anyone who knows me knows this is a holiday as far as I'm concerned. ;)
I remember vividly when this episode of "Great Performances" first aired on our local PBS channel in 1994. I videotaped it. And I watched it over and over again.
I still have the tape, and even converted it to a DVD a few years ago.
And I recently was given the "official" VHS release by by friend Rick. I didn't even know it was actually released! Nice little piece for the collection for sure.
I couldn't get enough of this show though. Along with the other Muppet and puppet videos I had I watched it over and over. Studying it. Trying to learn from it.
And between this and the book "Jim Henson: The Works" that came out the year before I think I learned more about being creative, and being a good person, than I learned about puppetry.
1993 and 1994 were pretty dark times for me. Even though I was smiling through so much of it.
Thank you Jim.
Not just for what you had done for the art I love so much, and not just for being an inspiration to generations of puppeteers and film makers.
But thank you Jim for bringing me joy and leading a path to being a good person.

Yesterday they published a very awesome (and accurate!) review of
"Josh And Todd: The Story of A Man And His Puppet"
Ten years after it's release, and 12 years after we shot it we are still amazed to see how this little low-fi movie keeps getting love! Thank you Film Threat, and everyone who has supported and shared this flick!

Our buddy, the real life Dr. Mike turned 70 this week...
We love this man a ton. He has been a great friend and for me an inspiration and I'm lucky to have met him waaaay back when I worked at good ol' Borders.
Elmwood even turned him into a puppet.
"The Doctor" is Dr. Mike. And I'm proud to play the part.
Mike as Eugene and I have had a blast playing these guys in these shorts and they will even turn up in "Bernice, Too"!
Do you have a question for The Doctor and Eugene?
At the bottom of the post is all the info on how to get your question answered!

Support the MDA mda.org In 1994 local television station WFSB was still airing the annual MDA Labor Day Telethon. Late that summer they sent a small crew to my parents home to do a piece on my brother, Michael, who had passed away just after the 1993 telethon. This is a transfer of that piece from a VHS tape provided to my family after it aired. I don't own it, or the music. Just want to share this small piece of my family history.
Thank you.
I'm very grateful to have this video. My awesome aunt Sharon gave me a copy that she had recorded and saved when it aired in 1994, and the local CBS affiliate WFSB also gave us a master copy. I still have both.
I schedule a lot of these posts in advance. And it hit me...
What if something happened to me? Like I died, or was seriously hurt.
And then posts on this site are still coming. I kinda smile thinking about that. It's morbid for sure.
But it's also funny.
Some people who come here might not even know I was dead or sick or whatever, and others would wonder what the Hell is happening. Heh...
Anyway... Play nice out there. Too many assholes around, don't be one.
Coming 2021?
