Fan Mail

[Muppetfreak]

Hey,

So I have never tried to write fan mail in my life but I am a huge dork and I want to tell a bunch of the Muppet people how much their work has meant to me, even if they never look at it, I just kinda want to get it out there.

I need the skinny on how this scene works. Do they ever actually see/answer mail? Do you get a form letter back?

Moi needs facts.

"Is there any way to stop it!"

[Muppetfreak]

Oh, sorry I'm a failure. This question is in the FAQ. OK, then how about we share tales of fanmail to the Muppetpeeps?

[Sir Didymus]

I would definately write to them if I were you! They ALWAYS, I repeat ALWAYS write back to me! I just send them a nice letter and ask for a photo of a muppet. My whole room is filled with glossy photo's of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Pepe, Fraggles, etc. So I would definately wirite!

Jake

[Muppetfreak]

OK, then I shall. I just figured they may be swamped and things would get lost in the shuffle.....

Who has everyone heard from?

Jake

What do you write?

Do you have to send a SAE??????

[Sir Didymus]

Beau,
I just say:

Dear JHC,
My name is ________
I am writing because I really enjoy the Muppets. I was wondering if I could have an autographed photo of_______.

That's basically it. Go ahead and try it. It always works for me!


Jake

[Beauregard]

OK. I'll give it a try.

My name is ______

I am writing because I so like the muppets. I was wondering if you could send me an autographed picture of Beauregard!!!

Thanks,
Beauregard

Thanks Sir Didi (whatever) I'll have a go.
Maybe I'll get a descent picture for my avator!

[Sir Didymus]

Beau,
Sometimes they don't have a picture of a certain character. One time I asked them for a pic of Johnny Fiamma, and they said they don't have any, so beware of that!

Jake

[EmmyMik]

I've written a few fan letters (to the Muppeteers, and just asking for pictures of Muppets). Last year I wrote asking for a picture of Scooter and I got one (and it's a pretty nifty picture too!)...

[Muppetfreak]

Don't make fun of me but do they have picture to autograph of themselves? I am interested in the people themselves...

[EmmyMik]

I'm not sure if they have any. I just know that I got pictures of the characters autographed (by both the performer and the character. However, I have my doubts about the characters. I mean Gonzo can't even pick up a phone on his own, so how can he pick up a pen and write so well? Hmmmmm)... :)

A lot of times we get so into being a fan when we talk about a character we think of the performer. But the fact remains, unlike Disney or Looney Tunes or whatever you can *actually* meet the Muppets. I know Kevin Clash has brought Elmo with him to several meet and greet things. I myself got to meet the real Sweetums. When I say 'real' there is the real Sweetums(John Henson) and then there is a cheap Sweetums suit with some teen in it at MV3D.

But back to the question...I have seen autographs where it is just the Muppet's autograph(this effect is usually done with a performer's left hand, as in the Johnny and Sal autographs) I have a Pepe autograph signed by Bill Baretta and Pepe.

[Warrick]

Its not usually done in left hand.

Its just Sal is a Monkey, And to figure out what a Monkey would write like Brian used his left hand.

How would you get such nice signatures like Piggies, Fozzies, Gonzos, Kermits and Animals with a left hand ?


See ya

[Drtooth]

A few things..

Do they REALLY give you a picture... now? I want to know if they have Janice, Scooter, or Dr. Teeth.

Secondly.. do they charge you?

Thirdly, are the Muppeteers trained to sign autographs like the character (i.e Animal's would be splatterry, or Piggy's would be flowerey?) I'm working on signing autographs like some of my characters (Mighty for example, signs very fun). Or do they sign it of whatever performer plays that character.

Personally, I'd LOVE to meet a Muppet in person. I'd probably be shy, like I was when I saw Joespeh Barbara, Rob Paulsen, and Maurice LaMarche in person (the latter two I have actually met. The former was such a giant in the cartoon industry.. I was so scared. I'd think he'd've sicked Hong Kong Phooey or Captain Caveman on me..)

[EmmyMik]

Yeah, you do get a picture. It depends on who they have. Last year I wrote asking for a picture of Scooter, and I got one (now it's proudly hanging on my wall).

I don't *think* so. Like I said, I wrote a letter, and they sent me a picture.

I have no idea. I just asked for a picture and they sent it (no autograph). However, I did write to Dave Goelz ( ;) ), and I got back a picture of Gonzo signed by Dave and Gozno (Gonzo is signed as "The Great Gonzo" and ther are lots of stars and spirals. It's cool!). So I don't really have a clue.

You've actually met Rob Paulsen and Moe LaMarche? How awesome! I've never had the chance to meet them (I've just written goofy little fan letters to them), but wow. That would be awesome!

Good point! Maybe that was just Sal's...as my Pepe's autograpoh looks pretty spiffy!

Yes, I have a Black and White autographed Picture of Brian Henson. I write to them constantly, and have quite a collection of photo's! My favorite is Miss Piggy! It says: Kissy Kissy to Jake Love, Miss Piggy. Go ahead and write away everyone! I just got one of The electric Mayhem a few weeks ago. I don't want you guys to think I'm bragging, so write to them yourselves! Or you can e-mail them at: Fanmail@henson.com.

Well, I technically met them. Back when there WAS a Warner Brothers Store, they were at the Predential Centerr in Boston. There was a big advertisement in the paper that said "Meet Pinky and the Brain." I did not know they were actually there! I heard Pinky and Brain's voices, but I thought it was a clip on the Television! But Rob and Mo were there. They basically were signing autographs and doing voices. I stood in line for lord only knows, I got their auto grpahs on a little post card. I was going to ask them questions and I froze! However, one guy had the Variety Pak CD to sign, and Rob started to break out into Song, Variety Speak, to be exact. Rob even did Yakko's voice for my sister. And I had AL these questions to ask too.

Mom lost the (*&^* postcard!!!

My Cousin used to have an autograph of Rob, his grandma gave it to him. It was signed on a Ninja Turtles picture.

BTW, if you E-mail them, will they give you a picture?

[EmmyMik]

A few years back I wrote (by "snail mail") to both Rob and Moe from the addresses I found at Voice Chasers (http://www.voicechasers.org/index1.html).

A few years back I met Nancy Cartwright (she's from Dayton, and she came back to Dayton to do a book signing for her book). I must have waited HOURS (but I enjoyed it all), and I finally got a chance to meet her. All night she had done her voices from the Simpsons, but when I got my chance to meet her I asked her to do Mindy from Animaniacs. She did, and I was the happiest little geek...

As of a year ago, they didn't have any Janice. :( :mad:

I wrote Henson in regards to Mokey and Janice, and I got a nice glossy of the fraggle five, but they said they didn't have any pictures of Janice---c'mon, ya gotta at least have one EM pic somewhere!

[Drtooth]

I just E-mailed them.. doubt they'll answer it though!

Emmy- You got to meet the Voice of BART SIMPSON!!! Cool! I remember that at the Coolidge Corner theater in Brookline Mass, Harry Shearer was there to discuss his new movie, and to present This Is Spinal tap. unfortunatewly, I had a class I could not skip that night, and I missed him! Drat!

I have alwasy wanted to meet Jim Cummings, however!

It was an amazing experience! I must have waited like 3 or 4 hours, but it was worth it.

She actually came to town over the summer, but I had to work, so I couldn't go.

[Fozzie Bear]

I think in the MC website there are addresses to write to the performers for fan mail. There's also a fanmail@henson.com email address to write to, as well. I don't know if emails get answered or not.

When you write off for pictures, it's good to enclose a postage paid 9x11"envelope, too.

And they appreciate legible hand written letters. Much more personal than typed computer generated stuff.

Later,
FOZ

[Beauregard]

They told me yesterday or the day before that they have NO Janice or Beauregard. They are, they say, out of stock.

I have now asked for the Chef or who was it. I have forgotton, somone I liked. Oh dear.

Well, I havn't got a reply yet, but I know you can get these by writing to fanmail@henson.com with your mailing address and request.

Beauregard

[Fozzie Bear]

I asked for an autographed photo of The Swedish Chef, but to no avail. None are available.

FOZ

[Muppetfreak]

I have alwasy wanted to meet Jim Cummings, however! [/B]

I have spoken to Jim Cummings. I used to run a huge fan site of his. It has since fallen to rack and ruin but I will put it back up when I have time. I am a HUGE!!!!!!! fan of his.

Voice over actors I could talk about all day.

I would love to meet Rob Paulson like non other!

Hillary

[electricmayhem]

Where can we find the addresses? and EmmyMik, you said you wrote to David Goelz specifically? Are there different addresses for different people? I wrote to the Jim Henson Co. about 5 years ago for a school project and got some cool pictures back but I have no idea where I put the address. I'm so excited to write again though! :D

[EmmyMik]

I've actually written to Dave Goelz a couple of times. Each time I used the Fan Mail address (found somewhere 'round these parts). I addressed it as:

Dave Goelz
c/o The Jim Henson Company Fan Mail
blah, blah, blah

(the "blah"s were the address that I can't remember)...

[electricmayhem]

Awesome:) Thank you!

[EmmyMik]

Just to update things a bit (somewhat)...

A few weeks ago I wrote to the JHC fan mail address asking for pictures (I can't remember of which characters though). This weekend (I have no idea which day I got mail. My family is horrible at giving me my mail when I have to work) I got pictures of the Fraggles (it's a nifty black and white picture) and Bunsen and Beaker. And now I need to find some wall space for these pictures...

[Beauregard]

Hey, I havn't got any pictures yet!!! I have written though.

[Sir Didymus]

It takes a while Bo. Maybee around 3-4 weeks????? I never really count, but it is around that.

*falls over dead* well if it was Tress Rob and Jess i WOULD have died! Ecspecially tress, she sang with weird al, my third obsession. i am so jealous.......ooh

[sarah_yzma]

man you people have met awesome people, the only person i've met was the guy who invented Peanut Butter Slices, and the guy that made that foam rubber junk at the bottom of playgrounds at Mcdonalds....wow isn't that exciting...I do have Dick Van Dyke's autograph, and Shannon Miller, my brother met her...
My mother also has Ray Romano's autograph


in 7 grade we wrote fan letters for a grade. I think that is an awesome idea. my teacher had three notebooks full of autographs. it was pretty neat...i was going to write to Eric Stuart cause he does a lot of cartoon voices, but i never did....i should try to get a pepe autograph for my best friend for her birthday, she would just die! do they have pepe pictures??? it would be cool if bill baretta signed it too.....does anyone know if they have one?

Sarah

[ryhoyarbie]

sweetness! henson writes back and gives you pictures of the muppets.....i'm going to have to try that!

ryan

[Muppetfreak]

Do they mail you autographs if you send in email? (Considers doing fanmail while at work.....)

;-) Hill

[Sir Didymus]

MuppetFreak,
Yes, You can write to them with e-mail. Fanmail@henson.com.

You get your pictures quicker if you do! Be sure to give them your address, I have forgotten many times!

Jake

[Muppetfreak]

Sweet! If it is a slow news day, that is so what I am doing!

Hill

[Muppetfreak]

OK, New question:

What does a girl have to do if she wants to contact Karen Prell?

Hill

PS: I sent letters to Frank, Dave, and Steve today... I really hope they send me pics back! I would be so HAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPYYYYYY!!!

you don't do anything more personal???

on the address what do u put in the subject? the person???

[Sir Didymus]

Well, you could add more. I always say stuff like "I am really excited about the new muppet figures". I just gave a short stupid example. You can say whatever you want! Well, except for "I think The Muppets are really dumb!" For the address just put: The Jim Henson Company. I do this all the time and they pretty much always repond. Good Luck!

Jake

[sarah_yzma]

ok i think i might get up the nerve!

[sarah_yzma]

ok I DID IT! after i started the words just flowed! i basically said I love them all and I just want a picture of anyone of them to hang in my room (though i did say Pepe would be awesome HINT HINT)

haha

Sarah

[Beauregard]

Poor Henson is suddenly going to find that it has completly run out of money if every thousand members of this board write asking for pics!!!

[Muppetfreak]

Didn't they already run out of money? ;-)

Besides, if they are anything like Sesame Workshop, an intern probably writes them out anyway....

[Beauregard]

I was joking. OK!!!

[Movies205]

I sent a letter to Brian henson, I'll have to wait and see if I get a response...

[sarah_yzma]

*screams* i just got my picture! it was of Pepe! and sooo awesome! they sent me an apology for not having the chance to get Bill Baretta's autograph. that is REALLY nice of them! they connecy to the fans

of course it was probably a form letter, but they made the effort:D

Sarah

it can't hurt to try! or maybe if you had a friend in the states...

Sarah

[Super Scooter]

I got Frank Oz's autograph a while ago. Also Robin Williams. And a hand-written letter from Carroll Spinney. For some reason, the autographs (although, this DOES NOT APPLY to Carroll Spinney. He hand-wrote it!) unless you meet the puppeteer in person (or actor) it doesn't seem as special. Oh, well.

When you write for autographs, address it (whether by snail mail or e-mail) to the Puppeteer. If you're desperate, write the Muppet.

I also recieved photos (not autographed) of Johnny and Sal, one of Bobo, one of Benjamina Gunn, and a group photo from Muppets Tonight. That was pretty cool.

[electricmayhem]

I just sent some letters out last monday so I'll be waiting (probably not very patiently) for the responses!

[sarah_yzma]

i sent mine through e-mail and i don't think it has even been a week and a half!!! i was SOOO happy when mom told me i got something from new york in the mail, i tried to act surprised, but the picture is so awesome, I couldn't help but let a squeal!

Sarah

[electricmayhem]

That's cool :) Maybe I will switch to e-mail if the results come so much quicker! Did you write to someone individually or just to the JHC in general when you emailed?

[Janice & Mokey's Man]

I just wish I could hear back from Kathy... :( I wrote her in November of 2001, but have yet to hear anything back (same goes for Jackie, who wrote Steve the exact same month---as we found out later---we didn't even know each other back then! Lol!)...

But now with her overseas, I RULLY doubt the first thing on her mind is, "Oh yeah, I need to write that 'Byron' guy back... :) "...

*holds out hope*

I wonder iffin' I should email that "Fanmail" addy Jake posted here and ask 'em the best way to get in touch with Kathy?

:confused:

[sarah_yzma]

no i made it really general it was something like love the projects that came out within the last year this is the great year the muppets have had in a while(etc...etc...) then I asked if i could have an signed picture of pepe. i then said it would be neat if Bill Baretta signed it too...


i think that's about all....i might send off for a piggy one next!!!

Sarah

[Super Scooter]

Mail does get lost. Try writing her again. Maybe she'll respond.

Did you write via e-mail? I've never done that. Think I will. I would love to get an autographed photo of Scooter...

Oh, yeah.

:(

ooh that would be neat to have, too...decisions decisions....

[foofoocakes]

Wouldn't it be neat if we could have a real time chat with a few of the muppet proformers. Sort of an internet muppet fest? It would be great to be able to ask questions. I bet they have great stories.

[sarah_yzma]

hmmm...yes!!! that would be awesome...the only hard thing would be fighting emmy for Bill's attention......

we'll just have to tie him to a chair, won't we????:D he'll talk!!!! of course we could just hold him hostage, and let him live off muffins....hmm not a bad idea....FREE ENTERTAINMENT!!!

Sarah

[Super Scooter]

Well, Karen Prell is a Member of the Muppet Central Forum, so, who knows!

Also, there's one named "Tweedle Bug" (or something like that). I looked in his/her profile and it says "old muppeteer". Who is this?

I was thinking maybe (that's a big maybe) it was Dave Goelz, because he's always on here, but, I don't know.

Any idea?

[electricmayhem]

Dave Goelz is always on here?? COOL!!!:D

[Sir Didymus]

Super Scooter,
Twiddle bug Isn't Dave Goelz. Dave's birthday is July 16. The profile for Twiddle bug says December 31. Could be Jerry Nelson?!

Jake

[EmmyMik]

I don't think so.

Jerry's birthday is July 10, if I'm correct...

[Beauregard]

I have a feeling about that Secret Squriel too. Any one agree. Tweedle Bug, must look at his profile later.

[Super Scooter]

Originally posted by electricmayhem

Well, that's what I heard he said at Muppetfest. It was so he knew where he was supposed to be. :D Not necessarily in the forum, but on the website.

How do you look at a specific members profile if they haven't been on in a while? I know I can look at all of yours, because you're usually on, but how would I look at his/hers again? I saw it once while he/she was on.

And, it might not even be a regular performer. Maybe a one-timer or background performer. But that's still pretty cool. I'm sure if I ever did background performing on with the Muppets, I'd call myself an old Muppeteer too!:D

Hey, Tweedle Bug, who are you? You're not Karen Prell!

Maybe it's... her! The other her! I don't remember her name! Her! Not her, her! The other her from the Muppet Show! HER! Who's her??? Grrrrrrrrrrr!




Again, I say:

Lost?






Have you tried Harry Krishna?

[ryhoyarbie]

wow, the performers stop by every so often to see that people on here have to say...aren't you all glad your a member here..i know i am....

[Luke]

LOL ! No wonder the company doesn't have any money nowdays ! :rolleyes:

Seriously, i've bothered to read this thread back and it kinda worries me how impersonal you're all making this sound. The Henson Company isn't some free picture service - they are doing it out of appreciation for their fans. Obviously you can do what you like, but i'm sure the guys would appreciate your mail more if you addressed it to the individual perfomers and said something relavant to them. Snail Mail and handwritten letters are always going to be more welcomed than generic emails and will i'm sure get better results. It's a privledge to be able to contact the performers, not a right so it's always good to write to the muppeteers for your favorite characters first.

Oh and Frank Oz autograph collectors beware - 9 times out of 10 through the mail, the autographs he sends are pre-prints and not personally signed. He's busy a lot - usually if you have a signed picture of him in a leather bomber jacket it's not real, but there have been exceptions.

[Sir Didymus]

I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Do you have a problem with us writing to Henson?

Jake

[Luke]

Nope, what i'm saying is it's FAN MAIL - not a free picture service. You're supposed to be writing to these people because you're a fan and appreciate their work. It's always good to say something specific to the character or performer, and writing a nice letter will always get treated better than a quick email which are considered impersonal. The performers are more likely to read letters sent in and keep them filed so adding a personal touch will probably get you better results. I work in TV myself and know performers will always go the extra mile if it's obvious someone has put a lot of thought into writing - which probably explains why Scooter for example got a hand written letter from Carol Spinney !

[Sir Didymus]

Your right Luke. Sorry If I sounded rude, I didn't quite get what you were saying, but I understand now. Fan Mail is a better Idea, But I never really sent a letter to a Muppeteer personally. I always ask for something. I feel really bad know. I think I'll go hide in my cave.

Indeed, it would be cool. If there was ever a *new*(ahem) JHC fan site that would definately be a possibility;) It was really neat being able to chat with Jerry, and other performers who were working on(or actually just wrapped up work) MFS in the fall of 1998 on MC's chat. Also, Gonzo in 2000 I think(or 2001?) had this live webcast chat with fans...itd be neat if they did more things like that.

I understand the fascination with trying to figure out who on MC or elsewhere is connected with JHC in some fashion. While sadly for various reasons non freelance Muppeteers and JHC personal cant post on here(one thing, theyd get bombarded with "OMG I CANT BELIEVE ITS YOU OMG!!!" unrestrained fans either posting in a thread or baraging em with emails...very un tact. )
However, even with MC forum's less than stellar online activity status, you folks would be surprised who has popped in to say hi or lurk;)

Luke is absolutely right. I really hope it doesnt get to a point where people are just arbitralily emailing JHC for autographs. Show youre appreciation by writing a short yet heartfelt SNAIL MAIL(you know, those fandangled things you put into a mail box...maybe even use a Big Bird stamp, LOL) Sending an email just shows apathy. I mean what did people do before the convienence of the internet? If JHC gets baraged by people just hording em for auto's, they might discontinue that luxury.

So what did we learn here folks? If youre going to request an autograph, make sure its in a snail letter hand written SASE letter, make sure its for your fave performer(dont go asking for everyones auto)...and for the love of muffins please dont try to pull back the theatre curtain on 'mysterious' posters. You just might scare em away, and then MC would really be in the dark.

...as it is, we need a 10,000 gigawatt halogen flood light to see around here^_^

Besides, they're cooler when they're all mysterious and cryptic.

I mean they can say things like, "Some of the merchandise won't be flammable" and that would be cool and awe-inspiring. While if I were to say it or make it up (which I did), it just sounds stupid.

:D

[Beauregard]

You mayh have made it up, but dosn't it sound so true?

Some of the Merchandise, cut that dow a bit the Merchandise which bit of it could they have been talking about? Some, they could mean anything, though not the polystine I shouldn't think. May be flamable. It could posably catch on fire.

Just think if they had sia, (Or Emmy had said) The Ploystone busts may catch on fire. It wouldn't be the same a t all would it?

[Super Scooter]

Maybe it's... her! The other her! I don't remember her name! Her! Not her, her! The other her from the Muppet Show! HER! Who's her??? Grrrrrrrrrrr!

I remember! I remember who I thought it was!!!!!!! Kathy Mullen! You know, the british left-handed one! (if you've ever read Of Muppets And Men... she was cute!)

Maybe it's her!

I never thought of it like that. I wouldn't say I put ALOT of thought into it, but I did express my love of puppetry. (My letter was more of a business letter, but I did get that across) Hmm. I guess I did put alot of thought into it.

Of course, Foz and I could prove you wrong! Snoopy put a lot of thought into his letter, and he recieved a form letter! :D

Heheheheheheheehhehehe!

You think it's Kathy Mullen?

Well obviously Snoopy was really busy in meetings that day ! :rolleyes:

I guess people writing to animated characters without voices have kinda gotta expect a pretty muted reply ! ;-)

[Beauregard]

Do you mean Louisa Gold, Scooter?

I got a signitured picture by the Sweedish Chef today.

The Fanmail, sent it to me with a letter saying that I should't ask as many questians of them, as they wouldn't have any time for Productions and other Projects, but so as not to feel so down in the dumps, they sent me a Sweedish Chef signitured pic of the Muppet Gang.

I felt like $.50, to quote Pops the Doorman, after what Luke had said just before.

[Super Scooter]

:o Oh! Yeah! Louisa Gold! Sorry, Louisa! Hehe!

What about Kathy Mullen? Who is she?

(fity cents, huh? Hehe! You looser!:D

"Tsk! You're a pathetic looser! Haha! No offense."
- Loyd, Dumb and Dumber

Actually, after Luke said that, I felt the same way. That's how I got Robin Williams autograph.)

*besides, Pops felt like two cents. Just wanted to drag you down a little lower!*

[Luke]

It's Louise Gold- not Louisa ! LOL !

..... and don't go feeling bad about what i said, all i meant was if you make them feel special when you write they'll make you feel special when they write back. That was it !

[Super Scooter]

Whatever!!! Is it her????????????????????

You're something else, Luke!

:D

[Muppetfreak]

OK so I got an autographed picture from Frank Oz and was very very happy and danced around the house with glee.

HOWEVER, I had also emailed requests in for Dave Golez and Steve Whitmire the same day and did not get anything.

Is there a one per person limit or is Frank Oz's camp just faster? I used different email addresses on each one! :-(

[Luke]

You emailed Henson for a Frank Oz autograph and recieved it quickly ? Are you sure it's real and not a pre-print ? Maybe he signs a lot of them at the same time and Henson just keep them on file, but from what i was aware most of the time his through the mail stuff is fake or pre-printed. He hardly does anything with JHC at all nowdays.

[Muppetfreak]

Oh I know. I worked at Sesame once upon a time ago. They have a stack of pre-autographed pictures and then an intern writes the character's name and signs your name if you ask for it. This is fine by me, I just wanted something that Frank Oz had thouched and it is a real autograph. I just want to know why the other two never came and if i should be patient (so hard!) or write again.

[Super Scooter]

You're in New Jersey? Frank Oz lives in New York state. (same as me!!! Just can't seem to find the name of his town on any map.)

That might be why you got his so fast. I get mine in a few months, and it was personalized. You can tell he personalized it personally because it's the same hand-writing. Just wish he hadn't sent me that form letter.

The other two might have gotten lost in the mail. I never heard back from Dave Goelz either.

You used to work at Seame Street? Cool.

[EmmyMik]

First off, I'd say, just chill out a moment. I have written to Dave a couple of times, and each time it took a couple of months. I got *real* responses, so I'm guessing (note, *guessing* I have no clue really) that he might actually read the mail. This might take awhile...

(but what do I know)

[Super Scooter]

Dave seems nice. I don't doubt for a moment that he doesn't read the mail. Just we didn't get a response. Probably got lost in the mail (his or ours).

[EmmyMik]

Originally posted by Super Scooter

Well if it's been more than a year or so, I'd say probably. But these things do take time, and you need some patience (on both times I wrote to Dave it took 3 to 3 1/2 months from the time I sent the letter off to the time I got a response)...

I doubt very much the Muppeteers read the email at all. If you snail mail it and address it to them personally i'd think they keep that and read it occasionally though.

[Super Scooter]

Good point.

Should we print out the card and send it to him? Should we send it to him via e-mail? What?

[Super Scooter]

Ooooooops! Hehe! Wrong thread!

[Super Scooter]

It was Twiddlebug. Not Tweedle bug. Okay, who was born on December 31, 1969? Which Muppeteer?

[sarah_yzma]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is this a quiz.............i didn't stuuuuuuuuuuuuudy

[Super Scooter]

Sort of. I'm trying to figure out which Muppeteer Twiddlebug (username) is. Go check out his/her bio.

[trekkie1701E]

I once wrote a letter to SS asking for a signed photo, only to recieve a cast picture w/the words "To (My name)." God, was I devestated!
A couple weeks ago, I mailed a two page letter to Carroll Spinney (One of my all-time favorites). Hopefully, he'll reply within the next few months...

[Super Scooter]

Not Dave Goelz. The person was born in 1969 which sort of rules out anything TMS. Maybe Kevin Clash, but I doubt it. Oh, well. I'm not even that worried about it anymore. Just sorta wanted to know.

I *believe* Kevin was 10 when Sesame Street came out. So I don't think it's Kevin...

[Super Scooter]

Ah! Okay. Hey, that makes him the same age as my Dad. Er, I'm sorry, Kevin.:D

Scoot

[Barry Lee]

I asked them if they can sell a puppet and they said no way!:(
from
BARRYLEE

[Super Scooter]

Yeah, they don't like selling puppets. I understand that. Alot of copyright junk involved. They like to keep 'em around so they have them when they try making new ones. Soooooo, how exactly did they say it? They didn't really say, "no way" did they?

:D
Scoot

[Beauregard]

Leke, they would be soooooo expencive.

I'd love to have two Chicken puppets though.

[Super Scooter]

I wanted Scooter, but you're better off just trying to make your own Muppet character. They seel lots of feathers in craft stores, Beau!

(Hey, Beau, you looking forward to November when you can start driving?)

[Beauregard]

1. I really don't think I could ever do somthing like that. I just don't have the nack, not that I hev ever tried.

2. I don't know what you were trying to say about driving, but whtever it was I didn't get it and dodn't mention it again. (You can e0mail me if you want and I'll tell you why.)

[electricmayhem]

I got a really cool group shot a few days ago!! I like it alot:)

This thread has gotten really weird. From a live muppetier chat to creating your own chickens. How bizzare! I love it!

[Muppetfreak]

I still have no reply from anyone but Frankie poo. (I think Miss P would call him that, don't you?)

Sigh, how long did it take everyone else to hear from Dave and Steve?

and the whole driver's license thing lost me....

I wrote to Steve in August of 2001. I have yet to hear from him (but there's still hope! I think...).

I've written to Dave a couple of times. Both times it took about 2 to 3 and a half months for me to get a reply.

So just be patient...

**still patiently waiting to hear from Bill, even though it's been a year since I wrote to him**

[MuppetFan123]

Hello All

I was wondering if anyone has had any success in the past few months with either Kevin Clash or Carroll Spinney ? I sent my request with a SASE around the end of October. Whats the average turn around time for them and what have you received back ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael

[muppet_dk]

For about a month ago I sent a letter asking for as many signatures as possible. I got the letter today.

But for some reason there wasent any signatures with it. :cry: So i guess that i must be more specific the next time.

The did however answer a suggestion that I made about a seasoned box set with the original 1st season opening.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR "BOXED SET" SUGGESTION. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY EVALUATING.

I think that it sounds so great that they are thinking about realeesing a box set. :excited:

HIYA MICHAEL!!

Sometimes it can take several months to get anything back, and other times it's a few weeks. Just depends on how available that person is at the time the letter arrives at the company. If it's mid-season and nobody's filming, they may have to wait for the performers to come back, or they wait til they get enough letters on hand to ship them all to the performer's home.

Kevin Clash sent me a cool autographed photo of himself and Elmo "To Kevin from Kevin Clash and Elmo." I ended up getting an autographed photo of Big Bird signed to me with "Spinney" written REALLY small on the edge of the photo.

FOZ

[Super Scooter]

Ha ha! That sounds about right.

I wrote Carroll Spinney, and he responded. He sent me a nice hand written letter, and an autographed (it was Big Bird's and Oscar's autograph. But he signed the letter) post card from the 25th anniversary of Sesame Street. It's pretty neat!

Speaking of which, any of you POA members out there, did you notice that in the directory there's three times that Carroll Spinney's name is mentioned? And each and every time his name is mentioned, Carroll is spelt differently? I'm pretty sure they're all him, there's only so many Carroll Spinney's around, and the majority of them are female. And, once, his name was even mentioned alongside his characters from Sesame Street, so I know they're all him. :grouchy:

Wait, is that the letter you were waiting for when you e-mailed me?

Er, no, Beauregard. That was a different letter. But, thanks for reminding me! I gotta check my old e-mail!

Originally posted by trekkie1701E

Well, he was on an extended trip to... I think he said Europe, so it took several months before he even saw it! But, normally, I'd say it takes a month or two.

[sarah_yzma]

hmm i've thought of writing bill and dave...but i'm really lazy.....and that isn't going to get me anywhere!

Sarah

well my little bro wrote dave...i'll just have to see how long it takes!

[Skeeter Muppet]

I finally got up my courage and wrote Brian Henson about a month ago. I got a letter last Friday from his secretary (I'm assuming) saying he was too busy to respond to the questions I asked. At least I know the letter got read, because I mentioned my website (thinking he might want to look at it), and the letter-writer said he wished me luck on it.

[teebs]

Has anyone written to Jerry Nelson?

[MuppetFan123]

I personally didnt write him yet, but one of the autograph sites I go to, had the following info about Jerry Nelson:

Sent: 3/20/2003, Rcvd: 4/14/2003
Tester's comment: "Jerry sent a picture of The Count singed to me. Thanks! You can count on the Count!"

Hope this helps ya out

Michael

[Fozzie Bear]

Jerry Nelson is such a groovy guy!!

I wrote him once and he sent me a self-portrait photograph he took of himself in a mirror (there was a Floyd plate someone had made for him I suppose) and sent me the nicest letter. His grocery list was on the back of the letter!! That was TOO COOL!!

I love Mr. Nelson, as much as everyone else out there at JHC!! He's the hippest and grooviest of the performers because, if you think about it, he has an amazing range of vocals, for talking and singing, and I've always been awestruck by his performance.

FOZ

I totally agree. Jerry is my favorite by far.

[Fozzie Bear]

What is SO cool is that every one of the Muppet performers are so meek and humble that they will thank you for being a big fan of theirs for whatever purpose, but they will tell you, as has been told to me, "It's a joint effort, without the team there is no me."

I have different reasons for loving them all and being a fan of the performers as much as the characters.

At MuppetFest they all seemed genuinely surprised that we all were that excited to meet them all.

[MuppetFan123]

Received another Muppet Success today !!

Just received back my 3 photos I sent to Frank Oz.

The photos were inscribed and signed with each characters name.


Michael

[Fozzie Bear]

What were the 3 photos of?

[MuppetFan123]

I sent him a photo of Bert and Sam the Eagle and a picture of Miss Piggy that I took at Christmas time from the Macy's window display. Its a picture of her on the stage.

I even got a letter back from him that the paint pen I sent him for the Miss Piggy photo was faulty :o

Never again will I buy my pens at Staples :D

Michael

[Fozzie Bear]

Mucho Coolio!!!

[MuppetFan123]

Here's a question for ya all....

What is the usual turn around in response to a fan letter/autograph request from either Steve Whitmire or Kevin Clash ?

Reason I ask is that I wrote both two months earlier than I wrote Dave Goelz and have yet to receive a response ? Should I wait another month or so and re-write em again ?

I'm just curious if anyone had any success with these two and what the ususal turnaround time is.

I will be making a Yahoo groups site this weekend where I will display my autographs and photos from Macy's and Caroll Spinney book signing. I will keep you all updated as to when it's available for viewing.

Michael

[Muppetfreak]

Dave is even more now my personal hero then before!!!!! Not only did he write back, he actually responded to my letter in a handwritten note and wrote me a sweet personal message on my autographed Gonzo picture......

Love love love Dave right now.....:excited:

[Muppetfreak]

I have a dream....its a quiet little dream, of having a hallway in my house with framed autographed pictures of all the major muppets down the hallway....

Perhaps I will extend the dream to have Sesame on one side, Muppets on the other, Fraggles at the end.....

It will be glorious...

I have already been chastized for being entirely too old to have all the Muppet movie posters on my wall so we will modify as such....if you frame them, suddenly they are camp and stylish....

at least this is what I tell myself.......

[Fozzie Bear]

MuppetFan123, give it some time. Autographed photos can take up to 6 months to be returned. Did you include a self-addressed, stamped envelope? Those get quicker responses normally.

[MuppetFan123]

Got two more successes yesterday...........

Wrote Sesame Workshop on behalf of my nephew for autographed photos of Elmo and Grover and got back 2 color signed photos...One of Elmo and one of Grover along with a very cute letter from each :)

Stange thing was...Grovers photo was way larger and less glossy than Elmos.Elmo's was an 8x10 on Kodak glossy paper..Grover's photo musta been about 12x14 (I may be stretching it alittle, but it wasnt an 8x10 and was way bigger :crazy: )

The turnaround time was little under a week.This is probably due to the fact they are located in NYC as well as I am. I also sent a letter to them in regards to merchandise and got a response back in regards where I can find specific items.

Thanks Again Grover, Elmo and Sesame Workshop you made my nephews day.

I have requests out to Kermit The Frog,Miss Piggy, Scooter, Beaker, Jerry Nelson, Sonia Manzano and Brian Henson. When I hear back for someone, I'll be sure to update.

P.S. --- Before anyone says anything..I know the photos are signed by the interns from reading various posts here and on other sites, but to a 2 1/2 yr old, its the real deal :)

Take Care

You're wrong.

Grover and Elmo DID sign that stuff. You act like they don't care enough about their audience and have their secretaries do these things, or like they're puppets.

[MuppetFan123]

I was just saying what Muppetfreak originally posted here on page 6.

I'd love a photo of the muppets, are they really autographed by the performers? it doesnt matter that much its nice they are sending photos to people, I would love to get one so much.

:) :p

[MuppetFan123]

FYI.....

Did you know that a few years ago people were using an address for Frank OZ and were getting phone calls from Henson and Oz's secretary about the address.The problem with the address that they were using was that Frank stopped using it 3 years earlier.

Just figured I'd pass this bit of info on

Michael

[Beauregard]

I have an autographed photo, autoed by the Swedish Chef. It looks like the autograph was printed with the picture, but I don't care. It is good having one to show your friends!!!

[electricmayhem]

If one is writing to Caroll Spinney, should one also send one's letter to Sesame Workshop?


:D

[Fozzie Bear]

Yes, JHC already corrected me on that. All SS productions contact should be sent to SW. I've provided the address above.

FOZ

[Ernie101]

Where can you get the adress to write to? I once wrote to Jk rowling and it was a fake person even though I supposedly got a autographed photo back.

[electricmayhem]

For all the Jim Henson Co. addresses, go to the questions part of MC, they list them there.

[VC2020]

On your Autographed pics was it made out to you? Mine was it says "Hi to Varun! from Kermit the Frog and the rest of the Muppets"

[Ernie101]

Sweet....Will they answer direct questions?

[doctort13]

Last week I received my autographed copy of Caroll's new book!

Why am I so happy? His book tour came nowhere near Cincinnati, and I was bummed. However Jeni (the web master of Caroll's official fan page) told me that I could buy a copy to help support the Children's Discovery Musuem in San Jose, CA.

So, I donated my first copy of the book to the Cincinnati Public Library, helped support a children's museum, and now have a personal autograph from my Muppeteer hero that reads:

Terry! I Love Trash! Oscar and Caroll Spinney

It's a three way win if you ask me!:grouchy:

[MuppetFan123]

Received yet another success today in the mail.

The mailman brought me back my SASE and inside was a photo of Floyd autographed from him and Jerry Nelson. Also enclosed were the index cards I sent which were signed by Crazy Harry,Robin,The Count,Floyd and Pops. Each is its own signature with its own style.

Thank you Mr. Nelson for the autographs. You are the grooviest dude :sing:

Michael

[Fozzie Bear]

I sent copies of photos of myself with some Muppet folks to JHC recently that I hope will get signed and returned to me. I want to create a special display of all my pictures.

[MuppetFan123]

Here is some information that some may find useful if they sent requests out and have not heard anything yet.

From my successes, I can tell you how long each took from the time I wrote them and mailed my requests to the time I received them back. This is the time frame it took for my autogrpahs to arrive and may not be the time frame for when someone else receives theirs, but I figured I just give folks an idea on the time frame.

All requests were sent from New York City to either the Sesame Workshop address or The Henson PO Box in NYC.

My Successes:

Jerry Nelson - 15 days.
Frank Oz - 7 days
Dave Goelz - approx. 7 months
Kermit the Frog - 4 days
Elmo & Grover - 7 days
Big Bird & Elmo - 3 days

I have requests out to:

Steve Whitmire (via email to Henson as well as postal mail)
Caroll Spinney (used address from Caroll Spinney Fan page)
David Rudman (Sesame Workshop address)
Kevin Clash (Kaufman Astoria Studios & Sesame Workshop)
Sonia Manzano (Sesame Workshop)
Brian Henson (Henson Corporate Offices)
Miss Piggy (Henson Hollywood Address)
Beaker (Henson Hollywood Address)
Sweedish Chef (Henson Hollywood Address)

If anyone has had success with any of the above or have a better/working address, please let me know. Also thanks to all who have posted their success stories here as it good to hear them and helps those who are new to this thread.

Take Care

Michael

[Fozzie Bear]

It's been a few weeks, but I sent a photo of myself with Charlie Rivkin to him to get signed, and it was returned with a very friendly letter from his Personal Asst. I had sent him a copy of the photo for himself to keep.

But, like an idiot, I didn't put ANY of my own contact info on the back of the photo. So, keep in mind, boys and girls, to always put your contact info on the stuff you send them hoping theyll keep.

FOZ

[MuppetFan123]

I sent a letter to Brian henson, I'll have to wait and see if I get a response...


Today the mail mail was generous and brought me another Henson success...This time it was from Mr. Brian Henson himself. I got an 8x10 B&W inscribed photo as well as 2 5x7 photos of Sal the Monkey and Bobo the Bear. I also got a letter with information on how to apply for a Henson Internship.

Thanks Brian for the photos and letter.

Turnaround time was about 24 days.

This is gonna be my 50th post here, so it's a little longer than usual

Its been slow in regards to successes for awhile, but today the United States Postal Service delivered to me a Muppet Success as well another Sesame Street success.

Today I received back two requests. One from Miss Piggy and the other from Sonia Manzano (Maria from Sesame Street).

I got a cool looking color group photo shot of the Muppets which now includes :rolleyes: and :attitude: .It was signed in blue ink and reads: Kissy Kissy to Michael.... :mad:

I received a color ISP , 2 personalized index cards and a personalized letter from Sonia Manzano.She even apologized to me in the letter she sent for taking so long to get back to me.


I included a SASE for each request sent out.Both requests came back in the different enveloped.The Henson Company for Miss Piggy and Sesame Workshop from Sonia.Sonia returned back to me my original SASE as she used the Sesame Workshop one and included extra postage.Turnaround time was around 2 months.

Address used for :mad: was the Henson Hollywood address.

Address used for Sonia was the Sesame Workshop address.

Thanks Miss Piggy , Henson Company, Sonia/Maria and Sesame Workshop


I still have request out to the following:

Steve Whitmire (via email to Henson as well as postal mail)
Caroll Spinney (used address from Caroll Spinney Fan page)
David Rudman (Sesame Workshop address)
Kevin Clash (Kaufman Astoria Studios & Sesame Workshop)

Sweedish Chef (Henson Hollywood Address)

Anyone receive any successes recently ? I'd love to hear your successes.

Till next success

Michael

[Muppetsdownunder]

Hi Michael, you lucky guy! I wish I had some autographs or even some pictures from the henson company would be good.

Maybe I should try some, I dont know if they would send a reply to Australia though, its worth a try though.

Where can I obtain the addresses to do this?

Is it unable to be done through email?

thanks, from Paul :)

You can buy a cupon at your post office that JHC can use for postage. That what I did when I sent my first letter. The only problem was that I did not make my self understandable of what I wantet so the response I got was not the one I had expectet.
I'am going to try again, I've got 4 drafts that I'am working on in these days.

[frogtownhollow]

I did a portrair of Caroll, Big Bird, and Oscar a few years ago, and not only did he send me an autographed photo signed by himself and Big Bird, he drew an 8x10 picture for me of himself, Big Bird and Oscar!!! He even drew watercolor cartoons on the envelope for me!!!!!!! And, to top it all off, I asked for one of Big Bird's feathers...AND HE SENT ME TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Spinney is indeed a very special guy!!!!!! :grouchy:

[sarah_yzma]

I wonder if afterwards, the feathers stick to his clothes and stuff.....hmm a good question.....

I try to write fan letters, but every rough draft I make seems weird (because when I write most anything, I write deep and meaningful (except here!) and it sounds funny) maybe someday I'll whip out something that is good enough

Has anyone here ever gotten a personal letter when they wrote?

LOL thank you Sarah. Keep reminding me. I keep meaning to write to my hero Dave G. but I never manage to actually get around to it. I must, I must, I must, I must....

[rexcrk]

Hi guys, I was skimming through this thread (page, after page, after page... :p ) and I've got a question. So if I send an e-mail to the Henson company and I ask for a photo of a character or something, they send it in the mail? Also, what's the e-mail address? (Oh yeah, I'll also say good things about them and how much I appreciate them, etc. ;) :) )

[Fozzie Bear]

I usually write to fanmail@henson.com whenever I have a quick question about the company or characters that I can't get a definite answer from any other source, ie: Sal Manilla. There was a question about the spelling of "Manilla," so I wrote. I also wrote them for an official statement regarding the Kermit/Piggy love saga, and for more information about Mahna-Mahna.

If you want your letters and request to be taken more seriously, though, especially to performers and asking for autographed photos, it's best to send along a hand written letter and self-addressed stamped envelopes. It gives it that personal touch, especially since you're 'looking for' the 'personal touch' in the autographs!! This is what I would suggest over e-mailing them requesting such items.

[rexcrk]

Has anyone had any success (like, getting a photo or anything) in sending an e-mail instead of a regular letter. I'm asking only because my handwriting isn't quite the best and I'm a much better typer.

You could compromise and mail a typed letter:)

I'm a bit discouraged because I wrote letters to a few of the Muppeters way back in January and I never got responses from any of them. :(

y'see, that's kinda the part I'm worried about. Like, what if it doesn't get there, or will it take really long to get a response, etc.

[Fozzie Bear]

Can I ask a question?

Why worry about it? Just write or don't write--sitting back and asking questions won't get you anything. If you have a request, drop a SASE in an envelope with a letter and mail it to them.

You're just procrastinating, and procrastination is what kept me from being able to talk to, or request from, Charles Schulz!

DON'T WAIT! WRITE TODAY!!! NOW!!

:rolleyes:

[teebs]

...procrastination is what kept me from being able to talk to, or request from, Charles Schulz!



You're absolutely right...same with me and Buddy Hackett :cry:

It's an incredibly sad thought, but the performers aren't getting any younger. So write before it's too late.

That is a sad thought :sympathy: , I hope nothing bad ever happens to anyone involved with the muppets. Thats something I have thought about alot so I had better get writing jsut incase, I missed out on Jim Hensons autograph :sympathy: and actually meeting him so I had better hurry.

Hey All...

I've had some free time on my hands this week and scanned 3/4 of my autograph successes and posted them to my Yahoo Group for you all to see. You can access them via:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Muppet_Mania/

and then going to the photo gallery and then the autograph gallery.

I also have my photos from the 2003 Macys Parade,The Macy's Muppet Windows,Caroll Spinney NY Book Signing and some classic Sesame Street screen captures in the photo gallerys.

Feel free to contribute to the galleries and discussions !!

Michael

[guysmiley4ever]

Wow, all this fan mail talk has inspired me! I feel moved to start writing and hope I should receive a photo of a fave muppet!
*sniff* that would be swell! :cool:
Does anyone know where to write, like the address.
I thought I saw the addresses somewhere, but can't find them now.
Also, can we get photos of Sesame street characters too? :)
Thanx!

[guysmiley4ever]

excellent! I want to write to Dave Goelz, isn't he Zoot? :cool:

I been trying to read thru the posts, my puter goes a big slow cause I'm always playing the Muppet Radio :)

Anyhoo, I can't believe it, now I can't think of the fella that does all my other fave voices...Bean bunny, Rizzo, Robin?
D'oh! Who is that? thanks all!!

[muppet_dk]

Dave does perform Zoot. Bean Bunny & Rizzo are performed by Steve Whitmire. And Robin is performed by Jerry Nelson.

[teebs]

Well, Jerry Nelson made me a very happy girl on Saturday. He sent me two more autographed pictures. :)

One was a color picture of the Electric Mayhem and was signed by Floyd and Jerry. The other was a color picture of Robin and was signed by Robin and Jerry.

Thanks Jerry! You're too cool!

[dwmckim]

I had asked this about a month ago but it was kind of a tacked-on question to an unrelated post, so since there's an active "fan mail" discussion thread going, i'll try again here...

...This is a question for any Henson insiders or anyone who has regular contact with the LA offices...

I had sent Henson Co a congratulatory gift package to congratulate them on getting the company back in their ownership and to thank them for all the work they've done over the years - there were several creative little gifts from chocolates to lilypad candles and a card directed to the "Henson family/company/team". I didn't include any kind of SASE or contact info inside (though of course the box had my return address) since i wasn't wanting/expecting anything in return - just wanted to send along some appreciation from a fan perspective to this wonderful group of people at an exciting time (i tried to time it to where it would arrive on August 1st though i suspect it probably ended up getting there the Monday after that weekend).

I'm just wondering if it was eventually received by anyone since i never got any kind of response - like i say, i wasn't expecting/anticipating any but still a lot of thought/care/love went into it and it would be reassuring to hear from anyone who might know that it was received by someone - whether it be members of the Henson family or any of the executives or even passed around to puppeteers, puppet builders, prop designers, marketing people - ANYONE that would be considered a part of the "team" that makes Muppety/Henson Co entertainment possible...as opposed to some receptionist or intern who just kept all the goodies for him/herself.

[Phillip Chapman]

DW,

I was told they did get quite a few letters and congratulatory packages such as yours, so that is a good sign. They were shared with "higher ups" in the company. I'm sure they likely received your package and got a big kick out of it as well.

[MuppetFan123]

Hello Teebs

I may have some information that can help you....

According to StarArchive.....People have had success with him the following address:

155 E. 76th St.
New York, NY 10021

Also, you may want to try him via the play he is currently in, Chekhov's Rifle:

547 Greenwich Street
New York, NY 10013

Hope this helps

Hey Michael!

:excited: Thanks so much for the info! Actually, it's kind of ironic...I just sent a letter to the Greenwich Street Theater this morning. But I'll definitely try the other address as well. Thanks again! :)

I wrote them in early October! I hope I get a reply! That would be toooo awesome! :halo: :D :)

Yay my mom says I got a reply from Jerry Nelson!!! I can't wait to see it! That will have to be over Thanksgiving, because campus mail is totally unreliable, so I sent it to Memphis instead of here. But I can't wait! :) :sing:

[guysmiley4ever]

*sniff* I sent Dave Goelz a letter and never heard back, sigh.
I s'pose I'm not very good at letter writing, no one ever writes me back. :cry:

[Phillip Chapman]

It often takes time to hear back from the performers. Dave is a good guy and very responsive to fan mail. If he did indeed receive it, you will likely get a reply at some point.

[guysmiley4ever]

:concern: i know it. he seems pretty cool. :cool:
Probably it would be best to write to some of the others while i'm waiting...

i've been meaning to write to Frank Oz. golly, i don't know what to say.
:sleep: i want to spare him a 12 page letter, so i'm trying to merge my thoughts down to something simple.

ah, it be holiday time again. they'd be quite busy now for sure. :sing:

...I sent Dave Goelz a letter and never heard back...

It took 4 months for Dave to reply to me...patience is key :)

[BlueAM]

I'm planning to write to Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson, but so far I've made drawings for them. Frank's is nifty, since it has one-shot characters he performed during the classic years of SS. The characters are:

The fireman from "People in your Neighborhood"
The green man from "J Friends"
The little girl from the premeire episode
King Peter's Royal Cook (from "The King Banishes the Letter P")
The Cat (with the Fiddle)
Same Sound Brown (Northern Calloway voiced him, but I think he was puppeteered by Frank, since he moves kinda like Prince Charming and various others)
One of the Zizzy Zoomers
The Tortoise
One of the cowboys from "My Favorite Letter"
Princess Penelope (from "The King Banishes the Letter P")
Humpty Dumpty (from NewsFlash!)

Jerry's drawing is basically the same. Here's who's in it:

The Genie
Fat Blue
The orange man from "J Friends"
The green guy from "Fat Cat Sat Hat" (I thought it would be funny to have him holding a sign saying "Beware of Green Pointy-Headed Men!")
The Beautiful Princess (NewsFlash!)
Farley
One of the Zizzy Zoomers
The Hare
Frazzle

By the way, do you know where I can write to Frank? Thank you for your help!

BlueAM

[teebs]

...By the way, do you know where I can write to Frank?


I got a response by writing to him at the Henson fanmail address:

c/o The Jim Henson Company Fan Mail
P.O. Box 20726
New York, NY 10023


The drawings are a really cool idea. Let us know when you get replies.

-teebs

[sarah_yzma]

Dave is very good about replies, he replied to my brother in a very quick manner, much to my brother's delight! I've asked and recieved Pepe's autograph, but for some reason I'm nervous about writing to a performer (of course, I'd snail mail it)

[Muppetfreak]

I just wrote a massive note (not that massive, it still fit on the notecard) to Jerry. I wrote it the day after the Lost Works of Jim Henson thing which was on my brithday and right near where I work, but sold out when I tried to get the tickets days before. I think it ended up being kinda guilt trippy.... O dear....

I also wrote to Carol and Eric....

So far only Dave and Frank have replied...

I cannot write to Kevin. Since i see him all the time at work, that is just too weird and I cannot ask him for it at work because that is waaaaaay unprofessional. I will just mail it someday and hope he doesn't actually know my name.... ;-)

Incidentally I met Sesame Street's Bob the other day. He is the most precious man ever!! At least, nicer than Maria who gave me a dirty look when I smiled at her on the way into the bathroom....

[sarah_yzma]

or make up a last name, and send it through a P.O. box...or go by a nickname.....

Well, I'm sure you could probably use the "Performer c/o The Jim Henson Company" method to send her written correspondence...that doesn't seem like it would be a bad idea. Of course, if you want to e-mail her, her direct e-mail address is on her website (www.karenprell.com) (prellfraggle@yahoo.com), although I have written her numerous times, and I'm having trouble getting responses back (although It'll be worth it when I do get a response, I bet - judging by a few of the responses that others have gotten, she's very thorough). This thread is surprising, in that, with all of the performer signatures requested (and photos, etc.), Karen has not been mentioned to any major extent - which I am surprised about. I hope I could be of some assistance.

Here's hoping the wait isn't a 7-month one!

Are you a performer? What do you do at SS, apart from smile at people when they are in life and death situations?

[Fozzie Bear]

Life and death situ...Beau! What kind of food are you EATING?? I've never had to go to the potty that bad!

Well, once. I live near the train tracks and already had to go, but was on the other side of the tracks from my apartment when the train was going through...and it STOPPED!

Back to reality; what d'you do there at SS?

[Beauregard]

I already asked that Fozzie. She ignored me.

[Fozzie Bear]

Oh.

In that case, I'm going to the bathroom.

Sorry. I have these crazy ideas about wanting to keep my job. ;-)

As a matter of fact, if you feel pressured, go to the restroom.

(See how this is becoming a running gag!?) :o

BlueAM

[Fozzie Bear]

Just send it to the JHC Studios in LA/Hollywood; check your MC FAQ's for the address. I'm sure it will get where it needs to go.

You guys have me all so excited :) To get something from them would very much help ease the hurt and depression I've been feeling lately. Only, I'm afraid you will scorn me, but while I am a Muppet fan, I don't know specifics on the people behind the muppets, nor specific addresses in which to send them to.

I would love to get Miss Piggy or Gonzo autographs. Can anyone help?

[muppet_dk]

I would love to get Miss Piggy or Gonzo autographs. Can anyone help?
Then you should write to Dave Goelz (Gonzo), Frank Oz or Eric Jacobson (Piggy)

You can find the address in the FAQ or somewhere in this thread

Hi Everyone -

I wrote to Kevin Clash last September and never heard anything. I didn't ask for a picture of Elmo at that time (I guess I should have) and I'm not sure I sent to a good address. I have one now in New York at the Sesame Street Workshop.

Anyhow, I digress........how long did you all wait before you got your pictures? My Elmo collection definitely needs an autographed picture.

Thanks.

[Whatever]

It can take 6 months...

Possibly we may never hear from the Muppeteers now that Disney owns the Muppets. :sympathy:

I got an autographed photo of Brian Henson and a group shot of the Muppets in the mail yesterday. :excited:

Since I'd like to try writing to the Anything Muppets, I just want to ask you guys a question and see what you suggest:

How can I address them? Should I use "AMS", "The AMs", "Anything Muppets", or "The Anything Muppets"?

After all, I believe I can write to them using the Sesame Workshop address.

Thanks for your help, and have a good night!
