A friend of mine just sent this to me. $5 for a movie in LA, plus you get to see a reunion of the cast and crew and the exhibit at the Academy. Its unheard of! What a deal. Too bad you can't get tickets until the 5th. Sounds like fun though.

[JoeyMuppet]

Looks like fun.

I wonder if Toby will be there, all grown up. Man, that would be a head trip.

Especially if David Bowie tried to carry him in his arms and sing "Dance Magic Dance." Talk about $5 well spent.

Although by the sounds of it, I imaging the "cast" reuninion is going to just be Muppeteers and extras. You'd think if Connelly or Bowie were attending, they'd specifically say so on that website.

[gfarkwort]

yea....I agree with you on the Connely and Bowie part.......But, Sheesh! I Really would like to go to this thing....especially since it's only $5.

[melissa@muppet]

that sounds awesome. i live in another country so however goes from muppet central plaease let us know what it was like and take photos if you can.

Bummer of the date! I'll be down in San Diego attending the Comic Con. It all starts at 7 p.m. I'd have to leave by 3 p.m. incase of traffic up the 5 North to Beverly Hills. No, I'm afraid I'll have to miss it despite it sounding like such an awesome event!

Henson really seems to be sticking to their base with the scheduling of all this geat stuff.

Comic-Con: 20-23 (at wich they had a MirrorMask pannel last year)
Labyrinth Reuion: July 20th
Late Night Buffet Taping: July 22

(oh and Clerks 2 comes out July 21)

That's alot of stuff going on @ the same time with the same fan base.

[ILuVERNIE]

When it comes to Henson, you never get bored!

That would be terrific to see. Shame the human stars are not anticipated to attend. I saw Bowie in concert a couple of years ago and the show was (speechless) although he did not do any Labyrinth songs.

Another Henson event just announced:
There is a Henson pannel scheduled for Friday July 212t @ Comic-Con in San Diego where they will be showing a preview of "Power of the Dark Cystal"!

So it looks like Clerks 2 just got bumpedfurther down my schedule.


Kimp the Shrimp:
The Kevin Smith and Henson fan bases are close in age proximity and if you ask one about the other most would say they like both.. maybe not equily but there is def. a crossover fan base.

[Fozzie Bear]

I'm a HUGE fan of Kevin Smith's work. We're going to go see the movie exactly after work is over on the 21st!

[Kimp the Shrimp]

i would love to go to Comic-con
