there's a cool puppet museum here in midtown atlanta - center for puppetry arts. they had a jim henson exhibit late last year. i took my niece and nephews. cool stuff!

I checked the Henson exhibit out at the Museum of the Moving Image last week, absolutely great.

and you WILL get choked up at some point, or you're not human.

3) I was in college when Henson died and I remember being really upset.

Thanks for those links, just terrific.

I watched the last few minutes of The Muppet Movie the other day - the Orson Welles cameo (he was apparently a huge Henson fan) through the finale and found myself choked up. The buzz on this new movie is strong.

I need to re-watch those movies, especially the second one, with Charles Grodin.
