Happy Birthday, Jim Henson!
This weekend I was honored to be a part of a weekend long celebration of your creativity, humility, and genius.
We toured your favorite spots throughout Manhattan, including your memorial bench and model boat pond in Central Park, the former locals of the Creature Shop and Henson offices, and the Carriage House.
We were joined by your daughter Heather, and the many people keeping your legacy alive including banjo extraordinaire Lucas Ross and magician Rob Lake - who's finally getting The Muppets on Broadway.
There was Muppet karaoke, cosplay (that's people dressed-up as their favorite characters), Sing-a-long's...
A collectible "Swamp Meet" with vendors and artists selling and trading items.
Screening of fan-favorite clips celebrating the 70th anniversary of your work.
A costume contest.
And of course puppets!
And what would a birthday party be without cake!
It was a fantastic weekend that I'm sure everyone who attended won't soon forget.
Thank you for brining us all together,
