Muppet Stuff also has an active YouTube page with vlogs on all sorts of Muppet events, unboxings, and merch hunts. On top of all that, Chris is also a community event organizer, helping organize The Muppets Take Mahoning Drive-In events as well as The Swa(m)p Meet at the Jim Henson birthday events at the Museum of the Moving Image. Overall, Chris has just been extremely active in this community for decades, subscribing to Muppet Zine, interacting on the Muppet Central and Palisades forums, making the graphics for Muppet Mindsets’ weekly Muppet Wednesdays, and so much more!
