A month-long series has begun.

There are lots of other events, but I thought this one might be particularly interesting.

Sunday, November 9

David Rudman in person!
Commercials & Experiments
Various dates, Jim Henson, USA, 90 min.
This program encompasses a mind-blowing collection of shorts, crazy commercials, and other rarities from the Henson vault. Highlights include: an industrial film for Wilson’s Meat that must be seen to be believed; excerpts from experimental TV programs The Cube and Youth 68; and “Time Piece,u201D an 8-minute masterpiece that showcases Henson’s talent for making music out of everyday sounds. Beta SP video and 35mm.— description courtesy of The Jim Henson Legacy

Emmy Award-nominated producer and puppeteer David Rudman, performer of Sesame Street Muppet roles including Baby Bear and Cookie Monster, will host the program.
Bring your Muppets memorabilia! David will be available for signing at a table in our gallery/cafe following the show, with Sesame Street Muppets Cookie Monster and Baby Bear in person.

Man, all the way in Chi town, eh? Too bad we never get something like this often.

Anyway, if anyone plans to go to this, if any questions are taken, someone needs to ask about Scooter and if David plans to continue the role permanently.
