Wow



I'm surprised no one was intersted in this. It'll be interesting to see what the turn out is, espcially since some of the Henson family will reportably be in attendence.

I'm very interested, just nowhere near the necessary location.

Good time...

Hey you guys seemed interested, so i thought sinse i was there i'd mention the experience. First of all seeing Labyrinth on the big screen was even better than imagined. It was made for that screen. Iv'e seen that movie so many times and yet, because the screen was was SO gigantic i picked on so many little things i never saw before.

As a pre show they played a a handful of Jims original independant short films. It was my first time seeing a few of them. Heather Henson introduced Labyrinth, and Brian appeared afterword to accept a certicicate of honor that the film festival had given, declaring the day will offically be known from now on as "Jim Henon Day." I had another engagment to go to so i couldn't stay for DC screening. The theatre was only about half full at the Labyrinth screening. They had 50th aniversary cake afterwords, it was fun. I enjoyed myself very much and caught up with an old muppetfest pal which..... i seem to have misplaced his card.... email me buddy!

THE DUDE IS OUT
