Happy Birthday Jim Henson.

Today would have been Jim Henson's 70th birthday.

So in honor of that, tell me your favorite moment of Muppets or Henson's work in general.

I am grateful that I got to meet Jim Henson

My favorite Muppet's memory is Animal and the Leo Sayer episode. "He ate my sheet music. " "Last week, he ate the drummer."

My favorite Henson memory is at Worldcon in Chicago many moons ago; Larry Propp was interviewing Henson on stage when in the back came someone costumed as Beaker. Everybody applauded and Henson said it was nice to see Beaker getting the respect he deserved.

It seems like only yesterday.

Were you in Baltimore when Jim was there for the WorldCon? I think it was Baltimore. They had an exhibit from Dark Crystal and I got to see Jim's jaw hit the floor when I asked him a question.
