And all in all, probably the most positive person I could even begin to think of. An all-around wholesome-in-a-good-way guy who somehow managed to bridge the gap between children and adults in a way that I haven't seen anyone even come close to since his passing. (Those parents who claim to enjoy Spongebob with their kids can just fuck right off). So cheers for Henson for being my stand-up guy of the moment. That is all.

KJB and I dashed through the Henson exhibit at MOMI yesterday, so we didn't have time to pose with our role models Statler & Waldorf.

I think some variation on that exhibit has been circling the country for decades. Saw it in Indianapolis as a kid and at the Museum of Science and Industry a few years back, loved it deeply both times.

I think it's a permanent installation, no? I remember reading about the opening and thinking there was no urgency to get my family there because it was sticking around.

it's a permanent installation afaik, not sure what the dates on the website apply to (reservations?)

also it's great

Iiiii guess that's true!
What a lot of space to take up permanently. I mean, it's the same space where they had the Scorsese exhibit last year, so they're kinda closing off options unless they're planning another renovation.

being a latch-key kid in a very rural NorCal area, Sesame Street gave me an idea of what living in a city must be like: hanging on the stoop, not everyone is white, Mr. Hooper's market, etc... beside the set itself, they would have little films shot in Central Park or on the streets of NYC. It definitely was my first vision of urban life besides like Adam 12 or something dark like that

In 1992, a friend of a friend, a writer for the Henson Company, gave us a tour of their NY townhouse offices and the Creature Shop a few blocks away.

The Townhouse was decorated throughout with much priceless art.

The Creature Shop that day was filled with racks of Muppets that had just arrived back from London filming "A Muppet Christmas Carol." We got to peek through drawers and drawers full of Muppet eyes, heads, arms, etc. for creating random Muppets for Sesame Street.
Outside, the only indication that this was the Creature Shop was this:
