I am still grumpy about Joe Ranft's passing and now I understand that Jerry Juhl is gone too. http://www.jimhillmedia.com/article.php?id=1669 Ergh. Anybody who tried to go back to their childhood in the 1970s or 80s, and figure out why they have fond memories of Sesame Street and Muppet Show, even Fraggle Rock, must needs pause to appreciate how much work and soul Mr Juhl put into his job as writer for the muppets. I mean, really. Think about how much lame garbage is passed off as kids' entertainment and then think about some of the crazy wonderment that these Henson guys came up with, and gave to all of us kids back in the day. I tip my hat to Jerry Juhl and to Joe Ranft, who seemed to have a similar role as "soul" of Pixar, and scan the horizon for more talent with LOVE. Any suggestions???

I love Flickr lots... it is probably the only site I can spend hours at and not feel grouchy when I am done. My latest retinal scan is http://www.flickr.com/photos/froodmat/ and I think everybody will need to check it. So go already!! Then be aghast at how many directions you want to explore at the same time.

My friend Skunk is finally getting the media blitz he was entitled to at birth.

BEHOLD!! http://www.weeklydig.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/article.view/issueID/1b233d80-e3d5-498a-8f6f-02281237939b/articleID/f2b01be9-f5ce-4558-9053-85684c345d9f/nodeID/4b1339d1-be3a-44a2-be8b-1484963a003a is an article.

http://www.coolidge.org/s_mid_aug05.html#scul is a screening of the new SCUL movie, essential if you live in New England or anywhere west of the Dniester. It is screening only one day before Puppetmaster Jake-- the only puppeteer to study under François Rabelais, Conan the Barbarian and Charles Bukowski?! Yes it is true! Well worth sleeping in front of the Coolidge for a good seat. Pack a lunch!!

And, for you maggots out there, the SCUL site itself http://www.scul.org/index.htm abandon all internal combustion engines, ye who enter here!!
