  • Mid-Week Update: Stuff You Should Know

    With one foot already out the door, I needed to bring everyone up to date on a few things I forgot to mention in the last show.

    First, check out the official theatrical trailer for Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey! Keep up with the crew over at BeingElmo.com, and make sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter too.

    Next, you need to enter The Muppets Sweepstakes, presented by the Yamaha Entertainment Group. Click here to do that on Facebook. You simply Like their page, click the “Enter Now” link (it either says exactly that or something like that) and enter your info and you’re signed up. You could win a Yamaha grand piano AND free tickets to the November 12 premiere AND free airfare and hotel for your trip to see the movie. The folks at Yamaha are really happy to be able to present this, and I think it’s an awesome opportunity for Muppet fans.

    That’s about it. Have a good week, and I’ll see you soon!
