Any fan of my weekly blog feature ‘Hey Genius’ knows that I love puppets. Who doesn’t??

I love them so much I am hoping for 1 decent hour of rain this weekend so that I can head over to EMP for an exhibit opening tomorrow that explores the wonder and genius of Jim Henson. Big Bird, Grover, Animal, The Count… some of your most beloved characters, you know the ones who taught you to spell, sing, love your neighbor even if they live in a trash can or have green fur, will be on display in drawing or actual form. I want to squeeze a muppet, and I will try, which means I might spend all weekend in the slammer. But it would be worth it!

More info about all things puppets can be found here.
