Oh cool, they get Stuffed and Unstrung. I've been really curious about that. Usually I'm bothered by Muppets swearing and doing crass things, but when its the Henson company itself responsible for the production it is a little different. Like the sketches Jim did for the first season of SNL.
When the hell are we going to get a Ben Folds Five reunion tour? Hasn't Ben realized yet that none of us care about his crotchety adult contemporary bullshit?
Wasn't a tour, but there was that completely random playing of Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner (my favorite) a couple years ago. Damned if I didn't skip an exam to get those tickets right at 10AM only for them to get sold out in less than a second before I could get to 'em.
'Twas a bummer, indeed. But at the same time, I think I would've had to break some sort of really important commitment if I were to go to that show (can't remember what it was).
