okay apparently everyone likes muppets who've survived genocidal ethnic purges, so I'm revisiting The Dark Crystal. This was a huge movie to me as a kid because everything in that was obviously made, which means someone had to make them, which means maybe that could be me. And then *gestures to entire childhood* happened.

@Leucrotta once I went with a friend to a retrospective exhibit on the muppets and Henson's life and saw the lute played during one of these scenes and it was so detailed and beautiful. If I hadn't wound up in Alaska my backup plan was auditioning at the Muppets. Also I wish Henson's adult nightclub idea had panned out.

@eredien I can see you doing that! I still have no idea how you wound up in AK/what you're doing there now. I could find stuff about a more PG rated muppet company under Brian Henson, but not the nightclub, tell me more please (or point me towards links, please?).
