Damn. I don't live aywhere near Arizona, Washington, Georgia, or Pennsylvania. But if you do (or will before 2009), you might consider checking out the Jim Henson's Fantastic World travelling road show when it hits town.

A production of The Jim Henson Legacy and the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, the exhibit will include "puppets, artwork, photographs, production documents, artifacts, props and videos."

Ah, but a closer look reveals that the cities listed above are just the first four of ten stops to be announced. So there's still hope! So keep your flippers crossed, folks...
