I write for an online newspaper called the Spartan Edge, so I asked if I could somehow get an interview with him. The head of the Spartan Edge, Bonnie, managed to get me into what I thought would be a press conference, which was today. <br /> <br />As it turned out, the press conference was turned out to be individual interviews for each newspaper/station that came. When me and my friend, Alex, got there however, the people in charge said that they weren't sure they'd have time to get us in. <br /> <br />So we waited. After a while, the woman in charge came out and informed us that the Disney people didn't want Kermit to be in a videotaped interview that would be put online. I guess I should have expected this because of their copyright laws; they were afraid that someone would take the video from our website. So she gave us the email address to submit our questions instead. <br /> <br />HOWEVER, she did let us in the press conference room in order to take our pictures with Kermit. So I go up first, and I see this guy with long hair and a beard (kind of like Jim Henson, but different), with the Kermit puppet! It was so weird, becuause it was the Kermit puppet that only went down to the torso. <br /> <br />So I said hi, and he said hello back. He sounds like Kermit does, even when he's not in character. Then, as they're preparing to take the pictures, he puts on the puppet and goes into full Kermit mode. <br /> <br />Because I grew up watching the Muppets and still adore them to this day, I completely spazzed. I started smiling and laughing like crazy, managing to say, "It's so nice to meet you!" <br /> <br />"Oh, my, you're smiling," he says. "You have a beautiful smile." I kept on laughing. I was never so excited. After the picture was taken, I told him, "I'm going to e-mail you some questions for the Spartan Edge." "Oh good!" he replied. And then I let Alex take his picture (careful enough to make sure the man behind the frog was out of sight), said thank you to the woman and charge, and I left positively glowing. <br /> <br />I'm still jazzed. I thought hell would freeze over before I had the chance to meet a muppet! I saw him in the parade too (he was sitting in a car, so they used the puppet with feet). I don't know if I'll get the answers to my questions when I e-mail them, but the Spartan Edge will have the pictures of me and Alex with Kermit!</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
