It's finally here!!!! The Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry is now open! I highly recommend it, even if you don't really love puppets the way I do. Seeing Kermit and Bert and Ernie and all the other little puppets and drawings was SO COOL! They definitely did a great job designing the exhibit to be playful and interactive for kids too. It's here until January, so check it out!
We drove to Starved Rock State Park over Labor Day. It's in Ogelsby, IL, near Ottawa I think (?), around and hour and 45 minutes from Chicago. It was pretty crowded around the riverfront and the shorter trails, but people became more scarce as we hiked in deeper. They're supposed to be known for their waterfalls, although I guess those only happen after heavy rains, since everything was dry when we were there!
I collaborated on some dinosaur puppets, a few of which can be seen in the Loudmouth show written and performed by Michael Balzer, featured in Triple Header: Loudmouth, Sit On My Lapse & Black Ted Williams which is now going on at the IO theater in Chicago Thursday nights at 8pm.
