5 Reasons You Should Come See Brian Jay Jones on Wednesday

Five reasons:

1. You’re interested/fascinated/obsessed with the life and work of Jim Henson.  You want to learn what inspired his genius and drove him to build the worlds and create the characters we all love.

2. You want to know more about Henson’s life and upbringing.  You’ve heard he had connections with the state of Maryland; what brought him here? How’d he get started?

3. You’ve seen Brian Jay Jones on the Daily Show (see below) and the Today show, you know he’s great speaker with an excellent story to tell, and don’t want to miss it.

4. You NEED to know if Kermit and Miss Piggy end up together.  You NEED to know how Oscar the Grouch ended up in that trash can.  (Answers to these aren’t Jim Hensonguaranteed, but maybe…)

5. You love supporting the GBF and you want to be present as we kick-off our 2014 programming.  (We love you too!)

If we missed any of your reasons, leave us a comment.  Please share this post with any and all who might be interested.  It will be great fun!
