Yay!

Thank you to all who contributed to the "I AM BIG BIRD" Kickstarter campaign! Because of fans like you, this film will be a reality.

From the bottom of my heart, I cannot thank you enough! I cannot wait to see this film!

Less than two days left -- you still have time to help!

Hi all!

This is a friendly reminder that you have less than two days to contribute to the I AM BIG BIRD Kickstarter campaign. The more funds they raise, the more clips they can clear the rights more to include in the film!

Also, please check out this interview on The Muppet Mindset, where I talk about what it's like to operate CarollSpinney.net and to be a personal friend of Caroll's.

Only nine days left...you can make "I AM BIG BIRD" happen!

First, I would like to send out my appreciation, as a Kickstarter Ambassador for I AM BIG BIRD, to everybody who has pledged and spread the word about this wonderful project.

Second, I would like to ask you devoted Muppet fans to spread the word about this film to people who are fans of Big Bird and Oscar, and are unaware of the man behind these treasured characters.

If they can spare some dough, great! Please tell them that the $25 mark is essentially the same as pre-ordering the film; however any amount is greatly appreciated. If not, it is OK, too. Posting about this delightful project to your Twitters, Facebooks, blogs, and forums and Web sites is highly appreciated! Word of mouth is also a highly effective tool -- please tell a friend or two!

Please visit: http://www.iambigbird.com/ for more info and and click on the huge banner in the center of the page if you want to pledge.

Last, but certainly not least, please enjoy these videos and interviews!
