It’s time for The Muppet Show!

We can tell people are raring to go for our little Muppet guest star extravaganza, so please feel free to send Gill and I your posts over the next three days (find Gill’s blog here), or beyond, because, ya know, life, and we’ll add them on our respective pages. Naturally, since Gill’s in Finland and I’m in California, we’re the blogathon that never sleeps. Woo hoo!
