Guess who's coming to Kalamazoo?
Caroll Spinney, puppeteer of Big Bird, and Oscar the Grouch! He'll be doing a reading and a book signing for his new memoir, The Wisdom of Big Bird (and the Dark Genius of Oscar the Grouch): Lessons from a Life in Feathers at Kalamazoo Public Library Central Branch at 4:30pm, and then at 7pm, he'll be at Chenery Auditorium, speaking about his career on Sesame Street. Admission is free, but you need a ticket from KPL so they can keep track of attendance. If any out-of-towners want to go, drop me a line or a comment and I'll be happy to swing by and pick you up a ticket.
Yay!
That's very cool, if somewhat puzzling -- The Wisdom of Big Bird has been out for five years. Wish I could go, but I've got storytime, a library booksale, and company coming ... please give a report!
