Ground Control to Major Tom...
Hello. I'm a library clerk. I like the smell of new books, random facts about random things, children's literature, browsing bookstores, rock and roll, 1960s fashion, Galaga, comic book heroes and villains, empathetic people, museums, vintage jewelry, silent movies, Technicolor, TCM, The Velvet Underground, Amy Winehouse, The White Stripes, Wes Anderson movies, Diet Coke, Jack White, Vampire Weekend, The Black Keys, Harry Potter, and baking things that contain marshmallow. My celeb crushes are John Garfield, Ben Whishaw, and Ezra Koenig. Harold and Maude is my favorite movie.

Good evening, sir. Forgive me. I was simply—
In need of some quiet? I have been in search of it all night. Perhaps we can enjoy the silence together?

Happy Pride month to all the gay folks who should still be with us but were lost to AIDS. So many of them had (and continue to have) huge impacts on the world, despite their lives being tragically cut short.
Since this is primarily a Muppet blog, I wanted to take a moment to talk about Richard Hunt.
Richard Hunt was a gay man and a fantastic puppeteer who started working with Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, and company in 1970 at age eighteen and joined the cast of Sesame Street two years later. While working with the Muppets, he originated the characters of Scooter, Beaker, Statler, Sweetums, and Wayne, but also became the primary performer of Janice and is responsible for the flower child personality she is now known for. He was also known to be a fantastic singer. According the book "Of Muppets and Men" by Christopher Finch, Hunt "seems to get more unadulterated pleasure from performing than anyone else in the organization. When he is not working on camera, he is apt to have Scooter or Beaker or Janice -- anyone -- on his arm for the purpose of entertaining... He makes the crew laugh, jokes with the guest star, clowns for the shop personnel. He is one of the chief reasons for the loose atmosphere that exists around Studio D despite the pressure and the slow pace that are endemic to television production." Hunt died at age 41 due to AIDS complications. The Muppet Workshop made a panel for the NAMES Project AIDS quilt in his honor. The Richard Hunt Spirit Award is presented every year at the Sesame Street wrap party to the cast member that best honors Hunt's generosity and dedication on set.
Rest in peace Richard, and happy Pride 💛
