No need to say I'll cry and bang my head on walls if I don't go to this.

Sure, but I'm not very found of this kind of thing. I was talking about the Premiere all included, not only the outside-the-May-Fair-part.
I'd prefer to see the film, the Q&A or introduction with puppeteers and everything (if there's one), rather than just standing there for hours to see 2seconds of Kermit.
Either I go and see the film or don't go at all.

The temptation might be too strong, though, so I don't really know...

To be fair, the introduction inside will be 2 secs too, you might as well stand outside instead and get a picture or something

My birthday is in two months. Thank you.
I had a stuffed kermit like the one in the link over 30 years ago, I b*ght it as a teenager as I was kermit mad. I think I sent it to the charity shop once my kids had grown up as it was still in really good condition, I wish I had kept it now they are back in fashion :cry:

yeah I would have thought there would be more of a 'show' of the puppets on the red carpet than inside.

WHO WANTS TO COME WITH ME?
Yes I can spend my money in the Muppets and not in a Xmas Party.
