Sesame Street Live! at the Library

A simple web ad was created using provided art from Sesame Street Live.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting Elmo and Super Grover from Sesame Street Live. The cast was in town for two days performing at another venu, and were kind enough to come by for a big hug-fest in the children's section of the library. Oh, the humanity! It was quite a scene.


The dynamic duo were actually late for their appearance after discovering they were inadvertently sent to the wrong branch (holy Count Chocula, Batman...foiled by misinformation again!). Librarians were sweating bullets, each with a phone to their ear of their panic-stricken heads, the look of blood having drained from their collective faces. Considering the attention span of the young audience, the scene could get ugly fast.


Fortunately, Sesame Street stories and trivia were fast at hand for the quick-thinking first responders, and the diversion lasted long enough for the life-sized muppets to make their way to the correct library branch.


Photos were taken during the melee and posted at our Alachua County Library District Flickr photo album here:

Marketing materials for the event included 100 handbills (shown at right), two 11x17 inch signs based on the handbill design, and a library web site ad (above).


The sound of cheers of delight and unconsolable, traumatic wailing--complete with crocodile tears--still rings in my ears a day later.
