Tomorrow is Elmo's birthday ( also yours truly). Furry red, energetic, and always speaking in the third person ( "Elmo loves you"), Elmo the perpetual three-year-old was first an unknown Muppet in the 70s that the puppeteers once and while would try to give life to, but nothing worked. It wasn't 1984 that a puppeteer named Kevin Clash picked up the furry red Muppet, and Elmo was born ( for more info, see visit the Wikipedia page on Elmo).

Okay, as I was browsing for information and pictures of Elmo, discovered that last year, a documentary called "Being Elmo" premiered at Sundance last year and had a limited run in the fall. I don't see a release date for the DVD but I am curious about it when it does come out!
