James Bobin Director #MuppetsMostWantedEvent

He may not be as big a name as Spielberg, Lucas or Scorsese, but to me, James Bobin has them all beat.

Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane. Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. Not-so-silent-Bob Kevin Smith.

This past week, I was out in LA for an amazing blogging adventure.
