Alison's interview with KOMO TV in regard to Michael Jackson and "Thrill Mill Creek"

After Michael Jackson's death, KOMO TV set out to do a series of news stories about the pop icon. They had Alison's information on file from when Applause Studio hosted the "Thrill Mill Creek" events, part of the "Thrill the World" worldwide event. They were looking to interview Alison and requested some footage from the past "Thrill Mill Creek" events. So Alison called me up and asked if I still had all the movies I took... luckily I did. So I met Alison at the Mill Creek Forum with disc in hand and then stayed during the interview. They even asked her to do the Thriller dance, which she happily did without music even. :-)

Here is the news clip that aired on KOMO TV:

Some pix and video from the interview:

Wylie Coyote in our back yard

This isn't a good quality video as I had to quickly shoot it through my kitchen window. The coyote had been trotting around in our back yard, looking for one of our cats, no doubt. Can you spot it in front of the tree?

Naughty Raccoons in the Back Yard

I finally caught these critters in the act. Every morning, I have to go and rescue my bird bath, which gets knocked over by these thirsty raccoons looking for water.
