So the "I hate to love them and love to hate them" site LetsRun.com has some previews of the middle distance and distance events at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Both Robby Creese and Brannon Kidder are mentioned in the articles that generally slobber over whomever is the "coffee of the day", this time Edward Cheserek.and Cristian Soratos.
And I checked out brother-in-law Steve Black on yesterday's Premiere of The Mill Race Monster on Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in Americaseries. He did a bang up job as a somewhat skeptical policeman at the initial reports of the monster by 3 scared girls. Realism was enhanced with the cup of coffee in his hand! (I have to watch it again. He thinks he was eating a donut too!) The production values on the episode are really astounding, and it was formatted just like the very popular Forensic Files episodes. The narrator's voice can cut butter like a heated knife and the fog and graphics are top-notch. The monster itself was so-so, and I think should have never been shown as in the original Halloween movie. Steve later again appears as Officer Charlie blocking monster-hunters from entering the park with baseball bats and shot guns. "Stand back. Nothing to see here." Steve says the best part of acting is the access to the set buffets. When I said I read several people questioning the sightings as a hoax with even a confession from a kid with a mask and a blanket, Steve said "Thank that kid for the good paycheck!"
I actually purchased the episode on YouTube through Google and can watch it again any time I want to! I can't post it, but in the mean time here's Steve as an FBI Agent in the Pizza Delivery/Collar Bomb story in Erie PA episode of Investigation Discovery's FBI Criminal Pursuit episode "Deadly Game"
And I am officially on The Big Screen with the premiere of Plan 9 in Australia. As an Associate Producer, I will soon be reaping the rewards of the movie industry! This is a campy, gory remake of the worst movie ever made by Ed Wood (portrayed by Johnny Depp in the movie Ed Wood).
