Photo-A-Day #3323

Today was a very full day at the PBS Annual Meeting. I got to see previews of so many of the upcoming programs for 2014-2015. There are many that I would really like to see, too.

We also went for a little field trip off to Pottery Barn Kids because they are teaming up with PBS Kids for a Summer Reading program. We met an author and enjoyed some specialty drinks and snacks int he store. I made a custom nameplate for a book for Eva. It was a nice little field trip.

We went to Le Garage in Sausalito for dinner. This was a great location. It was right on the water at a marina. I got today’s shot there and a very nice dinner. More great conversation.

Meeting Cookie Monster and David Rudman


Photo-A-Day #3322

Today I flew to San Francisco California for the PBS Annual Meeting. As one of the PBS Kids VIPS (Very Involved Parents) I get to attend the PBS Annual Meeting and it is so much fun. This is my third time attending the annual meeting and I was looking forward to catching up with my fellow VIPS. I was blown away by our chance to meet the amazing Cookie Monster. We also met the puppeteer/actor for Cookie. That man is David Rudman and he is pretty darn amazing. As soon as he begins to operate Cookie you see only Cookie Monster and Cookie Monster is who you speak with, it is a strange but cool thing.

This year there is going to be a full on Cookie Monster special. I think that the popularity of all of the Cookie Monster movie parodies has made this Muppet even more popular than ever. Of any Muppet ever he was the one I was so excited to meet, and I did, so cool.

I have a video that Cookie Monster made for my kids. I just have to edit it a little bit but I will post soon.

During the day I learned a lot about a great new app for parents called Super Vision. This app allows parents to see what their kids are learning, in real time, on PBS Kids.org.

We met with more people from PBS and they were great. We then had a little free time so I took a shower and got ready for dinner. Dinner was excellent. So much good food and conversation. I spent a lot of time talking all sorts of things with The Rock Father.

I also caught up with one of my fellow Imageloggers, Leticia! She is so much fun!
