Mike pretends to be Randy Jackson

Share

Mike was practicing his best "Yo, Dawg!" last night as he helped judge "Abingdon Idol" at the Chick-fil-A in Constant Friendship.

The "Paula" to Mike's "Randy" was Julienne Irwin last year's finalist
from America's Got Talent

The Judge's panel was rounded out with special judge Simon "Cow"
(Yes, he was wearing a black v-neck t-shirt)
Sadly, some severe thunderstorms cut the night short but it will be rescheduled within the next two weeks! During the rain storm, Mike said "I'm not feelin' it dawg!"

Family Night Out: Shuttle Watching

Share

This might be a night where you let the kiddos stay up past their bedtime to watch the latest Space Shuttle launch from your backyard.

The shuttle flight will be the 28th to rendezvous and dock with the International Space Station, and the glow of its engines will be visible along much of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

The launch is scheduled for 9:20pm. So, in the Mid-Atlantic region, look toward the south about 3 to 6 minutes after launch. The shuttle will appear to literally skim the horizon, so be sure there are no buildings or trees to obstruct your view.

SPACE.com is a great website with more details on watching from your backyard. Click HERE to visit them!
