Interview for MTV

When MTV asked the Goo Goo Dolls where they'd like to go for the Rock in High Places show, they said Alaska. A company in Anchorage picked out three places for filming and Kotzebue was one of them. The band spent a day in the town and it was a great event for us and for them. The resulting DVD is a good one and available at most video stores. When bass player Robbie stepped up to the walrus hide to try the blanket toss, I said "this guy is going to the hospital!" The blanket toss is not for sissies nor for the inebriated. To my surprise, he really performed. I don't think he knows how impressed a bunch of people on the Chukchi Sea were with his performance that day.

My mom called me while we were out of Kotzebue visiting my husband's family in Massachusetts. She said, "Babe, I need your van. The Goo Goo Dolls need it to get around town." Of course, not because it was the Goo Goo Dolls, but because it was my Mom, I said yes. I miss living in the same town with her. I could be laid back at home, thinking I am bored, she calls and there is lots to do!
