TADA!

That was what Pop Pop would always have us say growing up. No matter what we’d accomplished, big or small, it wasn’t done until you threw your arms in the air and yelled, “Tada!”

We were all so lucky to have a grandfather who celebrated us at every step of the way. After losing him earlier this year, our family wanted to find the perfect way to celebrate his life in the same way he always celebrated ours.

Of all the things Pop Pop loved, space was the biggest — if you ever met him, you could probably tell from something he was wearing. But he was more than a lover of space, he was an evangelist for it. He took us to rocket launches and the Kennedy Center — Maddie and Lizzie even went to space camp! And it wasn’t just us. Pop Pop spent his free time volunteering at space museums. He even took groups of school kids he’d never met to see launches, much of it on his own dime.

So this year, our family got in touch with @the_cosmosphere to remember him the only way that felt right — with a SPACE CAMP Scholarship in his name 🚀.

We have been raising funds to help send kids who love space to a place where they can run missions, solve problems, build confidence, and begin to imagine themselves as future engineers, scientists, pilots, and explorers.

Today, our “Tada!” is for the fact that we’ve already raised enough to send 68(!) kids to space camp. But we’re not stopping there — we’re two-thirds of the way to our goal of $25,000, which would make the Mark Annis Space Camp Scholarship Fund a PERMANENT, endowed scholarship that carries on Pop Pop’s legacy for years to come.

It would mean so much to us if you’d consider contributing. We’ve each linked the fundraiser in our bios — every little bit keeps the ripple going!

With love and rocket fuel,
Audrey, Maddie, Lizzie, and Hannah❤️

Don’t forget—- it’s your patriotic duty this weekend to see @coyoteacmemovie in a theater multiple times so you can give a big middle finger to the corporate weasels who tried to kill art. Make this thing a HUGE SUCCESS. We spoke with @legionmofficial Co-Founder/President @jeffannison about the film and some of the other great projects Legion M is part of. Watch the full interview on the Cherry the Geek TV YouTube channel!

✏️ FROM STORYBOARD TO STARSHIP 🚀✨

A hand-drawn frame from my original STARLING storyboards vs. the finished shot of SEIV-YR behind the controls of her spaceship — complete with color, rotoscoping, VFX, and layers of sci-fi goodness. ⚡️🪐

It started with a pen… and ended up in space. 🤘🚀

It’s been an eventful week! Straight from astronauts in Kansas to Green Day in Hollywood! 🚀🤘

We were invited to attend the Hollywood premiere of Nimrods, the new Green Day movie! Red carpet (except it was green of course) an exclusive screening, and the chance to meet the band and members of the cast.

I really loved this movie! It’s nostalgic, funny, heartfelt, and it obv has awesome music. Go see it.

But the coolest part for me was getting to celebrate my brother Jeff, Paul and Legion M, which helped bring this movie to life. Legion M started with this crazy idea: what if fans could actually have a seat at the table in Hollywood? It’s been so awesome to watch that idea grow and help produce such fun movies.

So proud of you, bro. ❤️

Check out Nimrods. And make sure you watch it LOUD!

Still riding the high from an incredible night at the Hollywood premiere of NIMRODS — A Green Day Comedy! 🎬💚

Getting to celebrate this film with Green Day, Legion M, the filmmakers, cast and everyone who helped bring it to the screen was an absolute blast — 🤯🎸⚡️

Huge THANK YOU to Jeff Annison, Legion M, Green Day and especially my longtime buddy Ricky Lim for having me and allowing me to be involved with this film in my own little way. =) 🙏🏻

Really grateful to have been a tiny part of this adventure and to celebrate with everyone who made it happen.

NIMRODS is NOW PLAYING IN THEATERS! 🍿🎬
Go see it on the BIG SCREEN and support this awesome, funny, punk-rock love letter to friendship, music and chasing something crazy. 🤘🏻

OMG Dad would have LOVED this! 🚀❤️ In honor of him, this week my nieces Lizzie, Hannah and I took the ultimate Annis family field trip to celebrate the Artemis II mission with astronauts Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman and an amazing group of people from NASA and the Cosmosphere!

We got to hear the astronauts' personal take on the mission, pore over a huge collection of spacecraft that have been to space, see a piece of the MOON 🤯 and have what I’m pretty sure Dad would have considered the BEST DAY EVER.

He took us to space camp, rocket launches and museums because he wanted us to feel the awe and possibility of space. He started all these little ripples without ever knowing where they might go. And now we get to keep them going. ❤️

That’s exactly what we’re trying to do with the Mark Annis Space Camp Scholarship. So far, we’ve raised enough to send 55 kids to space camp, and we’re already halfway to our goal of making the scholarship permanent (!!) so kids can keep experiencing that same awe and possibility for years to come.

🚀 $250 sends one kid to space camp.

Help us keep the ripple going! Donate (any amount helps!), share this with someone who loves space, or drop your favorite Dad or space story below. Every donation, share and story brings another kid closer to space. ❤️

Donate through the link in my bio. 🚀

And a huge thank you to everyone who has already donated, shared, reached out and supported this scholarship. It means so much more than you know. 🥰

Happy 95th birthday to Bill Shatner, who still absolutely has more energy than most of us.

Celebrated with Bill and team Legion M in 2023 and 2024, in, respectively, an office in Austin gate crashed by the fab Evil Dead film team, and a Culver City studio. Then there was handprint ceremonies, premieres, song performances and SDCC panels.

Bill may well be celebrating this year with his feet up or skydiving - either equally possible. 🎂

*also should explain that last photo - a camera set up in Austin that changed your face to whatever celeb. This was the Bill setting. I’m still laughing at it 3 years on
