Deadliest Catch - KOMO TV - Sig Hansen...

Okay for a bit of a setup to this....


Chris's Uncle Mike, an attorney has a client and family friend who owns a chain of Mexican restaurants called Torero's. They were shooting a TV commercial there last week and wanted a group there eating lunch to use as "extras" so they invited Mike's entire office down and a few others. Chris gets there and the cameraman is an old friend, Mark. Mark is married to Debbie, not only a very old friend of Chris' but they also dated in high school (yeah this is really going way back). Mark works for KOMO TV and has for a long time and Chris sometimes bumps into him at Fisher Plaza when he is there for meetings or doing his radio show.

The funny part was that morning Mark tells Debbie that he is shooting a commercial at Torero's in Renton, Deb says hey the first time I went out for Mexican food was with Chris at the Torero's in Renton. So Mark thought it was pretty funny when Chris walked in. Mark was part of the crew from KOMO TV that just finished up a special on Sig Hansen and the Northwestern of Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" that is taking the world by storm. Mark was one of the people behind the scenes of this special and they were having a "wrap" party for the crew and cast to watch the show as it aired Thursday night at the Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls. Mark invited Chris to tag along and meet Sig. Apparently he had a good time, didn't make it home until well after midnight and had quite a few stories about Sig to share.


Here is a pic of Chris and Sig


And here is Mark with Sig
