The annual Big Chillout, a big surfing competition in Pacifica, CA.
On December 20th, Pacific Coast Television wrapped up 2018! Friends and family came out to 580 Crespi Drive to celebrate the year's accomplishments and get excited for 2019. The studio was filled with the smell of Kenny's Chinese Cafe and the sounds of caroling interns, with smiles to be found all around.
Even Santa made an appearance and doled out gifts and praise (and shared a hearty helping of Kenny's). DJ Amanda rocked the night away as we ran through karaoke, charades, and even an ugly sweater contest.
As we recognized several PCT standouts, we also said a very sad goodbye to our good friend Gwen Miller, a steadfast supporter and a member of our board for over a decade. Martin Anaya and Dennis Willis summed up her years with a few heartfelt words, and her contributions will be sorely missed.
Thank you, Gwen, for all you've done for Pacific Coast Television!
