Ah, thx. We had an nice snow day last year. We rode Taron while it was dark and snowing - quite an experience. The only problem was to find our car on the parking lot under the snow… and to leave via its slippery hills. Luckily we left during the show’s finale. Other guest needed 3 hours for this.

When were you able to capture these great videos? As far as I remember there were only very few snow days in this region.

Big record labels claim to be helping musicians by destroying the @archive.org !

We organized a letter with over 500 musicians who are speaking out about how this couldn't be further from the truth:

Let’s be specific from a (wannabe) Disney historianβ€˜s point of view: the #internetarchive is invaluable source of documents like magazines or newspapers which are otherwise hard to almost impossible to access - especially if you are not located in the USA.

Demand big record labels drop their suit to destroy the Internet Archive

Don’t underestimate the importance of independent libraries and their right to archive, hold and lend books and other media. Greedy corporations and political agitators follow selfish plans to destroy sources of free information. Fight! www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/dema... #internetarchive

Euro Disney S.C.A. issued 28 annual reports between 1989 and 2016. After the takeover by the Walt Disney Company these documents vanished from their corporate website. I was finally able to track down sources for all reports. Check www.dix-project.net/featured/Ann...
