Happy 55th Birthday Disneyland!
July 17, 1955 Disneyland opened. A park that I firmly believe put Orange County on the map for the rest of the country. I was lucky enough to have worked there for several years and be part of the dream of a man who was not only forward thinking, but had more imagination in... »
Dana Point Gray Whale
Just got back from “Baby Beach” where the wayward gray whale has taken refuge. Contrary to previous reports it is a juvenile, not 60+ years old. It has/had rope tangled on it’s fluke. I’ve got to go to work (I’m cutting it close. I got caught up in all the drama), but will post... »
Angels Start 2010 Season With A Lit Halo
It’s no secret I’m Dodger Blue through and through. (I grew up just minutes from the stadium and used to have season tickets) But as long as they’re not playing the Dodgers, I always enjoy a good Angels game. Tonight was a very good Angels game! It was the home opener for the 2010... »
Captain EO is back! February 23!!
That’s right kids. The rumors were all true. While it was originally thought that Captain EO would return for the special Halloween celebration Disneyland had in 2009, there simply wasn’t enough time to do it up right. According to the Disney Parks Blog the official date for it’s return is this Tuesday February 23!!!... »

Supercross Is Back!!!
OK, well, actually Supercross came back 2 weeks ago for the first race of the season. But as they have for the last several years, they will be running 3 separate weekends out of Anaheim Stadium. This Saturday is A2 (Anaheim 2), and it is sure to be a MESSY race! With record rainfall this last... »
Quick! While It’s Safe!
Alright kiddies. Today officially marks the end of the holiday festivities at the Disneyland Resort. It’s now officially safe to go back to the park. Oh sure, it’s a little chilly out (yes I consider 75 degrees chilly), and no there won’t be any pretty decorations. But the next 2 months will be the... »
New Moon at the Spectrum
B and I were walking thru the spectrum when we started to notice the amount of people walking around in blankets… sleeping bags along the parking structure…. people camping out. How could I have forgotten about New Moon opening? New Moon has already broken records for presale tickets. What always surprises me is the mixed... »
Kogi BBQ Comes To Orange County!
That’s right folks. The legendary Kogi BBQ, which has made quite the name for itself in Los Angeles for having amazing Korean BBQ with a bit of a Mexican flair (Korean short rib taco anyone??), and also for utilizing their Twitter account @kogibbq to tell folks where they are at the last minute, is here in... »

His wife reported him missing Sunday evening which launched a massive search. They found his truck off Green River and the 91. Since he was a hiker, this wasn’t considered unusual.... »
Orange County: The Crazies that Keep on Giving
I’ve been trying to stay away from the whole “birther” thing, I really have. These people are completely nuts, and I fear for their sanity. And I figured that writing about them would only encourage them more, so I definitely didn’t want to do that. But, it seems that everyone is talking about them, and... »
Squat Tawny Squat
See what happens when I leave town for a week? Tawny Kitaen was arrested in Newport Beach on Saturday for suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash... »
Alan Cumming Coming to OCPAC
My goodness, is the rather stodgy OCPAC becoming “edgy?” This Saturday famed performer Alan Cumming brings his one-man show “I Bought a Blue Car Today” to Orange County for two performances. I happen to think Alan is an interesting and brilliant performer, so go here to find out about tickets. »
And Now For Something Completely Different
Since we were just talking about Honey I Shrunk the Audience, one of two Disney attractions featuring Eric Idle (Journey into Imagination With Figment is the other) it should be noted that Spamalot is coming to town on October 6th at the Orange County Performing Arts Center! If you can see this, then you might... »
Bye Bye Honey, Hello Laugh Floor
With the fate of Captain EO still uncertain, only one thing is for sure (and by “for sure” I mean probably), Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (HISTA) is getting ready for its final bow. Our friends over at Mice Age recently reported on the EO woes and they seem certain that whether... »
