DISNEYLAND
Many new figures in the IT'S A SMALL WORLD ATTRACTION in the same, wonderful Mary Blair Style!
This past week marked the 55th Anniversary of DISNEYLAND! We were there this past Sunday :) to help celebrate!
I have no strings...
from the MR. LINCOLN exhibit/attraction... It was great to see that again!
I had a nice Father's Day with Sara and Josh today! We had lunch at one of my favorite places...Ted Turner's TED'S BISON GRILL!
We also went to the show to see PIXAR'S TOY STORY 3! Enjoyed Teddy Newton's NIGHT & DAY...it was an artsy short that reflected back to the old Academy Award winning shorts by UPA and Chuck Jones. TOY STORY 3 had a little too many chase scenes for me BUT the ending made it all worth it with Romeo Muller style heart and warmth and will bring a tear to your eye. We had to sit through about 25 minutes of trailers again, that I can only describe as TRAILER TRASH! These were for upcoming films (Most poorly CGI animated) from DREAMWORKS, DISNEY, etc. These companies have no clue what make a movie special and make sure they have star talent doing the voices and make a big deal out of the 3-D. This is all they have. I didn't hear one single laugh during the whole bunch of them. 
We picked up the TOY STORY 2 BLU RAY last night (My favorite film of the trio) and it has a GREAT tribute doc on my late friend JOE RANFT!

HOLLYWOOD BOWL
A pretty famous band played here in 1964 and 1965! I just heard on the radio today that TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS are playing here soon! We saw a huge image of his new MOJO on the side of a building near WARNER BROS.
First RANKIN/BASS to hit BLU RAY! Release date: October 5th, 2010
I thought this might be the first RANKIN/BASS BLU RAY! The special was really cleaned up a few years back and we did the documentary "We Are Santa's Elves" a few years back as well! I was really happy with the cover design, because I told them to feature HEAT MISER/SNOW MISER and the original logo AND they listened. The Blu Ray comes with the DVD copy too and NESTOR, THE LONG-EARED DONKEY and RUDOLPH'S SHINY NEW YEAR are included in HI DEF too!

HOLLYWOOD GUITAR CENTER
Two of my all-time favorites!
Playing a GRETSCH Chet Atkins Country Gentleman! A guitar made famous by BEATLE George Harrison on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW! I love the padded back and the Bigsby whammy bar.
One of Josh's favorite bands!
two more of my all-time favorites!
These hands helped make some great music!
Josh's guitar heroes!CAIOTI PIZZA CAFE in Studio City, CA
Had a great first night dinner with our good friends Patrick & Leslie Owsley at CAIOTI PIZZA CAFE! Sometimes the cast of THE OFFICE shares a pizza here.
Josh sits across the street from VITELLO'S...a restaurant made famous a few years back by actor Robert Blake (Baretta, OUR GANG).HANNA-BARBERA studios
The HANNA-BARBERA studios as it appears today (No longer the H-B building). It should have been turned into a landmark and changed into a HANNA-BARBERA museum. I have no idea why it wasn't.
The front doors were bricked up...
