Knott's Saloon

I had never, EVER been inside the saloon for more than a few minutes, just long enough to buy a soda and walk out so today I was excited to actually see a show.


I noticed some stairs and asked if I could go up to the balcony. Guess what? I had it all to myself!


Isn't this cool????


While I was waiting, I noticed this little detail...See the fancy cup of beer in the center?



Looking down through the railings.


The show begins!


At first, I felt bad because I was the only person in the audience but then they started talking to me. Once they found out where I lived, they incorporated jokes about it in their act. I was cracking up!


After the show, I remembered that there used to be a gunfight from the balcony outside of the building so I went in search of that. Found the door...and noticed the unique ironwork.


Then I poked my lens through it for this shot.


Back outside, I went in search of the Bottle House. I don't know why, but as a kid, this place always fascinated me.




Well folks, that's it for today!

Thanks for the tour Connie. I think it's pretty cool that they interacted with you directly during the show. Your own personal performance!

Ouch! That would be a little awkward being the only person in the audience. The singer usually pulls someone from the lower level and brings them over in front of the bar and talks to them (and I think she sings a song to them too). It's always been a male guest when I've seen the show. If there's nobody downstairs, I guess they just cut that part out of the show.

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can

Disneyland Trash Cans

Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee
