Unique Bob Gurr video I didn't know I had! We ran into Bob in December 2009 on the day the new Lincoln show debuted. A video podcast was recording him and my dad (also there) got this video of Bob seeing the original colored version of his Monorail drawing for the first time!

Tom doesn't like "on this day posts," so it's significant he's posting one—until you remember/learn that 18 years earlier he had already gone into outer space on a Flying Saucer!

Today at Disneyland you can't visit Don DeFore's Silver Banjo Barbecue, nor can you visit the guerrilla historical marker the DeFore family repeatedly put up in the 2000s. BUT you can still see where that plaque was glued behind the tree!

Unofficial historical marker in Frontierland at Disneyland, reading, "Disneyland Historical Site. On this site from 1957 to 1961 stood Don DeFore's Silver Banjo Barbecue Restaurant-finest barbecue this side of the Mississippi!"

Eating area at Disneyland. The plaque was glued just above where the trunk splits.

Tried to explain the Red Sox and Yankees to 10yo, which led to a discussion and viewing of 2003/2004, leading to questions about video quality, leading me to talk about recording the Angels on VHS in 2002, leading to questions about how videocassettes work…

Underrated moment in Disneyland history: the landmark history of the Park, as told through postcards, gets the postcard treatment itself to advertise a book signing.

You'd expect this from somebody who's created a thesaurus, but I mostly see the world through connections between things. And Bob Gurr has been a through line for a bunch of major things in my life.

My 8th grader is looking for a Disney theme park-related topic for a research paper. He's previously done papers on: - History of EPCOT - History/Conversion of Splash Mountain to whatever it is now Suggestions on topics that have good amount of references for citations? (that rules out trash cans)

I don't know what's going on in this 1980s photo of Mission to Mars, so I'm just going to call it Redd Rockett's Pizza Port foreshadowing.
