Earlier this past week I was able to get the wifie to go out to dinner.
Wife is an oncology nurse and is attending blood cancer seminars in Anaheim Ca. We're camped nearby in our RV at Orangeland RV park, a really spiffy, fun place.
We decided to try the Carthay Circle Restaurant at the nearby Disney Resort.
It's based somewhat themed on the Carthay Circle Theater in Hollywood and brother did they ever get it spot on correct.
We sat at the bar waiting for a table and this couple sit next to us dressed in 1930 clothing. Now occasionally the Disney Resort has an unofficial Dapper Day where guests get dressed up, but not this day that was months ago. This couple dresses like that always.
I had read about them and forgot about them long ago in maybe Westways or Los Angeles Magazine.
Or was it them??? They live in a 1930's Los Angeles neighborhood and drive 1930's cars and are still at it.
They live the life style.
I had mentioned in a Travel forum that I was taking the elusive wife on a super rare dinner out and mentioned the Carthay Circle Restaurant. They read my post, came in and asked the employees if they knew me. Edgar the bartender introduced us. I'm on a first name basis with most bartenders.
The couple makes a living writing travel stories and also music jingles. "Barely make a living" is how they describe it.
Well, they wanted to know more about the Shut Up Sisters I once mentioned in a travel forum post. They wanted to meet them and write a short, funny story about them.
The Shut Up Sisters frequent a Dive Bar I hang out at. They drive all the customers mad. They are polite, so ya can't kick them out now can you?
If they don't talk for 15 minutes, they each get a free cocktail.
Some lawyers and judges come in for drinks after court and they will pick up their entire bar tab if the Sisters "Shut Up."
I gave the couple all the info and told them to hook up with Ryan, a professional Dog Walker kid that hangs out at the Dive bar who has witty and funny takes and experiences about the sisters. Ryan also cares for the elderly in his family and has a heart of gold. The dog walking customers pay him and pick up his bar tab.
OK onto dinner.
For Dinner I had the steak, wife had the Roasted Pumpkin and Sage Gnocchi. Dinner included special seating for the World of Color water and light show.
All outstanding.

The dinner looks excellent! What's that steak sitting on - some sort of grain?
