No not on the Television show. Orange County has about as bad a rep as Texas. Everyone thinks it’s just a bunch of right wing republicans with bleach blond girlfriends with boob jobs, but that is only most of the people in the OC. We happen to know lots of awesome people and always hide out on the Balboa Peninsula with our friends Luke, James, and Drew. The live in a set of 1940s cottages that are about to fall down and no one wants to buy them because the lot is about 2 blocks from the ocean and worth somewhere around a trillion dollars. So they live in Squalor next door to Millionaires and spend most weekends on fancy yachts drinking bourbon that cost more per bottle than their rent.
I told everyone about my soon to be published Blog: Living in a postcard… and they suggested we start living in it. Mai Tai's at Sunset were ordered at the fancy Bar on the Pier and I ate a plate of French fries for dinner.
The Mai thai was well worth the $7 for these shots:
We all piled into the van for our big show at The World Famous Doll Hut.
It’s just a mile from the front gate of Disneyland in Anaheim, but seemingly in a different world. It struck me that for a band as off the radar as we are; we tend to play at world Famous places all the time. We have a Live Record from The World Famous Hole in the Wall in Austin, Our picture up at The World Famous Buckhorn Bar in Laramie, WY, a summer residency at The World famous Silver Dollar Bar, but I will tell you they all have nothing on the World Famous Doll Hut. Just about every OC Punk rock band in history has played there and they even arranged for Disneyland to time their Firework celebration with our show so we stood in the Parking lot with some of OC’s finest Punk Rockers while we celebrated freedom and gunpowder in the Parking lot.
The Matson Two opened for us and were the best Jazz two piece (or 10 piece) I have ever seen. I was truly in awe of there talent. They are twins (I think) or else look a lot a like. I am never sure if its rude to ask, because maybe one of them thinks the other one is really ugly, but I think they look the same?
You should check them out:

It turns out that they play music with our friend Ray Barbee and have toured all over Japan and the world, so I guess the Doll Hut, truly is world Famous, if it had two world famous bands on the same night.
