I was born in Anaheim, CA in 1968 into the hotbed of this pop culture, and spent the early half of my childhood growing up there. We were so close to Disneyland, that when we stood on the diving board for the swimming pool in my grandparent's backyard, we could see the Matterhorn. So as an kid growing up I was exposed to all the googie/space age/tiki atmosphere that surrounded the park along Harbor, Katella and West St. in the late 60s and early 70s. It's been with me ever since.
