>>They have amazing hash browns,

00:04.433 --> 00:06.866 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
and I love the
color of the place.

00:06.866 --> 00:09.433 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
And I like it, it's good.

00:09.433 --> 00:10.933 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Good vibes. (laughs)

00:10.933 --> 00:13.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
>>Well, I see the Blue Moon
Diner as a one of a kind.

00:13.333 --> 00:18.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's a place where you can just
relax and try something new,

00:18.133 --> 00:20.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and meet some interesting
people, artists,

00:20.366 --> 00:23.733 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
engineers,
songwriters, sculptors,

00:23.733 --> 00:26.166 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
businessmen, lawyers, doctors,

00:26.166 --> 00:27.866 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
everybody comes to the diner.

00:27.866 --> 00:29.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>Today we're going
to feature a favorite

00:29.500 --> 00:32.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
local eatery that has
been serving our community

00:32.033 --> 00:33.500 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
since the late 1940s.

00:34.966 --> 00:38.300 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
This popular spot not only
provides patrons with tasty

00:38.300 --> 00:40.700 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
breakfast, lunch, brunch,
and dinner dishes,

00:40.700 --> 00:43.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
it is also widely
known as a place

00:43.100 --> 00:46.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
to feel at home and
catch up with friends.

00:46.266 --> 00:50.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Join us as we visit Laura
Galgano, at the Blue Moon Diner.

00:50.333 --> 00:51.233 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Come on.

00:51.233 --> 00:52.233 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%

00:52.233 --> 00:56.966 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
♪ They would look elsewhere

00:56.966 --> 00:59.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%

♪ And she ends up all alone

01:05.633 --> 01:07.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
>>It actually first opened

01:07.133 --> 01:09.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
as a place called the
Waffle Shop in 1949.

01:09.866 --> 01:13.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And in the late 70s,
it was re-opened,

01:13.633 --> 01:15.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
as Blue Moon Diner, by
Buzzy and Allison White.

01:15.800 --> 01:16.733 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
>>Oh, that's so great.

01:16.733 --> 01:17.966 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
>>And it was a family event.

01:17.966 --> 01:20.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
They lived in the
apartment upstairs.

01:20.533 --> 01:23.400 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
And they served brunch
for the first few years.

01:23.400 --> 01:27.200 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
And then they sold
it to Jerry Danner,

01:27.200 --> 01:28.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
who has started a lot of
restaurants in the area.

01:28.733 --> 01:30.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
>>Yeah, a lot of restaurants
in the community.

01:30.300 --> 01:33.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
>>And then he sold
it to Paul Grady,

01:33.233 --> 01:35.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
who was the big
Elvis fan, so most

01:35.333 --> 01:37.733 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
of the Elvis memorabilia that
you see around the diner--

01:37.733 --> 01:38.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
>>(laughs) That's great.

01:38.566 --> 01:39.933 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
>>Came from Paul Grady.

01:39.933 --> 01:41.700 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
He was a huge fan.

01:43.133 --> 01:46.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And Paul Westenberger
owned it for a short time.

01:46.000 --> 01:49.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And he was famous for doing
his hospital happy hours,

01:49.600 --> 01:51.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
in the morning, when
all of the nurses

01:51.733 --> 01:53.700 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
would get off of their shifts.

01:53.700 --> 01:54.966 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
>>Oh my gosh.

01:54.966 --> 01:55.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>They'd come here and
have their happy hours,

01:55.833 --> 01:57.733 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
before they went to bed.

01:57.733 --> 02:00.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And then, after
Westenberger had it,

02:00.300 --> 02:02.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Mark Hahn and Rob
Gusterson bought it.

02:02.733 --> 02:05.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
And they had both worked here,

02:05.400 --> 02:08.300 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
under Paul Grady, in college.

02:08.300 --> 02:12.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And had very fond memories,
wanted to start a restaurant,

02:12.066 --> 02:13.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
took over the diner and really,

02:13.833 --> 02:15.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
really made it into something.

02:15.400 --> 02:18.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
>>So what inspired you and Rice,

02:18.066 --> 02:20.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
to take over a restaurant,
re-open the restaurant?

02:20.766 --> 02:23.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
>>We met working in
restaurants, so we have always

02:23.766 --> 02:26.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
had a love of food and
the restaurant lifestyle.

02:26.766 --> 02:29.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And this excitement
of getting to meet

02:29.233 --> 02:31.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
new people everyday,
even though you're doing

02:31.033 --> 02:32.800 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
very similar actions.

02:32.800 --> 02:34.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So there's always
something exciting.

02:34.600 --> 02:35.966 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
There's always something new.

02:35.966 --> 02:37.866 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
And always something to learn.

02:37.866 --> 02:41.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And it's just a lovely way
to be able to experience

02:41.100 --> 02:42.633 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
other people's lives.

02:42.633 --> 02:44.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>So you run the
front, and you have

02:44.766 --> 02:46.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
your little office
right at the counter.

02:46.366 --> 02:48.333 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
>>I do, I have a real office,

02:48.333 --> 02:50.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and I spend so
little time in it.

02:50.133 --> 02:51.600 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
(Terri laughs)

02:51.600 --> 02:52.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Because I want to be
downstairs in the action.

02:52.566 --> 02:54.166 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
I don't wanna miss anything.

02:54.166 --> 02:56.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>And Rice has always
run the kitchen right?

02:56.100 --> 02:57.066 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
>>Yeah he--

02:57.066 --> 02:58.333 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
>>And he designs the menus.

02:58.333 --> 02:59.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>He designs the menu,
and has such a creative

02:59.866 --> 03:02.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
mind, of pairing different
foods and ingredients.

03:02.933 --> 03:04.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
That sometimes make
me look at him funny,

03:04.733 --> 03:07.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and then I taste
it, and I say, wow.

03:07.400 --> 03:09.000 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
This is incredible.

03:09.000 --> 03:10.466 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
>>Order up.

03:10.466 --> 03:12.433 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
>>I come here for the food,
I'm pretty predictable.

03:12.433 --> 03:15.200 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
Dinner, it's always
a Skipjack burger.

03:15.200 --> 03:18.300 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
I don't stray too much, except
for the occasional special.

03:18.300 --> 03:19.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>When I first came
here, I was surprised

03:19.933 --> 03:22.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
to find out that they
had all day breakfast.

03:22.500 --> 03:24.266 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
And that's when I decided
I was gonna come back

03:24.266 --> 03:27.233 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
every time I had a craving
for eggs or pancakes.

03:27.233 --> 03:28.966 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
>>I'm from Santa
Cruz, California,

03:28.966 --> 03:31.566 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
and I'm currently
traveling the country.

03:31.566 --> 03:33.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So I came to Charlottesville
because I heard

03:33.933 --> 03:35.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
it had a lot of history,
and I wanted to see

03:35.966 --> 03:37.466 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Thomas Jefferson's house.

03:37.466 --> 03:41.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And just check out what
the locals do around here.

03:41.633 --> 03:44.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
>>You have items that have
always been on this menu.

03:44.866 --> 03:46.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
>>Yes, I mean, we
still use the same

03:46.500 --> 03:50.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
pancake recipe that Buzzy
White used in the 70s.

03:50.733 --> 03:52.766 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
>>And that's fantastic.

03:52.766 --> 03:54.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>I've never
encountered pancakes

03:54.866 --> 03:57.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
that are quite as
delicious as ours are.

03:57.666 --> 04:00.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I don't know what magic
happens in that mix.

04:00.966 --> 04:02.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
But they are fantastic.

04:04.500 --> 04:06.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>You can get
burgers, you can get

04:06.300 --> 04:07.766 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
a basic breakfast or you--

04:07.766 --> 04:10.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>You can also get a
local organic salad.

04:10.233 --> 04:14.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
You can get, if you're
looking for a vegan dish

04:14.266 --> 04:15.733 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
you can have something.

04:15.733 --> 04:19.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
If your grandmother needs
to have a very plain,

04:19.466 --> 04:20.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
bland diet, we have
something on the menu.

04:20.666 --> 04:21.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
The goal is to have
it be somewhere

04:23.666 --> 04:27.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that no one in the
family is upset to go to.

04:27.133 --> 04:30.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
There's always that sort
of play of negotiation.

04:30.200 --> 04:31.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Where are we going to
dinner, when you have

04:31.733 --> 04:35.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
so many different generations
involved in one group.

04:35.100 --> 04:37.033 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Diners are for everyone.

04:37.033 --> 04:39.666 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
>>Yes, we've done that
many times with our family.

04:39.666 --> 04:41.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And I have a brother
who, basically

04:41.733 --> 04:43.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
this is his favorite restaurant.

04:43.533 --> 04:44.633 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
>>And we love him.

04:44.633 --> 04:46.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
>>Well he's a creature of habit,

04:46.166 --> 04:47.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and he orders the
same thing every time.

04:47.833 --> 04:50.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
So when he walks
through the door,

04:50.300 --> 04:53.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
he gets his coffee
before asking,

04:53.000 --> 04:54.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and his order is
placed immediately.

04:54.966 --> 04:57.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>He is actually part
of our training process.

04:57.833 --> 05:00.133 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
(laughing)

05:01.233 --> 05:03.500 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
>>We have a whole
group of regulars here.

05:03.500 --> 05:06.133 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
They really are part of
the training process.

05:06.133 --> 05:08.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
They all, as soon as a
new employee is here,

05:08.900 --> 05:11.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
they are instantly
introducing themselves.

05:11.466 --> 05:14.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
This is who I am, and
this is what I do.

05:14.200 --> 05:17.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And they will give me
the feedback as well.

05:17.133 --> 05:18.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Oh this one's gonna
work out great.

05:18.433 --> 05:20.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Or, yeah, you're gonna
have to watch this one.

05:20.166 --> 05:21.800 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
She can't remember my order.

05:21.800 --> 05:23.033 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
(laughing)

05:23.033 --> 05:24.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>Oh that's so great,
and that ties into,

05:24.933 --> 05:28.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
I mean, what is Blue Moon
Diner, most known for.

05:28.600 --> 05:31.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Is it the food, is it
atmosphere, what is it?

05:31.800 --> 05:34.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>It's different things
to different people.

05:34.500 --> 05:36.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And that's part of it,
is that we have people

05:36.566 --> 05:38.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
who only ever come
here for brunch.

05:38.833 --> 05:41.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So in their mind, the
diner is a very busy,

05:41.933 --> 05:44.000 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
very chaotic restaurant that--

05:44.000 --> 05:45.800 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
>>People wait for brunch.

05:45.800 --> 05:46.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
>>Yeah, I mean.

05:46.700 --> 05:47.533 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
>>It's so popular.

05:47.533 --> 05:48.700 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
>>And thank you for it.

05:48.700 --> 05:50.733 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
(laughing)

05:50.733 --> 05:52.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>And rattle off some
of the brunch items,

05:52.633 --> 05:54.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
because it's not
diner food per se.

05:54.600 --> 05:56.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
>>No, we try to have a
little fun with the brunch.

05:56.833 --> 05:58.133 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
We do a poached egg special.

05:58.133 --> 05:59.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
We'll make Hollandaise.

05:59.366 --> 06:02.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
We do quiche that is
in a spring form pan,

06:02.100 --> 06:05.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
so it's the tallest, fluffiest
quiche you'll ever have.

06:05.466 --> 06:07.333 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
I mean, we really try to
play around with different

06:07.333 --> 06:10.100 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
local ingredients with
fun different styles

06:10.100 --> 06:14.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
On occasion we'll
have Vichyssoise,
which is not something

06:14.233 --> 06:18.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
you would expect to see at a
diner, and people will love it.

06:18.266 --> 06:20.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Cold potato soup, who doesn't
want cold potato soup?

06:20.600 --> 06:21.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>But you can still
have a grilled

06:21.933 --> 06:24.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
cheese sandwich and
fries if you want.

06:24.300 --> 06:25.766 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
>>Exactly.

06:25.766 --> 06:28.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
>>Name some of the top favorite,
I mean there are favorites.

06:28.800 --> 06:30.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
>>The Juevos Blue Moonos,
is another one of those

06:30.933 --> 06:33.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
items that put on
in the early days.

06:33.900 --> 06:36.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And it is our take on
a Juevos Rancheros.

06:36.733 --> 06:38.600 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
It is simple and delicious.

06:38.600 --> 06:40.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And then, you know,
for the healthy minded.

06:40.533 --> 06:43.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
We got a vegan garbage
plate that is tempeh,

06:43.333 --> 06:46.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and a vegan chili, doesn't
have any meat in it.

06:46.233 --> 06:47.733 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Any meat touching it.

06:47.733 --> 06:49.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>I love it, you have
items that have been

06:49.100 --> 06:51.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
on the menu forever,
and you have new items.

06:51.100 --> 06:53.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
And it reminds me
of Main street.

06:53.433 --> 06:56.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Talk about how you
do and don't change.

06:56.200 --> 06:57.433 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
Talk about that.

06:57.433 --> 07:00.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>The biggest thing with
some place like this,

07:00.366 --> 07:03.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
is that we really kinda
feel that we're more

07:03.266 --> 07:06.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
stewards of the diner,
then actual owners

07:06.866 --> 07:09.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of the diner, because
it is so important

07:09.166 --> 07:10.666 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
to so many people.

07:10.666 --> 07:13.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And when the first day we
reopened, we had people

07:13.066 --> 07:15.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
walking in the
door, thanking us.

07:16.566 --> 07:18.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
That's not something you
get, as a restaurant.

07:18.533 --> 07:20.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Like usually, you're fighting
for those loyal customers.

07:20.700 --> 07:22.033 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
But we already had them.

07:22.033 --> 07:24.200 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
We just have to make sure that

07:24.200 --> 07:26.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
they are along the ride with us.

07:26.200 --> 07:28.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
That we're all on this
fun journey together.

07:28.233 --> 07:30.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
That there are still
things that are familiar,

07:30.200 --> 07:33.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and welcoming and that
we retain that notion

07:33.400 --> 07:35.366 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
that anybody can come in here.

07:35.366 --> 07:37.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And then anybody can
find something in here,

07:37.266 --> 07:39.133 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
and be welcomed in here.

07:39.133 --> 07:40.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>Well, I was walking
in the street,

07:40.833 --> 07:42.833 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
towards my hotel,
and I ask where

07:42.833 --> 07:44.733 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
I could have a good breakfast.

07:44.733 --> 07:46.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
And breakfast is very important.

07:46.800 --> 07:50.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And they told me to
go Blue Moon Diner.

07:50.866 --> 07:54.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Well here I am, and I
thought that was a very

07:54.133 --> 07:56.966 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
funky looking era building.

07:56.966 --> 07:59.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Kind of a young place
for an old lady.

07:59.466 --> 08:01.033 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
I mean, it's kind of a.

08:01.966 --> 08:04.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Make you happy sort of.

08:04.166 --> 08:07.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Reminds you of a few
years back. (laughs)

08:07.066 --> 08:09.166 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
>>It's one of those places
you can walk in the door

08:09.166 --> 08:11.666 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
and the person behind the bar,
says hey, how're you doing?

08:11.666 --> 08:12.900 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Like they met you before.

08:12.900 --> 08:15.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And you really just
get this sense of,

08:15.766 --> 08:17.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I can just feel
comfortable here.

08:17.233 --> 08:18.066 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%

08:37.166 --> 08:41.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
>>We are a stepping stone
and a comfort builder.

08:41.400 --> 08:44.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%

08:44.800 --> 08:46.233 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
who wanna come play here.

08:46.233 --> 08:48.500 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
Local bands, people coming
through on the road.

08:48.500 --> 08:51.833 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
It is amazing how
quickly I get booked up,

08:51.833 --> 08:54.266 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and for such a small
space, it's special here.

08:54.266 --> 08:55.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
>>You have music
every night, but

08:56.933 --> 08:58.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
there are Jim Waive Wednesdays.

08:58.666 --> 09:00.200 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
>>Jim Waive Wednesdays.

09:00.200 --> 09:01.966 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
>>He is it.

09:01.966 --> 09:04.200 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
>>He really is it.

09:04.200 --> 09:06.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
If you've not seen
Jim Waive play music,

09:06.500 --> 09:08.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
he plays with a
full band, called

09:08.100 --> 09:10.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim Waive and The
Young Divorcees.

09:10.500 --> 09:13.133 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
He is just the house band.

09:13.133 --> 09:16.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Every single Wednesday,
he's here without fail.

09:16.300 --> 09:19.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
I remember once, there
was a traveling group

09:19.333 --> 09:20.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
called The Sweater Set.

09:20.833 --> 09:24.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Beautiful music,
lovely harmonies,
absolutely adored them.

09:24.533 --> 09:27.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
They were only available
on a Wednesday night.

09:27.400 --> 09:29.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
So I'd asked Jim, would
you mind switching.

09:29.966 --> 09:32.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
I'll have you play
the Thursday night,

09:32.033 --> 09:34.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
they'll play on the
Wednesday night.

09:34.533 --> 09:36.566 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
Everyone was upset by this.

09:36.566 --> 09:38.100 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
>>Oh. (laughs)

09:38.100 --> 09:40.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Jim said fine, was very
gracious, very sweet.

09:40.466 --> 09:41.933 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
We switched the night.

09:41.933 --> 09:43.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
People who came on
Wednesday night,

09:43.633 --> 09:45.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
still sat and enjoyed
the Sweater Set,

09:45.500 --> 09:48.066 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
but I got some letters.

09:48.066 --> 09:50.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And people were
very confused over,

09:50.366 --> 09:53.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
wait a minute, it's
Wednesday right?

09:53.033 --> 09:56.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Where's, the habit of he's
always here on Wednesday.

09:56.066 --> 09:58.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
After that, we said, we're
not messing with it anymore.

09:58.400 --> 10:00.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Jim Waive Wednesdays,
that's the one.

Diner were very instrumental

10:21.466 --> 10:25.100 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
in helping to get
CLAW, Charlottesville
Lady Arm Wrestlers--

10:25.100 --> 10:27.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
>>Oh yes, that goes back to
our problem with saying no.

10:27.633 --> 10:29.100 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
(laughing)

10:29.100 --> 10:32.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
>>But you helped this small,
what became a small non-profit,

10:33.666 --> 10:38.166 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
turn into a national
organization that
donates to charity.

10:39.533 --> 10:42.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>Exactly, CLAW is just,
it boggles my mind.

10:42.966 --> 10:46.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
I think it boggles all of
our minds, how that happened

10:46.133 --> 10:47.633 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
and how that took off.

10:47.633 --> 10:49.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
I mean we'll sometimes
sit around and kinda look

10:49.433 --> 10:51.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
at each other and go
through that timeline,

10:51.700 --> 10:54.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and say do you remember
that first year

10:54.500 --> 10:57.366 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
we did them every month?

10:57.366 --> 10:59.133 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
How could we have done that?

10:59.133 --> 11:01.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And now you're going from
in the back room here,

11:01.533 --> 11:06.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
of scrappy, thrown
together, and this we're now

11:06.033 --> 11:09.000 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
exploring bigger venues to
hold it in Charlottesville.

11:09.000 --> 11:11.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
>>Right, it's just gotten
so big, and started here.

11:11.600 --> 11:12.533 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
>>Be able to explore it.

11:12.533 --> 11:13.933 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
We have national tournaments.

11:13.933 --> 11:15.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
There are national
tournaments every two years.

11:15.900 --> 11:19.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And there are 23 other
leagues in the country.

11:19.733 --> 11:22.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And two international
leagues now.

11:22.800 --> 11:25.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
So it just, and
it's become this.

11:25.166 --> 11:29.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
It's a voice for each
community, to express,

11:29.533 --> 11:30.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
whatever need is there.

11:30.833 --> 11:32.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
And it's just been
a crazy wonderful

11:32.433 --> 11:33.966 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
circus at the same time.

11:33.966 --> 11:36.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
>>So you clearly love this gig.

11:36.200 --> 11:38.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Because you told me in
a conversation earlier,

11:38.133 --> 11:39.500 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
how much you love this job.

11:39.500 --> 11:41.400 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Why, tell me why?

11:41.400 --> 11:43.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
>>There's something
about it that,

11:43.266 --> 11:44.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
there's always something
interesting happening.

11:44.233 --> 11:47.500 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
There's always something new.

11:47.500 --> 11:50.866 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
There's something beautiful,
and really important

11:50.866 --> 11:54.233 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
about being able to sit
in a room and encounter

11:54.233 --> 11:57.866 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
someone who has
totally different life
experiences from you.

11:57.866 --> 11:59.133 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
And share a meal.

11:59.133 --> 12:01.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And talk about what's
going on in your world.

12:01.333 --> 12:03.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Every town definitely
needs a diner.

12:04.800 --> 12:06.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
>>It's just a good place to be,

12:06.033 --> 12:07.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
this really is a
good place to be.

12:07.466 --> 12:08.666 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Absolutely.

12:08.666 --> 12:10.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
>>Get in here and start
to meet people here,

12:10.433 --> 12:12.333 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
it feels like a second home.

12:12.333 --> 12:15.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And then it all branches
out into segments

12:15.700 --> 12:18.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of the community, with
the Lady Arm Wrestlers

12:18.166 --> 12:20.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and all these great
things around town

12:20.633 --> 12:23.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that you wouldn't know, started

12:23.133 --> 12:25.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
in a small little
diner like this.

12:26.300 --> 12:28.800 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
(jazzy music)
