A good "just because" read for you this evening...
Okay, so here's my first update about being car-free...
Last night I returned a car to the airport and took the bus home. Instead of the flyaway ($10) I decided to try the Culver City Bus and transfer to the Metro bus home. The trip cost $1.40 total and took about 80 minutes. I spent the time watching Boardwalk Empire and Breaking Bad on my iPad, something I normally would've sat on my couch to do.
During the trip, only one commuter spoke to me... I sat alone on a bench and was startled when a guy tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was taking the same bus as him. I responded no, feeling totally paranoid (I was sitting alone at the depot at 9:30pm), wondering what question was coming next. And then he said, "You look cold so I just wanted to offer you my jacket for a while if you wanted it."
Best part about going carfree today: being reminded that there ARE really good people out there.

Don’t know what to do or what to say except I'm prolly gonna go home, open a can of Bud Light, enjoy it and then order my fave JJ sub delivered to me at my house in Champaign, Ill. Life is good, God Bless America and Free enterprise Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks JJ fans, you’ve made my life great, created almost 100,000 jobs in America and I graduated last in my high school class, what a country!

Check-Out these fun facts (and clever promo) of Alton Brown's upcoming appearance in
Things we like about Alton Brown:
1) He served as the cinematographer for the R.E.M.'s "The One I Love" music video. (It was probably just a prop to occupy his time.)
2) He didn't much care for the quality of cooking television shows so he created his own, Good Eats, which ran from 1999-2012. (We may or may not have been a HUGE fan of that show and might still record old episodes.)
3) He has appeared on SpongeBob Squarepants, the Atlanta episode of Anthony Bourdain's TV show, The Layover and Mythbusters (By the way, the Mythbusters will be performing at the Fox on 8/30. See how we just snuck that in there without anyone noticing?)
4) Alton used to have a pet iguana named Spike. (Iguana know what love is.)
Alton Brown's live stage show plays the Fox this February. The show is a gluttonous buffet of comedy, food experimentation, live music and antics. That's right, for the first time we are promising you Antics! Visit www.FoxAtltix.com for more information.
