FOODIE PATOOTIES

TIME SENSITIVE BLOG

{ First of all, please excuse the severe tardiness of my blog. I fell in love with a lady named Paris, France and she requires a lot of my attention. I'm back in LA next week : ) }

There are those that like to eat and there are those that are interested in the growing, distribution, preparation, and of course the ingestion of all things food. Spend a few moments with a foodie and you know you're with one. They can't have cheese without knowing if its cave aged and for how long. It's not a game people; but learning about great food and eating it with another person can add a little healthy adhesive to the bond you're building. Here's a great daytime date for those who may like to hug a carrot before eating it.












Join fellow foodies on August 27 from 9-12noon @ The Santa Monica Place Shopping Center for a breakfast coupled with inspiring culinary demonstrations. With free admission for children under 12 and child-oriented cooking classes. You'll learn about food and eat well. Tickets are $35 per person but if you buy through Bloomspot.com you can buy 1 ticket for $20 or 2 for $35. Discount Tickets are limited.

They Like To Make Stuff Up

Living in LA means you’re lucky enough to have access to the best comedy in the world. Any night of the week you can go see great stand up and improv somewhere around town. If you drive down Franklin, just east of Gower any night of the week you’ll notice a long line of people waiting for something. No, the Scientology Celebrity Center is not giving away free Sprinkles Cupcakes with a side of Pinkberry. Eager comedy lovers are waiting for the next improv show at Upright Citizens Brigade(UCB for folks with comic street cred). They have at least 3 shows a night, everyday of the week and each show is from FREE to $5. You can reserve your tickets through their website. They have a standby line for those brazen enough to try and see a show the night of, but I tried that once and let’s just say you’d have a better chance catching Wynona Ryder shoplifting at The Crenshaw Plaza Mall. Plan ahead and reserve online.

            My favorite show is Facebook . Each week 2 audience members are randomly plucked from the audience to get their FACEBOOK page examined and then turned into long form improvised comedy scenes based entirely on their profile, pictures, comments and status. I was one of the audience members chosen and let me say, it was like being knighted by comedies elite improvisational performers.

             And depending on the show, you never know who might pop up. Past alumni and performers include Aziz Ansari, Patton Oswalt, Doug Benson, Rob Riggle, Zach Galifianakis, & Amy Poehler
