In Poor Taste…

July 25, 2010

Note: Edited to remove hastily foul language that was as disrespectful as what I’m complaining about.

Absolutely no disrespect to the several hundred wonderful people who showed up today to walk and pay tribute to the late Marc “Doc” Abrams, Silverlake’s eccentric, legendary, marathon pedestrian, but who thought a radio station’s massive promo SUV/merch tent with skulls painted on it, semi-mandatory wristbands, and souvenir t-shirts were an OK idea?

Using the blog…

THE BANANA BLOG is about the world's most endangered - and dangerous - fruit. THE BIG PARADE is about stairways, route and transit geekery, and pedestrian pursuits in Los Angeles. You can also read all the topics at once, which might also include productivity, geekery, DIY whatever, mountain biking, stuff that I think is funny that nobody else likely will, and other boring, useless crap.

Read and Buy Some Books

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman recommends it. Listen to my interview on NPR's Fresh Air. My own op-ed in the New York Times.
