Tips On Surviving “Carmageddon” From The LAQPs

Now that you all know about “Carmageddon”, here are some tips from the LAQPs to help you survive it:

- Keep up to date on the really bad areas on Sigalert .

- Make sure to have snacks/extra drinks in your car.  Low blood sugar = crankyness!

- You should seriously consider looking into these:  http://www.target.com/26-Wheel-Size-Bikes-Sports/b?ie=UTF8&node=16259321

- Make some beyond jammin traffic mixes.  Burned CDs are NOT “old school.”

- Bring some paper and pens to write other drivers little notes.  Examples could be:  ”Hey!  This really sucks, huh?!”  Or “Maybe we should have listened to everyone and stayed home! LOLZ!”

- Or buy these already made signs:  http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/shtick-driving-signs

- Bring some pillows for your passengers to take a nap.

- Paint your nails!  Be careful with all the fumes from the nailpolish and the car exhaust, though.

- Read some of our favorite blogs!:

Paul McCartney Ruins Lives Sometimes

It’s that time of year again.  The Hollywood Bowl is open and rearing its ugly traffic head!  As most of you know, the commute to and from the Valley in front the Bowl can be a nightmare the night of a show.  And the more popular the performer, the bigger the traffic mess.  Unfortunately, Paul McCartney is the performer kicking off the spring season and traffic was atrocious last night (3/30) and will be tonight as well (3/31).  Make sure to stay as far from Highland Avenue and in front of the Hollywood Bowl as you can.  Unless, you are a crazy person that actually enjoys sitting in traffic for hours.  Trust me folks, last year I got stuck in Neil Diamond traffic for THREE hours.  It’s worth finding the alternate route!  And to keep you from future headaches, always check out the Hollywood Bowl Calendar:

And Sigalert is a great tool for LA traffic:

Also, please note there is a “special event” taking place on Hollywood Blvd. tonight and it’s closed, so that will make traffic even worse!  The 10 never looked so good…

LUV,

Britt
