The Food Groupie: Alton Brown

Me & AB last year at his Good Eats 2 book signing

Last night I was publicly shamed by one Mr. Alton Brown.

Now that I'm not in shock anymore...it was kind of awesome - and completely deserved.

In case you don't already know, I'm kind of a total AB groupie. I discovered "Good Eats" sometime in college during a finals week and was hooked by his wit and food smarts. I watched him religiously every night at 10 p.m., devoured every episode of "Feasting on Asphalt" ever made, and own all his books.

Which is precisely why I was shamed last night.

The Guest Groupie: Death Cab for Cutie at Verizon Wireless Theater

I'll admit it - I've been falling down on the job lately with the blog posts. Not for the lack of shows, but rather the lack of energy. I think a revamp of...everything is coming with 2012. Until then, it may be a bit quiet around The Good Groupie.

Thankfully, though, I've found a few friends willing to write about their adventures. My favorite concert buddy Angela returns to the Guest Groupie spotlight with this review of Death Cab for Cutie. 

Hello blog world! The Guest Groupie is back with another installment of musical-review goodness for your reading pleasure. I’ll start this post by letting you know that up until just a few short months ago, I used to give bonus cool points to bands if Death Cab for Cutie was played on their Pandora station.  Death Cab has always been one of those bands that I could pop on one of their albums for a long car trip and LITERALLY listen to it 20 times in a row and not get sick of it. They’re one of those bands whose music completely engulfs me when I listen. So when they FINALLY announced an American tour and Houston was one of their stops in Texas, I was all in.
