oh yeah, "carmagedden". since azusa is about 40 miles east of there,
i forgot about it. the closing of the north and sound bound lanes of
one of the busiest freeways (south of the 101 to north of the 10) in
the country for 2 1/2 days, (friday night to monday morning) to tear
down half of the mulholland overcrossing bridge and make it wider.
one of the radio jocks, tim conway, jr., is having a "carmagedden"
party on top of the marriott hotel in the sherman oaks mall to watch
the traffic mess.

jet blue had a special yesterday. $4.00 each way to fly from burbank
to long beach, 15 minute trip. sold out in about 4 hours or less, and
crashed the website.

the next summer, the other side of the bridge is going to be torn down
and the mess will be repeated.
