To all the whiners, Don't care about "the old days"!!: I LOVE THE FAIR!!

I live LA & work in blooming Downtown LA and attend at least 10 days each year. I make a point not to miss the GREAT cover bands and sanctioned artist interpretations from MJ, Prince, to ABBA, Queen and David Bowie.

My Day 1 routine involves ribbon fries covered in cheese sauce. I prepare for it by having tea and a light breakfast & salad for lunch. Day 2 is Funnel Cake. I tend to stay away from the trendy "deep fried (fill in the blank)" items, though. The 18inch corn dog is a new tradition started last year. I'll have to get that on Thursday.

As it is once a year I make a point to enjoy it. The LA Fair is too far and way, way too hot & dusty. Yes it "realer" as the old folks say but parking is expensive and not very well managed.

As I have friends in the OC, the Fair serves a dual purpose of overall fun and time together.
