Special Lecture with Alton Brown

Alton Brown Television personality and self-proclaimed "food explorer" Alton Brown will present a special lecture at the Museum of Science and Industry that addresses the basic connection between the foods we eat and the scientific principles that govern them. Alton Brown is most popularly known as the host and creator of the show “Good Eats” and the host of “Iron Chef America,” both of which air on the Food Network. This event is just one of the many special events being held in conjunction with the Museum’s year-long 75th Anniversary celebration.

The one-hour lecture will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 15 in the Museum’s auditorium, and a 30-minute Q & A will follow. Alton Brown will also meet and sign books (one per guest) for audience members until 2:30 p.m. Light snacks and beverages will be served during the book signing.

I am so there.

Over the past couple weeks there have been all sorts of sports journalists covering the man-crush phenomenon that men seem to have for Patriot's quarterback Tom Brady. Personally, I don't get the attraction.

However, when you say, "Alton Brown" I giggle like a schoolgirl. Can't wait...

I may not be his biggest fan (perhaps the tallest), but I definitely want to go....

But I'm nervous that Mike will be giggling like a schoolgirl, it could be an uncomfortable scene.

Thanks for the info.

Anyone have any ideas on where I can get my hands on some tickets? The event is sold out. I tried craigslist, ebay, and stubhub. Nothin...
