Monday Poll and Getting Set to see Alton Brown in Person

Monday poll time!  Yeah, it's 9:30 at night; was a little busy painting and doing laundry today...

Of all the votes last week only 2 of you follow Iron Chef America for your exclusive Alton Brown fix.  The rest were split between both show and Good Eats exclusively.

On to this week's poll!  I finally have the opportunity to see Alton brown in person this week as he gives a lecture at Oakland University.  As an alumni, I scored a ticket for $5 and my toiddler gets in free.  This got me thinking about how much would I pay to see Alton?  Or even, how much would I pay for a meet and greet session.  While I mull this over I'll put the question to y'all in this week's poll.

How much would you pay to meet Alton Brown at one of his lectures/performances?

Nothing. AB jumped the shark a long time ago.

Despite the fact that I will be seeing AB for the low price of $5 plus gas usage, I would have definitely considered higher amounts. If I were close enough, I would've paid the high end for the 10th anniversary live show.

My husband and I are seeing him tomorrow as well! However, our tickets were free of charge because we are OU students. Make sure to get to campus early; the doors open at 6:15pm but AB is officially sold out. We've had scalpers on campus all day.

Seriously?! Scalpers at an Alton Brown lecture? I was figuring it would be mostly students, since that's mainly the intention. Of course, AB hasn't bothered to come to the Detroit Metro area...

I just hope my toddler can have fun long enough; that's the real challenge!

Most of the events I've attended included other 'bonus' things, so its hard to say what I've actually paid to see and meet AB.

I will say, whatever the price he is great with meeting his fans. He takes the time to talk with you, give a handshake and a greeting. It always a great experience!
