Win Tickets for Rufus Wainwright This Sunday!
This Sunday, September 23 at 7:00 p.m., it's Rufus Wainwright Sings Judy Garland night at the Hollywood Bowl.
Following his acclaimed 2006 tribute to Judy Garland's 1961 Carnegie Hall concert, Rufus Wainwright will be performing that famous set at the Hollywood Bowl with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and a handpicked quartet paying tribute to Judy's famous follow-up show at the landmark venue in Los Angeles.
And you can be there too! To win a pair of tickets, all you have to do is leave a registered comment saying what your favorite picnic foods for the Hollywood Bowl are. Personally, crackers with an array of olive tapenade, hummus and brie cheese followed by fresh fruit and topped off with red wine is our way. But you might have a different take.
The contest ends by the end of today. So get commenting!

Ok, I know this isn't DC (dietary correct), but I'm all about the fried chicken, potato salad and corn bread! Beer or wine, depending on the mood.

Ok, I'm all about fruit....so fruit salads and fruit kabobs galore. Sparkling cider and water top it off nicely. Is it lunch time already?

Mine would be figs and goat cheese rolled in prosciutto; cave-aged Gruyere and crackers; dried figs stewed in rum and cinnamon; and a decent bottle of red wine. And next time I won't forget the prosciutto rolls in the fridge, either.

My favorite has been a caprese sandwich from Bay Cities in Santa Monica, grapes and something bubbly.
A nice brie with bread/crackers is always great to start and anything sweet is a good way to top it all off.

I have a cooler bag that holds 30 cans of beer. Wine is good too but, come on 30 cans of beer always wins. Just that and a roll of fresh french bread. Obviously, then a Super Taco stop on the way home...

The Westside Club from Whole Foods, a killer sandwich. Order without onions if you don't like onions, freak. A bottle of red wine to go with it (Mirasou label, around 9 dollars), but it's important to bring a picnic basket or something to hold the wine in when the show starts because nothing is more annoying than the sound of wine bottles falling and rolling around after the show starts. This will happen but at least you won't be contributing to it. No appetizers, because you need to leave room for dessert and it's too many little bits if you're eating in a box or in a row. For dessert, something precious and special and small and chocolate, like the great desserts from Jinn's Patisserie in Venice.

Anything that has involved the Magic Bullet Blender (TM) in any way, shape or form. That thing is amazing! I recommend the guac.

barbituates, hard-boiled eggs and dom perignon. this was marilyn monroe's favorite picnic combo. it causes the most horrid farts, which can be used to ones advantage in the event of any obstructed views.
