LEAST FAVORITE PLACES I’VE BEEN TO<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yesterday, I listed my favorite places. (Here’s the link, in case you’re curious, but too lazy to click back: www.itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/2012\/07\/31\/list-favorite-places-ive-been-to-not-counting-ny-and-la<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Today, I’m listing my least <\/em>favorite ones, and that designation is being kind. I actually really just about hate all of these, for various reasons, some of which I’ve included.<\/p>\n

Again, they’re in the order that they popped into my mind, but the first really is<\/em> the worst!<\/p>\n

[Note: please don’t hate me if you live in any of these places. It’s just my experiences.]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tampa!<\/strong>–I spent a week here playing in a celebrity softball game in Tampa Stadium. (The game itself didn’t take a week; the surrounding festivities did!)\u00a0That<\/em> part was fun, but the horrible heat, and the feeling that we were in hell and were never getting out, made me never want to return. So far, so good.<\/p>\n

Miami<\/strong>\u2014I can’t control my hair here. I look like Perpetual Monica in the Caribbean! And the whole town is just kind-of creepy. I always feel like a crime is about to happen. [Note: I hadn’t even realized that the first two places I thought of are in Florida!!! Good thing I forgot to write down Winter Park, Gainesville, and Orlando!!!]<\/p>\n

San Francisco<\/strong>\u2014I know that people think I’m nuts about this one, but I’ve just never had a good time here. Ever!<\/p>\n

This is a picture of, literally, motorcycles in Sacramento!<\/p><\/div>\n

Sacramento<\/strong>\u2014spending time here was the first time that I noticed differences in the ways of life of others. Perhaps it’s just because I was hanging with a motorcycle gang, and all the girls were teen-agers with babies, but it finally just dawned on me that perhaps I don’t belong everywhere.<\/p>\n

Sausalito<\/strong>\u2014this one has the same starting point as the one above, but here it’s almost the opposite manifestation of it; it’s the phony people who seem like they feel superior <\/em>that get me here. [Note: Just like with Florida above, I hadn’t realized that I dislike so much of Northen California! It’s a shock even to me<\/em>!]<\/p>\n

Baltimore<\/strong>\u2014I did a talk show here once and I couldn’t get out of town fast enough. I didn’t even change into my travel clothes. Nor grab any Craft Services on the way out! That’s telling you something, sister! The whole twenty-four hours was horrible.<\/p>\n

Tijuana--crowded and scary.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tijuana<\/strong>\u2014a place I feel I can’t escape from when I’m there. Scary.<\/p>\n

Chicago<\/strong>\u2014another place that I just never had a good time.<\/p>\n

London<\/strong>–only because of my weird experiences there, like staying with one of Elton John’s roadies, named Booby, whose sheets were gray! (They started out in life as white.) Otherwise, I think I’d love it. [See yesterday’s reason for wanting to love it in the column you can click on from the top of this one.] [I think I made that sound so much more complicated than it is!!!]<\/p>\n

Okay, how many of you did I offend, by accident? Please let me know so I can apologize. I mean it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
