Moogfest is a celebration of the classic Moog synthesizer and the music it helped create. Even if you don’t know the Moog by name, you know its sound.

Where else could you do this but in the good ole USA?

Could this end the drunken caravan through the high desert forever? In 2011, the “X” train will have party-goers traveling from LA to Vegas in a considerably safer way.

Is there anybody out there? Yes. Late 2010.

You’re thinking, escape to Detroit?. If you’re a car fan or history buff it should be on your list. Ford’s Rouge Factory Tour gives visitors an up-close look at the operations of a real, working auto plant. Upon completion in 1928, the Rouge was the largest manufacturing facility in the world.

To enhance your Detroit experience, pair with the Woodward Dream Cruise – a bacchanalian event for gear heads – and a day at the Henry Ford Museum. The Motor City lives on!
Any day of the week, you can grab a map of the stars and tour Beverly Hills, but for something a little edgier – try South Central. Unless you have dope street skills (and even then it’s not a good idea), I wouldn’t cruise through alone. Welcome, LA Gang Tour. Board a charter bus for a first hand look at the neighborhoods that spawned the most dangerous gang territory in America. Your tour guide has plenty of inner-city experience and will immerse you in this forbidden culture. Luckily, a cease fire agreement was made by the tour’s creator; however, you still must sign a waiver relinquishing responsibility should you get caught in cross-fire.
