Somerville ticketed and towed a bunch of cars last week for violating a snow emergency that was missing the snow. After a storm of protest, the mayor agreed to have the tickets waived -- not before scolding his constituents.

Today's Boston Globe has my reply to Mayor Curtatone.

Globe scoops! Peter Demarco has a wonderful piece about our historic drive in today's Sunday Globe. Unfortunately Laurie Swope's great photo is not available online! I'll try to get a copy from Laurie.

The rest of the news media, with the exception of the WB, missed the boat on this. Alas poor Ergas, I knew her well...

Stefan and I made history once again as we were the absolute last car to ride on the old elevated 93 highway this morning. It was a surreal, yet jubilant experience - I actually shed tears as I waved goodbye to the city!

The news organizations missed the boat with this, though we had the venerable Pete Demarco writing for the Boston Globe embedded with us, along with Laurie Swope, who shot the great photo below for the great story in today's Boston Globe.

We taped an interview with WB56 and I've offered them an exclusive of the video footage we shot - so that may air on the 10 o'clock news tonight.

I'll try to get my smoking gun video footage on this site shortly!

"Final Flight" media coverage begins!

We'll be doing an interview on Weekend Edition tomorrow morning (Saturday), moments before we make history.

And on Monday morning we will return triumphantly to the Matty in the Morning show on Kiss 108-FM at approximately 8:10 a.m.

Believe it or not -- a site update!

I've been making the transition to OS X and figured it was a good way to celebrate the fact that I didn't lose all of my data, passwords, ftp addresses and such.

I've rotated the Three Abreast archive, highlighting 'Couple O' Cousins'. Be sure to check out the Frisbeementary -- when the Comedy Extender came dangerously close to overwhelming the content it was referenced from!
