How we ended up with that "not so fresh" feeling

A couple of weeks ago, I called up Jeff in a panic. We had finally set a date for our east coast road trip and booked the plane tickets home, but we'd totally forgotten to do the most important part...come up with a title for this blog.

I was in such a fevered state of panic that I couldn't come up with a single good idea.

How could there be a road trip without a snappy blog name? What were we going to do? Had we lost our magic touch? Would we even remember how to blog?

Jeff eventually managed to calm me down. And so, we began the whole blog title brainstorming process.

Many bad blog titles died in the process, including:

"Carjoy 2008 : Road Trip Harder"
"You're a Road Trip Blog!"
"Not Another Road Trip Blog"
"This Ain't No Road Trip!"
"America's Next Top Road Trip"
"Project EastGay"
"Jeff and Jon Don't Go to White Castle"
"Someone Pooped in our road trip blog"
"America's Got Road Trip"
"I Married a Road Trip Blog"
"Eaststruck"
"The Bitches of Eastwick"

In the end, we came up with a few decent ideas. And by decent, I mean terrible. And by terrible, I mean amazing.

The first frontrunner was "East Side Story."



Then came "Greatest American Road Trip : Get in the Car!"



But in the end, we went with "East Infection."



Because, after all, who doesn't love a good inflammation?
