We have some grand openings soon. Russell Bazaar opens Labor Day. Is that the same time as Dally in the Alley? Shopping, (or operating a booth for a few of you/us) followed by a visit to the festivities, will be fun. (Message edited by Sean_of_Detroit on August 20, 2008) | ||

Hamtramck Labor Day Festival is your most interesting, and cheapest bet for Labor Day weekend. For less than $20 you can down a few beers, have some pierogi and take your girl on the ferris wheel, plus see a bunch of great local bands www.hamtramckfestival.org Dally in the Alley is Sept. 6. You can find literally hundreds of events any weekend at http://events.detnews.com -- just type in the date and city and take your pick. | ||

About that Bass Fest.... Brandon Rose is a well behaved ten year old wonder child. He is a ten year old in every way except for the way he plays. I set him up to attend a clinic hosted by Christian McBride. When he got back, I asked him what Christian thought and he struggled to say; "he said I was phenomenal." He didn't even know what the word meant. Keep an eye out for this wonderful child. |
