Hotel Hilton Inn Southfield

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

... yesterday) was all about the Detroit show. I could write for ahours about Ticketmaster, paperless tickets, credit cards, debit cards, but let's just say: it could be so much easier... Ah well. For those who understand the pit procedure: around a 1000 wristbands were handed out. They pulled number 590-something, 500 people in the pit, I had number 213. So no change in hell. BTW, in Cleveland I DID make it into the pit. Everytime I think I can't get any closer to ...

... for gifts and souvenirs on the return trip...<br><br>There's a old travel rule of thumb..."Never travel with more than you can run with for a quarter mile."<br><br>Gotta' work on that.<br><br>Thanks to 'Beca, Mark and Layla for their marvelous hospitality! It won't be three years again before we visit. Save the milkweed! Save the Monarchs!<br><br>Adeau America!<br>

... She was doing some sort of non-profit work!" "Me too!" I said. Gave her ten dollar tip. If you visit the Tuba Museum, make sure you don't walk past the big steamroller flattened tuba, set in concrete outside. It's just a whole lot of FLAT! http://www.travelerstuba.com/ We just completed the well-attended NASCO Institute at U of M-Ann Arbor. I had a very good crowd for my "How To Promote the Helloutta' Your Co-op for ...

I am still at home. Only one more week. Being away from my home for three weeks requires a lot of preparation. I even know the movie that are going to have on the Flight. I am tired already!! Since I will be on a plane for almost 24 hours, I am collecting all the necessary stuff needed to be comfortable. <br>

Oh Detroit (or rather Detroit suburbia), how you have saved my Michigan experience! <br><br>I was already excited to travel to "Detroit" because I knew I was going to get to see Anne, my friend from grad school who I haven't seen since we both graduated. Then it just kept getting better and better. She managed to score us tickets to see her boyfriend's new show... and not just any show my friends... Evil Dead: The Musical!!!! I was so excited. We grabbed a quick dinner ...

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal. We're in the middle of a fairground, with a weak WiFi but OK. The only analog TV channels are from Detroit but the Detroit area offers 22 digital channels, many <br><br>Longer day than expected but we grinded the flying condo to a halt. No problem other than a sticking lock on the propane door.

The flight was uneventful. We were in business class and both of us got some sleep! After a champaign welcome, I skimmed the dinner menu and selected the most vegetarian meal I could fine. Actually, there were none, but I found a dish where the meat could be removed conpletely, which of course doubled Brian's portion to his utter delight. Then we slept until 90 minutes before landing, downing a small breakfast of pastries and fresh fruit.

... parking lot. The Motorhome has a gas furnace that warms us up nicely but the fan runs on 12 volts and unless we are hooked up to power or run the genset it chews the battery pretty quick. RV etiquette dictates you don't run generators in these parking lots so we have to go easy on the furnace. Tuesday was fine and as soon as we left Oklahoma City we started to see these billboards ...

... otherwise open ears. They were right; it did. In a prison interview when he was serving time on trumped-up drug charges in 1970, Sinclair recounts that he long had disdain for the guitars that would lead his army. Immersed in Archie Shepp, Sun Ra and John Coltrane, he thought rock 'n' roll had turned silly. It was, of all people, pianist Cecil Taylor who turned Sinclair on to the Beatles' Revolver, which led him to Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, the Mothers ...
