Huh. I just read that Wiki. Didn't realize that the "holiday" was so localized. We had a Saunders candy store next to the high school and all around Detroit. Used to make a mad dash to that store at lunch as it was an open hour.
Man, what I wouldn't give for some "buttons" now. Not the ones I see prepackaged but the originals. Bought 'em by the foot!
Wow....how things have changed. Even looking for an image only generates THIS prepackaged garbage! www.amazon.com/BUTTONS-Necco-twenty-2-strip-strips/dp/B000FNB7UO

Today I went to the Dollar Tree to buy a birthday card. Right next to the birthday cards was a section filled with "Sweetest Day" cards. Is this "Sweetest Day" a new holiday or something? 'Cause I've never heard of it. And judging from the red and pink that's all over these cards, it looks like another Valentines Day. Can anyone confirm?

My mother always used to give me candy on Sweetest Day. Has ever since I was a kid.
Hey, I never questioned it.

I think that Dont go was someones attempt to turn them into a pop band. if that single had taken off I bet there would have been a change of direction., thankfully it didnt and we got SFV
the biggest blunder?
Probably the reunion timeline. Rob comes back in 03/04. album 05. AOR a good solid metal album. not a game changer, but decent. then wait 3 years, put out an album that was contraversial. why the wait. then we go now 5 years, with just ocasional talk of an album. 5 years between albums is not what relevant bands do.
either that or the biggest blunder was rob leaving to begin with. they went 6 years between albums then, could have figued out his solo shit and had him back in time for jugulator (or whatever it would have been)

Back into training again and I ran to Nostra 1. No secret that I am on the side that liked the album. However, why the HELL did they make a video out of WAR?!?! FFS! Persecution! Why push "Prophecy?" While not a bad tune by any means but nobody that isn't a true JP fan knows its name. Push NOSTRA itself!!!! DAMN! Nothing makes me push a run farther (and also question the "Curbishley" management). SO many dropped balls (American football reference...keep your minds out of the gutter!) it isn't funny.
I'll try to curb the rant that is waiting to come out. Very difficult. Baxtergate? Not a word anywhere I have looked. Last comment: AAAAAARGH!!!!! 'Nuff said.

Admit it. You killed "Eggert" didn't you, laughing boy? Things get a little too hot for you? Develop a conscience and decided to give up that ruse?
Karma is a bitch, dude.

Very cool theater and very nice area. Even if you can't get to a show, see if you can get a look in the theater.
Want something WAY off the beaten path that only real Detroiters know? Take a spin through Heidelberg. Again, take their warnings VERY seriously (read how to get there and see more pix on the site below) and don't wander a street away in any direction but DO get out and take all the pix you want. You'll find cameras a lot more expensive than yours out without fear. www.heidelberg.org/
Where else would you see something like THIS? All of two blocks. Be sure to walk around the BACK of the houses. Really impressive. Wiki it and you'll learn more. Sign the lady's house at the end of the block for a buck! Kewl.

I was checking out The Fox Theatre. That place looks cool as hell. Love the decor. On Nov. 3 they have "100 Years Of Broadway". Not for me but my wife loves that stuff. We went to a couple of shows on cruise ships and she had a blast. She taught dance for 15 years so it's kind of her thing. Her Birthday is that week so maybe I'll see if I can get tickets and surprise her. Mushroomhead on Saturday and 100 Years Of Broadway on Sunday. Now if that isn't a contrast in taste I don't know what is. (lol). Maybe do the riverwalk early in the day. Thanks for the suggestions.(again)(lol)

...not trying to go on and on here but I was checking out 100 Years Of Broadway and there is no way I could sit through that. I'll go through your suggestions and look online. I'll figure it out. I really liked the look of that theatre though and thought that would be cool. I've been to Detroit before I just didn't search out anything to do. Went to Cobo Hall to watch Ultimate Fighting and stayed at the Renaissance Center and checked out the Detroit Zoo the day after a Priest show(DTE) but that's it.
