Detroit... but why?

everytime i tell folks i am going to detroit/royal oak to visit my dear friend kristine, they ask "why?" it's simple, to see KRISTINE!

anywho, linda and i took a road trip out to the eastside of michigan. our first night in, kristine took us to greektown/downtown detroit. for once, i think i was too scared to enjoy myself, but thinking about it after the fact, was fun. we ate at fishbone, has bad sushi and delicious calm chowder soup! then stopped over at jacaoby for a beer, and to check out the nightlife of detroit.
Downtown Detroitlive band, they sucked, but there facial expressions were entertaining. too bad the photo doesn't show.

on the 2nd day, we woke up kind of late. we all decided we were going to go to the beach after lunch. linda had forgotten her swimsuit, therefore we stopped by target. then went to the beach! except that it started to rain, so we went to mocad. on our way out there, we got to see the the drastic change of the filthy rich to the run down ghettos.

afterwards, we cooked dinner and it was just enough for kristine to last a week with the amount we (or i) made. then watched kung-fu panda! it was a cute movie and silly movie.
Cooking?

and since it was a saturday night, that means drinking (or at least for me). we drove around the theater to see what was there, but nothing. so we drove out to ferndale and found post bar. post bar is a half sports bar/ dance club. i guess it's the norm. while being there, we played a few games of pool and a couple of foosball. and doing so, we met a few boys... old men. HA! the typical "so what is your name?"... unforgettable henry, suppositly is a half black, hip hop artist, radio personality of detroit. more like a dip-shit whitey looking for some drama. fun times though!
