Although I occasionally despair for Detroit, it's a city that offers many cultural events to its residents. Last night, we had dinner at a Japanese-Korean restaurant with a mostly young Asian crowd, students from the College for Creative Studies, we then walked across the street and saw a sweet, Italian film Mid-August Lunch with an older crowd-many Italian-Americans among them at the Detroit Film Theater, then walked upstairs and saw a Afro-Cuban concert with a younger crowd of mostly African-Americans.
All of this took place with a block and within three hours. Nice to have this available.

How was Friday night in your town?

A Friday night in Brooklyn: I cleaned my apartment, saw a friend give a solo organ drone/tape loop performance, then ate reheated Papa Johns and went to sleep early (midnight).
Any Friday night with a live music performance ranks high with me. Although organs are my least favorite instrument. And being in Brooklyn itself is fun.
Big nothing. There's nothing here.
HELP!
You need to move out here. You can have my third floor: two bedrooms, a bathroom and a large hallway. We'll put in a kitchen.
Not good enough to keep me in Columbus. I went to Dayton for the evening.
Cullen you should have come to the Nokia Theater in Times Square; we saw the Rock Bottom Remainders perform very entertainingly in their latest literacy benefit tour.
You haven't lived until you see Amy Tan in her leather dominatrix outfit (complete with whip) do "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and threaten to use the whip on the likes of Roy Blount, Jr., Dave Barry, Mitch Albom, Greg Iles, Ridley Pearson and Scott Turow.

PS - Hi, Sandra! You should have come in for the concert.
