Once upon a time, a Kid Rock show in Detroit was something all my people wanted to go to. It was the cool thing to do, the cool place to be, a good time for all. Now my mom wants to go, my aunt calls for tickets, and my teachers from High School frequent the shows. Once upon a time, he was a devil without a cause, now he is all religous during his shows, making me feel as if he is a zealot without a cause. The lyrics and content used to be on the edge, its what made him who he is, now its pathetic and same ole same ole. Why do I hold on?
Maybe we should originally meet up at the Holiday Inn with Krlo then it would be easier to find all of us. Just a thought?
did anybody check the westin hotel, or the ponchatrain. they might be a lil more than a holiday inn, but if worse comes to worse.........
We're staying at the holiday inn express on Washington, looks like a half mile to Comerica.
im sure you can get a room at the casino, but it might cost ya around $250
@ Rhonda I'd been looking the last few weeks & noticed there weren't any hotel rooms till a few days ago. I then asked my husband if he wanted to get a room, he's like nah I'll be the DD & he didn't want to spend the $$...whatever, then this morning he emails me "do ya think there are any rooms still' I'm like you jackass!! Luckily there was = ) time to party!!!
damn margo, when we booked our room a week or so ago there was nothing available except corktown inn, so i;m a little afraid,lol, I should check with the hilton now,lol
From the description above it says there will be Wrif DJ's at the block party, so I'm assuming there would be a Wrif booth at Comerica also? I just booked a room at the Hilton, there goes my free concert!! I was surprised there were any rooms, anybody else staying there? The check in time says 3 but I'm still gonna try to check in by 2 so I hope to be at the block party by 3 at the latest.
WRIF's website said DJ Meltdown will be at Chelio's place. I wonder if there is going to be another booth in the parking lot. Now where do we meet and what time? I'm aiming to be down there by 2 but a lot depends on the parking situation and will call. I'm heading downtown in about an hour to get my jerseys and will check at will call. Will post again later. ONE DAY!!! DETROIT, BABY !!!!!
WRIF Booth is at Chelios? not one in the Comerica parking lot with the rest of the festivities?
The dogs would howl. I'll leave the singing to the professionals
Somebody better record the ~Kareoke :-)
Heard from a reliable source that WRIF will have another booth beside the one at Chelios. Just go an email from Olympia Entertainment that they have released more seats. It says gates for the Block party open at 2pm on Friday maybe the other booth is at the block party section. I think I need to make a sign also. Will let everyone know after work on Thurs.
I hope to be down there by 2 video. Name the time. Going down there Thursday to get my jersey and see if I can get my tickets, too. We'll see.
KRLO thank you so much for the info.
I will be wearing a I LOVE JUSTIN BEIBER SHIRT----NOT (lol)
I can do that, my daughter is a whiz at signs, maybe I'll make her make me one. I'll be KRLO.
@420 I would look into it, we paid between 30 and 40 for parking on opening day this year, plus we were pretty far away. Last fall our HS was in the championship and we paid 20 bucks to park, (for High School football?) We have a hotel reserved and we are still paying $18.00 for parking, plus the Lions play that night but a lot of Lions fans will be coming down early, that's why Ford Field parking will be closed. That may put parking fees at a premium. The D regulates everything, wish they would look into parking, but I guess they have bigger fish to fry.
Darn, Margo, I thought I'd be the only one downtown with a KR shirt on. I'm short and brunette.
signs, perhaps? RSMS in big letters? IDK
I was thinking about purchasing the parking passes before they sold out. Does anybody know where the best place to park is. easy in, easy out. ( if there is such a thing) They offer fox garage, tiger garage, and lot Y. Or am i better off finding a place on the streets somewhere? Thank you
I know in '09 Chelio's was crazy busy. I was thinking the same thing...I'll be the blond wearing a Kid Rock t-shirt lol, least you have some idea what I look like I guess ;)
Yipes, Chelio's will be crazy, it was for Tiger's opening day. How will we find each other? Just wanted to let you know, I'll be the one with the Kid Rock t-shirt on LOL! Doug FM is broadcasting at Old Shelleileigh, or however it's spelled. Looking forward to putting names to faces.
video, the wrif booth is going to be at Chelio's
Time to party in the D!!!
That's ok too!
the only music i can bring are my lips to whistle lol dont have anything on tape cd that i would play for anybody
Tony bring some of your music
wrif booth, but dont know what time you all are gonna be down there. you guys tell me
I'll be there Friday with my husband hopefully by 2, having some sitter issues....looks like we're gonna have 3 different sets of people watching my boys that day & evening, ugh!!! It sounds like all you guys will be hanging at the Wrif booth? sounds cool, I'd like to meet everyone. Hope to see ya'll = )
You name the place as I have Friday off, my son and his wife and two grandkids will be down later in the afternoon after he gets off work. Mrs Cedar and Margo how about you. KRCVal guess we wait til take off on the 26th wish you could be with us. See you all on Friday!
Stole my thunder RSMS, love the island and the fudge. We went one year, took Sheplers across from Mackinaw City, real foggy in the morning, all of a sudden a huge freighter appeared. Scared the crap out of me. Does anyone remember the girl driving a Yugo, it happened in November back in the 80's. It was super windy and the wind picked the car up and it fell to the straits. They couldn't locate the car until Spring the next year, and it was perched on a ledge about ready to fall into the deepest part of the straits. Glad her parents could bury her, but what a horrifying death. Mackinac Bridge Authority drastically changed their rules for driving in wind after that. Still love driving the Bridge though. Has anyone watched the Dirty Jobs (on Discovery) where Mike Rowe paints the bridge, changes light bulbs etc. He said in an interview that was one of his favorites. The Bridge Authority let him do some of their most dangerous jobs, cool episode. He also said he loves the Island and has been back for a few visits.
Enjoy the fudge KRCVAL-chocolate pecan is my favorite. As my dad call's it, Male Fudge, cuz it has nuts!
I wish I could be there to meet all of you!! Another time, another place....I'll be toasting y'all on Mackinac Island tho...
