    Ta-da!

    I just looked at the menu for Chelio's and the prices (food) are fantastic. You would have to at least double those costs up here in Toronto.

    I'm not going to shit on Toronto (at least not on this thread) but there's a reason it's the centre of the universe. Wayne Gretzky charges $22 for a cheeseburger at his restaurant because he knows he can. The people of Detroit don't have as much to offer and for that there are a lot of places in Detroit that are diamonds in the rough.
    If hope can grow from dirt like me ...

    Well I work in Detroit and have attended events for 32 years in Detroit - Wings, Lions, Tigers - a hundred concerts (give or take one). There is a lot to Detroit but like any big city you have to know your place.....

    As for Toronto - I lOVE it and my wife and I decided to get married there coming on 9 years now. Canada is beautiful and we love it :)

    Hit Lafayette Coney Island if you get a chance :)

    Tom, that's a great website with all the Detoit info.

    For those still looking for a hotel, especially Canadians, look into staying in Windsor. Look at a map from Windsor to the venue and you'll be suprised how close it is (3 miles). You can take a cab or a bus across.

    Also, the ball game on Saturday is at 7:05, not 4:05.

    Going to the show... as long as I'm not working beforehand, I'll swing by for sure. Might have some art to donate, too, if interested.

    There are 6 of us from Toronto that will be attending this party, its sounds like its going to be a lot of fun.
    ...and now i rub my eyes, for he has returned
    seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
    for he still smiles...
    and he's still strong
    nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
    and now he's home
    and we're laughing like we always did
    my same old, same old friend...

    Count on 4. Super stoked. Also if anyone has been to the Fox could you tell me which is a better seat F1 ROW EE or GB5 ROW S? The floor seats are off to the left and the balcony is pretty deep. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Counting down the days.

    Please count me in and maybe Lil Dirt (if we can find him a ticket & his health holds up). He's dealing with a bad flare from Crohn's right now : ( & just decided he really wants to go to see you all, if possible. We are also looking to hitch a ride from Western PA or may look into Amtracking it. Open for suggestions. Also would greatly appreciate it if you guys (Tom & Nixon) can suggest some reasonable, clean, safe hotels nearby for us to stay. Please pm me here or FB when you get a chance. Thanks & hope to see all you wonderful crazy people, xo . One of highlights of last year's tour for Chris was that as he puts it, "only Nixon could find a Karaoke bar in some crazy suburb of Cleveland on Detroit Street" LOL! Good times and even better memories <3.

    add me and hubby, mysmallself :)

    Will look around for donations soon.

    I'm glad Michigan Humane Society was picked. I like WAG animal rescue here - http://www.waganimalrescue.com/

    I'm just wondering if there could be more than one benefit? Because I was thinking about THAW (http://www.thawfund.org/about_us/index.html). When hubby was laid off for 1 1/2 years, they helped us a little bit with bills, especially during the winter. They said they were in need of donations... so many people in need of assistance. Just a thought. :)

    Great job on making this happen so fast!

    My friend and I are definitely thinking about showing up...this would be our first pre/post-party and we're coming down from the Toronto area.

    Do we just go right up to the second floor?
    Also, how far is this bar from the Fox Theatre? Can we walk?
    Not to sound cliche, but would it be safe to do so?

    Should be interesting!


    Just walk right in (no cover charge), and head up to the 2nd floor.

    The venue is about 1 block away. IT IS VERY SAFE!!!!! Especially with close to 200 Eddie Vedder fans walking with you :D
