That woud have been quite a while ago, but our dollar at one point was worth 60 cents US. so, you would need a shitload of change to turn a profit if someone took it at par. smaller places that used to happen and was a big draw. now our dollar is almost worth the same as yours so the benefit of crossing the boarder is only seeing more bands I guess. oh and weaker beer.

Any big shows with no parking would freak me out up there. I've been in the City at night, Miami, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and a few others but this had a different vibe to it. Then I read today about Detroit getting a white mayor for the first time in decades and one of his first issues is dealing with how dangerous and violent Detroit is. I got in, I got out, I'm good!

HAAAAA!!!! You KNOW Harpos! I know the exact market you did your "Detroit turn" on and glad you found the parking lot. Look at my 'vacation pics' and you'll see that I spun around in the same lot.
As I said before, I park on the street but RUN! Never had a problem (knock on wood).
Mecca of metal, mon ami. Glad you survived! Of course, I'd be glad to see any photos you want to share.

I may have just left if I would have had to park anywhere else. I was amazed at how big the inside is once you get inside. That floor though (in my mind) sucks. Raise your hands all the way above your head and your wrists hit the stage. I got a spot at the rail above the floor to the right side. Perfect view and I got some great videos. I may post one for you just because of where it is from. I have a cool pic from outside I'll post when I get it to my computer. That was my 19th MRH show and sixth this year. I may get one more chance this year, depends on the weather. Their Xmas show is next month. I may skip it though. 6 times in one year is good I guess.(lol) Take care.

a couple of corrections. I said on ramp and meant overpasses and I said to the right of the stage and it was to the left.

Well, I sure have been busy! Fall is here and is the busy time for the chimney sweep. Hell, I've had three of my "climbing boys" stuck in as many flues this month alone!
Hell of a time getting them out of there. If only those six-year-olds would pay closer attention to their training.
