Overall the experience was pretty cool. I met a couple of Canadians who said they came over from Ontario across the bridge to Canada. They were telling me that they have been going to Harpos for at least 25 years. They said everyone has played there and named quite a few that they went to. Tesla, Run DMC, Kid Rock, Lamb Of God, Wasp, and others. They mentioned things about the club, like it used to have a lit dance floor and giant monitors. I forget other things they told me. They told me they used to come over to America to drink all the time. I don't know if they were telling me the truth or not but they said something about coming over with Canadian money, buying drinks and getting change with American money, and exchanging that when they got back to Canadian currency again and making money out of it. They laughed about coming here to drink and getting money back. Can anyone explain this or let me know it's not possible. I'm skeptical but I don't know. I probably wouldn't go back. 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! (lol)
