We don't send you a PM, you just send me a PM with your answer. :nice: The competition ends at the end of the day tomorrow, the winner will be announced on Wednesday. You'll have to wait just a little while longer!

By the looks of it, I'm only reporting to myself, but I'll do it anyway. :tongue: I went to the first day of the festival (Saturday) mainly to familiarize myself with the layout of the stages and such, since I want to get a good idea of where I want to be on Monday night when Flying Lotus performs. I've been to downtown Detroit, but I haven't actually been to Hart Plaza on the riverfront so it was nice to go there. You get a really nice view of Canada from Hart Plaza. (Eh.) With the type of ticket had, I was able to go to the side/above some of the stages, but unfortunately that didn't apply to the stage that Fly Lo is going to be performing on Monday. Bummer. As I walked to one of the stages, I noticed that one of the performers had just finished their set. He was greeting some of the fans and taking pictures, and passing out some CDs. I didn't go up to him because I had no clue who it was so I would have felt a little weird. According to the schedule, it was likely JPLS. This was the guy onstage after him, still I'm not even sure who this was. I took a "discreet" photo of the crowd just to get a picture of a lady holding a little baby with pink protective earphones on (toward the bottom/middle of the picture). Cute, but... I'm not sure I'd want to bring a baby there. You can also see a boat in the background, there were little boat tour parties that you could go on and they would cruise by the festival. Here's a front and back view of one of the other stages. There wasn't really anyone "performing" at the time, just playing random stuff. And this is the stage that Fly Lo will be performing at on Monday. At this point I was standing all the way in the back, but I could still see the stage, so that's good. But ideally I'm going to try to be on the bottom of the "pyramid" stand on the left. I walked around on that, and although the bottom of it was full, I could tell that would probably be the best view if I'm able to get to it on Monday (other than front row, of course). Crossing my fingers! And I must say, some of the wardrobe choice of the attendees were rather interesting. In the picture above, toward the upper left, there's a guy wearing a full-body black spandex outfit (that includes the head). With some sort of asian teepee hat, not sure what it's called. Quite a few scantily-clad dressed girls with fluorescent fur boots, one girl even dressed as a unicorn, and in the picture below you can see a "blue man" with bright pink shorts. The picture below shows a little area set aside for drunken doodling, there was plenty of colored chalk for people to use. :tongue: I decided to leave before nighttime, and I noticed that the line to get into the festival was longer than when I got there, as you can see below. :sick: Based on that, now I really don't know when I should get there on Monday to try to get a good spot for Fly Lo's performance (keep in mind there will be other performers on that stage throughout the day, so people will be coming and going). And then just for shiggles, here's a couple of random Detroit photos on the corner there, at the intersection of Woodward Avenue.

yay I survived we didn't really get anything horrible

tornado sirens going off right now heading to basement with Kitty wish me luck :uhoh:

^ Over 6 years? Bump of the year. There's an extra copy of the new firefox setup in the recycle bin. *deletes* I'm sure the recycle bin on my work computer is atrocious.

going to the batting cages only to find out that a group of people reserved them for the afternoon :veryangry:

Well, I was going to wait to see if one of the IMAX theaters decides to show it. Do you think that whatever theaters are currently listed, those will be the only ones that will show it, and other theaters won't be added to the list?

Basically the same thing for me. I live 5 minutes from on IMAX, 20 minutes from another, yet the nearest place it is being shown (from what I can see) is about 45 minutes away and it's not IMAX. Mmmmph. (And yes it does make a difference... if you sit in the middle of an IMAX theater it feels like you're really there.)

Oh, you can make custom iPod touch cases? :surprised:

Finding out that the U.S. is one of the few (if not the only) industrialized nations that doesn't require that people receive (at least) 4 weeks of vacation time. See this just adds to the list of reasons why I'd like to live across the pond. :shifty:

Cute (as always). The reflection from the roof makes his hair look really red.

The only thing you need to put in the PM to me is your answer for the two people. :nice:

^ Indeed that schtuff works on anything

"best friend" being a bitch to you * does not compute *

Okay Sara I just read through everything and here was my thought process: Initial reaction: After reading your first post, I thought well if he's doing that to his current GF (looking elsewhere), what makes you think he wouldn't do the same to you? That actually happened to me in high school, a guy told me he wanted to break up with his GF and be with me. Then just a few months later he did the exact same thing to me, he basically started a relationship with another girl to see if the grass was greener on the other side, and then broke up with me. Not the best situation, and I wouldn't want you to go through that. Reaction after reading your other posts: Okay, scratch my initial reaction for the most part. The way you're describing it, it sounds like both of them are just really blah about the current status of their relationship. So if it's truly the best thing for everyone involved.... then cool, congrats, yyyyaaaaayyyyyy happy for you. :nice: Side note though... regarding timing for potentially 'starting' the relationship, i.e., previous summer obligations, will that complicate things at all?

:stunned: Wow, it's kind of creepy that you said this. I had to call the police about an hour ago for the same reason. The cop car came to their house within a couple of minutes, har har hee hee screw them.

Great episode guys!

"It is illegal to let your pig run free in Detroit unless it has a ring in its nose." wut :|

:sick: Seriously?

methinks this thread should get steered back toward the original topic

It's better to not expect anything and be happily surprised when it arrives, instead of expecting something and be disappointed when it doesn't. But that's just my opinion (based on lots of experience).

Sure we might get something on Monday, but I think people are reading too much into it. ''And all the kids they dance all the kids all night until Monday morning feels another life'' Monday morning feeling another life to me is simply expressing how we live different parts of our lives, for example our work life versus free time. Kind of like the sun rising is a brand new day, Monday is a brand new week (this may not make sense for us silly Americans since our calendar week starts on Sunday; across the pond the calendar week starts on Monday). I heard this song on the radio this morning and I think it's a similar way of thinking about the concept: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSQlr2qCEuI&feature=related]YouTube - ‪The Vogues - Five O'Clock World‬‏[/ame]

Some U.S. laws are a steaming pile of poo. Oh, but it's legal in Las Vegas. :shifty:

I'm probably gonna get bashed for this.
