A Local Music Festival and Documentary Film Night...

Blowout, the (First) Morning After
It’s a ritual to Detroit music scene loyalists and so hip it hurts to those who are “over it,” but after the first night of the Blowout, my conclusion is that the music is totally worth wading through the colorful half-shaved haircuts to get a drink at the bar, then elbowing your way to the front. I just pray they never raise the $20 weekend pass fee. On top of that,...

My glimpse into my first Dally in the Alley was the ultimate teaser. The weather was warm, the crowd was peppered with those cool cats you so seldom see at house parties or Fourth St. bonfires. Beer was plentiful and food vendors were delicious (still over-priced and available only after a long wait in line). I had to work at 8 pm that fateful Saturday that my friends and I went to the...
