Super Bowl week in the D. Excitement is everywhere. Here's a funny story for you guys. I head off for downtown, looking to take some friends of mine to the Taste of Detroit. The weather was perfect, 41 degrees with a little sun in the sky, and Stokie was hungry. Now a couple of years ago at the Super Bowl, I went to the Taste of the NFL event, and it was unbelievable. Tons of gourmet food, fine wine, awesome deserts...the whole works. So I roll into downtown, and I am hungry. We roll up to the Taste of Detroit, and find a tent in the middle of the road with a wide variety of coney dogs, burgers and nachos. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed. But, I ate anyway. Come to find out, the Taste of the NFL is Saturday night. I'll let you know how it turns out.
So, after a few coneys, we hit the town. I must say, Detroit has done it up right for this one. All over downtown, there were amazing ice sculptures, cars and displays everywhere, and some of the best music that I have ever heard. We spent a couple of hours downtown just taking it all in, and i'll tell you what. The D has it's stuff together.
After rolling through town, we hit Greektown Casino to see if my luck would improve, and wouldn't you know it...first spin on the roulette table, we hit our number. That's more like it! On our way out, we hit the Blackjack tables, and ran into Big Ben Roethlisberger. Wished him luck for the big game, and we were off the the FHM Magazine party at Club Envy. No matter who you are, it is always cool to see celebrities and there were some big ones at the FHM Party. Saw Stevie Wonder and Lennox Lewis, the boxer...not to mention a ton of models. Nice ! In fact, the party was so good, that the fire marshal shut us down at midnight for having too many people in the joint. So, off to bed. Tommorrow promises to be even better.
