Here's hoping that everyone in attendance has a great time! And for those of us who attempt to follow along at home, let's hope Detroit's cell phone service has plenty of bandwith for our periscopers! If I'm not mistaken, I think some of "IORR's Finest" will be in attendance tonight and, technology willing, those of us at home could have a better experience than last week!

Thanks in advance to all attendees who share their experiences with those of us at home!

Peace,
Mr DJA

Once again, I love the poster (and shirt). really well done. Detroit, MN. Indy, FLA. Nice stuff (other than the sports-themed stuff, which I hate, but I understand, some people like scotch, some bourbon, and every dollar counts).

Agreed with most... I like that Detroit shirt/poster for what I think are the automobile references but it also looks a bit like the Detroit Red Wings logo which, as a Bruins fan, I can do without!

One question though: Can someone local or with knowledge of Detroit explain the "tiger skin" pattern being used on the rally towels? I know the Detroit baseball team is the Tigers but have never really seen the team use much along the way of the actual tiger skin design in their team "stuff". To me that tiger print on the towel seems to look much more like a reference to the Cincinnati Bengals football team.

Yeah I've never seen the tiger skin pattern much exploited by the Detroit Tigers but have seen full on tiger heads used in their merch. I'm surprised they didn't just use a tiger head with a Stones tongue but maybe they are a bit conservative now in light of probably having to pay out after the recent copyright infringement claims.

Here's another sample from their official website [detroit.tigers.mlb.com] :

Thanks for doing the addition research Naturalust and Irix! Hopefully the "Detroit locals" are seeing the tiger print as a local reference more so than some of us sitting at home (at least I know that NL & I aren't local to Detroit, maybe Irix is, I'm not sure).

Apologies for the side trip into "local merchandise discussionville". Back to looking forward to the show!

Peace,
Mr DJA

Any info on LD pickups? Never got the email with the LD info specific to this show like I did for Columbus...

My pleasure! I have the FOCS-Ticket too for each Show on this Tour - Front of Computer Screen .... at the moment I'm 4230 miles away from Detroit.

From [en.wikipedia.org] : "The Detroit Tigers are a Major League Baseball team based in Detroit, Michigan. The team currently plays its home games at Comerica Park in Downtown Detroit."

LOVE IT!!! "FOCS-Tickets" That's great! I suddenly feel so close... I'm only 514 miles away now but by showtime I'll be home and 540 miles away. Planning on enjoying my FOCS seat with some good whiskey!

And I'll still be envious of all who are actually in the stadium! Hope EVERYONE has a great time tonight!

Peace,
Mr DJA

I love that FOCS-Ticket.

Unfortunately haven't got one tonight , but will look on IORR tomorrow morning sometime here in Spain.
Been 41C and very sunny and hot here today,so pretty tired now with the heat and stuff to do etc.

Will be in bed within an hour.

Have a great night.

Tickets prices remain steady so probably selling
well. We expect 40k.
