Oh Yes it was the weekend

this week end was a begin of 1st I hope my opening message last night did not throw off track becaue I post it as may 8th for a week and a half but I jump to see if anyone notice I spend four hours typing the post last night while listen to Little Steven Underground Garage on the web and trying to to spend less time on the computer but I was following live sport stats but was not spending to much time with the new weekend edtions of the news and free press, so look around the internet and looking at audio and video so I am doing is keeping a journal of what going on in Detroit culture city, but I was kind of a drag on missing Pretty girls makes Graves at the stick there borough along a very good band giant Drag, so that mean PGMG is still on the list of best live bands I have not seen live, and who know the lead singer of giant Drag who is pretty but have a pottey month so that could be good in a way, and beside I on assingment next for a show at the stick anyway

First impression on the new Saturday papers

Well this weekend for the 1st time in 17 year The Detroit News and The Detroit Free Press where not one paper but were there papers, you see as past of last year deal that saw both paper change owners I mean they would end their combine weekend edtions so there is a Saturday News and a Saturday free press on Saturday and only one paper on a Sunday that will belong to the Free Press, my 1st impression was ok they still have the news, sport, and but I know it just the 1st issued I was not impress at the Saturday feather section (News My Saturday and Free Press Saturday life) I focus more on stuff all the indie kids would not be insert but one whole paper controing Sunday reading I know about that but they have a sport and enterament section I like but still why down grade the TV guide but it only week one.

(Note: Next Week the Free Press will list the top theater pros will be nomation for the free press theater awards it going to be the freep Press in print and on-line but will be rehash on this blog sight)
