From the look of the locatiton at the western edge of Corktown look like the middle of nowhere begin held at big brick bliuding just off michigan ave. is a far cry from the St. andrew hall and the Magic stick, but will a movie that start in Wanye Country
and travel all the way down to to mississippi in a long staged tale of a lost relationship with a grandfather who look like iggy pop and with a good mix of rock and blues you see why the buliding which also home of Corktown Press was the home for the premerie of a movie which was 11 years in the making made it detroit rock city premiere.

It was a two trier event, one was the showing of the movie which was made all the way back in 1995 and finsh nearly five years later it was good look back at old detroit before Comerica Park and ford field and compware. the film follow penny (who is play by Kasia, who told me this was a one time acting gig)who run away from wanye Country with his boyfriend (Christopher Gilpatrick) on a long trek down south to find her grandfather who he have not see since as a kid, but trouble get started when there motorcycle get hoodwink by gang lead by Fish Fly (Play by the late Cub Koda) with help by June Bug (Sandra "Kramer" Shaw, who also barberella in Hamtramck)and Boll Weevil's (Bill Peitsch), stuck and tied up they are spoted by a passer by name Jim (Geoff Burrows) who going in the same direction for his own reasons pick up the pair to countuie on there journay to see penny grandfather.
