Saturday.. In Mike's yard.. I think it was the first of July?

Gavin and I traveled to Detroit yesterday morning to visit Mike Propst and his beautiful new wife. They were recently married over in Scotland in a friggin' castle. I'm not sure which, but if I were a betting man, I'd say it wasn't Scotland, and the castle was named Hogwarts. The reception was a lot of fun though and I'm glad we made the hike out. We had to leave the party a little early to get the rental car back on time, but not before checking out the musical stylings of Wally Pleasant. His lyrical genius speaks to me.

We didn't get to check out downtown Detroit.. Maybe next time I guess.. I had it in my mind that every radio station here would be playing Kiss nonstop, maybe a little Alice Cooper to mix things up. Instead, it seemed more like Jamie Collum... That's okay.. It's just... not what I expected.

It does kind of smell here though, which I had always been told, but never really believed. Kathryn says thats part of the charm. Mike Hubbard told me to wash my hands before I leave, because "we don't want it spreading to other cities." Hah.
