..how do i describe Cafe D'Mongo

Let's pretend i'm posting this March 15th, and i'm on time with all my following posts...
Cafe D'Mongo Speakeasy is this amazing jewel in Detroit, which actually, i think all the great places in Detroit are that much better because it is in the D, and there's something about it, stuff that isn't just there for marketing...seeing how marketers don't try to target the Detroit audience...which explains the growth of Applebees across the country...and the lack of Starbucks in Detroit (5 or 4 i think...) photos never due the place justice, but i really can't resist, especially when the SEEDS group is in town...oh! and CDM is only open on Fridays..

Dirty Show Prep

You can't take photos in the Dirty Show, so we just took a few before...photos featuring artist Melonie, Todd the amazing farmer/potterer/belly dancer, Kristee the beautiful and me, just trying to keep my dress from ripping, with little success...

Silly thing that lil camera does @ Firehouse #1

So after working a 14+ hour day, and before sleeping 3 hours to hit the road again for another 10+ hour day at the North American International Auto Show, we eat, drink (and drink) and be merry at the Firehouse, a rented out fire station across the street from Cobo...After shooting a series of car unveilings and press conferences, i was eager to show off the completely useless thing my lil Samsung camera does...

Bob and Dave trying on new hair do's (or don'ts). 

I like this "scene" titled, "my memory" i seem to use it on photos i forgot i had taken...(Ankur, RB and me)

I love you beer...

Brandy, and her brother, Chris Farina...(hmmm)

the silly thing my camera does @ firehouse #2

I think Paul is a pretty sparkle-shine princess, must be the fact he's not in Iowa...

Lovely Mears is princess of the firehouse...

yes, Perez, it is a beautiful life, now get over it and get happy dammit!

Dan giving Eddie a lil photog/editor love.

Photo Night 2008!

Photo night break break by David G. This photo has two strikes against it, i didn't shoot it and it shows my post-holiday stomache...however, i couldn't resist! After 5 hours of looking over end-of-year photos i thought things would look better upside down, not to be outdone, Dan joined in with a chair. (Yes, it was shot upside down, but Dan is amazing nonetheless!)
