    I'm going to be in Detroit tonight, East Lancing on Friday and Saturday. I'm pretty much booked up, but if any of you are going to be at the Michigan/MSU game on Saturday, Nick, Chris, or Tafkats(I think those are all the Michiganers) let me know and I'll come shake your hand.

    If you meet up with Nick, are you going to steal his cell phone? :bergman:

    Yeah, but going thru St Lo let us avoid being trapped in a snowstorm at O'Hare once, so it's got a special place in my heart.

    [EDIT]Oh, you said "shifty", not "shitty". My bad. Still.... [/EDIT]

    Depends which part you're in. Which Airline you flying? Southwest flys out of the East Terminal, which is WAY newer and nicer. What's left of American, plus the other carriers, fly out of the original terminal which is in dire need of refurbishing. Of course, with so many empty gates and no major carrier calling STL a hub, they can't afford to refurb it. *sigh*

    Enjoy the game!

    Go visit the suburbs; Ann Arbor or anywhere in Oakland County (Birmingham is quite posh).

    I won't be attending, too busy working. Hope you enjoy your visit though. :)

    I've got some great pics from Detroit I will upload when I get back. Chris I was staying in Livonia, I toured all around Detroit though, saw the good and the bad, and now I'm tailgating in East Lancing.

    I figure with Michigan's unemployment rate, drinking at seven in the morning is a way of life, regardless of the athletic events of that day.

    Here are a few of the pics I took. The board doesn't support large pics so the quality has gone down considerably.
