Anyway, as usual, we paired up and drove down to the D. We loitered around Comerica Park, and took some pretty cool photos (in my humble opinion) of and around the park.
We walked across the street and shot some Fox Theater and other stuff in that general area, then part of our group left (some to catch The Game, others for various reasons).
At this point, we all piled into Andrea's most amazing car, that fit about 7 of us. It made for a fun, laugh-a-licious ride.
We crossed the border into Canada, no problems (seriously, they'll let anyone in), then took some really cool shots (see the banner, I took that from Canada on this trip), then decided it was time for food.
After deciding it was time for food, we headed back to Detroit. Now, it must be stated, that I said something about crossing the border in my original meetup post. Something like "if you get stopped at the border because you don't have the right information, we will leave you there.. so have your stuff". Guess who didn't have the right stuff? yeah, me. I sucketh.
The guy at the border was really cool though, and in a serious, but poke fun-ny way made sure I knew what to have for the next crossing :D
Quote of the day (from right after the border guy let us go)
Andrea: "The NERVE of that guy!! To mess with us that way! Just because he has some power!!!!" Me: "Um, if I had that kind of power, I'd totally mess with people *lol*" Andrea: "LOL SO WOULD I!!!"
So we go to Nicki's in Detroit for pizza. We get there, we get a table, and we are all ordering drinks, and our server asks what i want. I say "do you have Sam's Cherry Wheat?" she says "Oh honey, I don't know, I'm a vodka drinker lol"
SRSLY? LOL
Oh. I forgot to tell you. When we were in Canada, we heard what sounded like automatic gun fire. It kind of freaked me out. Then there was what sounded like heavy artillary going off. Again, it freaked me out, but A. We were in CANADA (as opposed to Detroit lol) and B. no one else seemed to be worried about it. So , I let it go.
Then Jeff and Andrea walked over to get some different photos of the City, and when they came back, they were all "we know what that waaaaaaaas, and we bet you want to knooooooooowwww". I tried to play it cool, like I didn't care (even though, I was, you know, ITCHING to know), and when we got to Nicki's, the taunting became overwhelming (*drama*) and I started asking.. but they wouldn't tell. (*drama / sob*)
Turns out it was a cannon!! WTF!! (I found out after the whole thing was over.. but the whole thing was fun and funny).
All in all, this evening was one of the most fun we'd had. The kind where your face hurts when you get home because you smiled too much!
Good times.. you should join us!!
