So all over downtown Detroit are these goofy looking “cars” that I guess are some kind of art. I’m sure we saw at least a dozen as we navigated our way around last night. This one was in front of Tiger Stadium Comerica Park and as you can see it does look like a tiger.
Anyone know the story behind these things?

So the Detroit Pistons are going for the gold again. I was just downtown last night and just happened to be in the right spot to get a picture of the “Spirit of Detroit”, a 26 foot tall statue, wearing a Pistons jersey.
FYI – The statue was created by Marshall Fredericks and put on display in 1958. He never named it the Spirit of Detroit (I’m not sure where the name first came from). At the time, “It was the largest cast statue made anywhere since the Renaissance and was designed to require no repairs for 100 years.”
So we went out last night four bars/clubs and for the fourth one we ended up back at the first (so it was really three). There was a mission though, Ivy was in town at the Magic Stick (which is above the Majestick, get it?). So it was regular happy hour, to the greektown casino where L’usa were playing (we’ve got friends in the band) and then to the concert. We missed most of the opening acts but we kinda knew that with all the running around (that’ll be another post).
Ivy was great, I think I originally heard her on a WB show (or some show) and they showed her information in the end credits. I think the band is generally three people but I think we counted eight at one point. The photo is of Dominique Durand (I needed to be closer, my camera is great but my flash is pretty lousy). I gave my e-mail to a woman there who took a lot of photos I hope she sends me a few!
I generally hate the reality shows but this new one by Ashton Kutcher called Beauty and the Geek is hysterical. Seven beautiful women and seven dorks geniuses have to team up and teach each other some skills if they want to win the competition, but “they’re so far apart on the social spectrum that they’re practically different species”.
They extra funny part is I know these guys (or at least guys like them) from high school and/or college. Plus, some of these guys have never been on a date or kissed a girl. When the one category is massage the one guy was practically shaking when he realized he was going to have to touch a girl. The women learned auto repair faster than the guys learned massage. Be sure to check out the preview.
This week iTunes has an exclusive four track album for Tori Amos out his week called (coincidentally) Exclusive Session: Tori Amos – EP. The album has live versions of Crazy, Seaside, Sleeps With Butterflies and The Power of Orange Knickers. Tori is one of the few people that I think does good “live albums”.
They also have three free songs this week.
These links should launch iTunes (if you have it) and show the songs. The free songs will not be free after Monday, June 13th 2005.
2.5 hours and a Two and a Half Men marathon is pure entertainment. As always they entertained me way more than the average show. They just crack me up!!!

Lacy at Silverberry got a new Macintosh Powerbook. She seems to be liking it and has a flickr slideshow showing that “Apple really has packaging and presentation details down”. They really do, it’s especially noticeable with the laptops and the iPods IMHO. So a like is here for your pleasure…
