being a vegan foodie.... my biggest things are finding actual good
food to eat while in the D.
so. can't forget Avalon Bakery! Cass Ave right by Planet E.
lots of vegan carbohydrate delights there and the best coffee in
Detroit [organic, fair trade]
Blue Nile - Ferndale, MI - a staple of techno tourists - prix fixe,
but don't order more than necessary because you can't take it with you
Oslo [walking distance, Woodward] - there will probably be plenty of
parties there, of course
Royal Oak - Beirut Palace for their delish falafel, hummus and their
big fat juicy fatoosh... and orange / carrot juices [yum!]
La Shish - in Dearborn [if you're passing by the airport] or Warren
if you're near Roseville Record Time
Sala Thai - in the burbs on Lafayette near Woodward - and buy some
Gap t-shirts while you're at it
Marathon - cheap ethiopian in Windsor, ON - might be easier / cheaper
to take the bus from there.
Don't take a German techno artist [Monolake], a man of Arabic descent
[Sharif], a white girl [---], a Filipino girl [---], a white guy that
got turned away at the border [me] and a black guy [Archetype]
without a passport or ID through the border and expect not to be
hassled.
If memory serves me right, there's some indian food to be had
downtown, but I only stumbled into it and have yet to see it in the
last 2 years for some reason.
Go to Ann Arbor, like Diana said for Zingerman's, but don't get a
ticket while doing so.. and say hi to Carlos!

Go to Cranbrook. And wish that you had gone there instead of Ohio
freaking State
Throw eggs at the dealer at New to You [W. 9 Mile, Ferndale - on the
same strip as ex-Xhedos + ex-Record Time]
he's a crook, sits on overpriced gear forever -- he's another guy
that you should say "you can't take it with you" to..
Sadly, so much of what made Detroit, Detroit is gone.. [detroit
contemporary, Motor, temple, Panacea]

Agreed.
If you want to venture out of the city-
Xedos (if it's still around) is a good place to chill.
Cranbrook school for the gardens
Have falafel properly
have Ethiopian food
go to the DIA (they just remodeled it)
take a day trip to Ann Arbor and eat some amazing
bread at Zingerman's
Cass Cafe in Detroit (if still around)
instead of the HUGE parties, see some local talent at
the smaller parties.
safe travels,
Diana

Subject: (313) things to do in detroit during the
festival (except
the festival)
So what are the things to do while I am in detroit
during the festival

I know of...
submerge, record time (i dont know where it is).
What is a good geographical tour?
What places are worth going to? (I am a gear
freak, love analog stuff
and used gear... maybe some music gear shops?)
Thanks yo.
