Re: (313) demf 2008 It's true Detroit is a great city to ride in I would not use a high end expensive bike though, some of the roads are worse than some trails I've been on. consider giving these guys a call or e-mail to set up a bike. http://backalleybikes.org they take old bikes and fix them up cheap or free if you volunteer they would probably let you rent one David UI Design wrote: I am a white girl who rides my bike every day during the summer, to work, to the store, even to the bars and clubs. I've never had a problem, other than the ongoing hellos from people as I pass by, that kind of freaked me out a bit at first because living in the UK, especially in Liverpool, people don't tend to say hello to people they don't know, but in Detroit, there is a strong sense of southern hospitality, people say hello to one another as they pass by, in elevators, on the streets, everywhere you go. Just as in every other city, there are places you wouldn't want to ride your bike, as it gets a bit dangerous, but during the daytime, I tend to not worry where I ride, just after dark I try to be cautious. People here do tend to bring there bikes into their apartments, so I'd suggest speaking to your hotel to see if they have an inside storage space for bikes. Bike riding in Detroit has become more and more popular, as the gas prices are very high. I tend to see 4-10 bike riders a day at the minimum in the summer and I work a 11-5, so I'm sure I miss the majority of good biking hours. It's a major city, so yes, you will be riding amongst a lot of highrises and parking lots, but theres also parks, the river walk, the graffitti mile (which will hopefully be renovated enough by DEMF you can ride from the lake front to Eastern Market). Detroit's very spread out, so you shouldn't expect to ride from downtown to Record Time Roseville for an outing, that would end up being a 20+ mile journey roundtrip. There are very cute neighborhoods that are a good ride-through, such as Woodbridge, which is about a 10 minute ride from Hart Plaza. I'd suggest a guide, though, for anything your doing in the city, especially if you've never been here before. If your interested in a bike tour around the city, I'd be willing to do a tour on the Saturday from noon till 2. Let me know.

Had a brilliant time. Really enjoyed Legowelt, Convextion, Monolake and the Bleep 43 live sets, although from the moment I booked up I knew it would be much more about having a stupid weekend with friends than the music, despite the wicked line-up. But that's what I wanted and that's what I got. Robert Henke was so animated behind his Monodeck II I couldn't believe it. Properly jacking himself about back there. Also, having him in the middle of that massive floor was a nice touch. Convextion played a few new tracks that sounded really tasty, including a new Basic Channely thing that was ridiculous. His whole set was dope though. All the jams. I seem to be in the very slim minority of those who enjoyed Bartos. That vocoder dude with the long hair was simultaneously priceless and impossible to watch. I actually obscured him from view for part of the set. Oh, and to refute Greg's claim about surreality involving Juan Atkins at European music festivals, I can relay one anecdote. I was walking between stages with some friends when Juan Atkins was about to go on and someone asked if we should check him out, to which I replied, yeah right, like Juan Atkins is going to show up, only to turn around and see him walking directly behind me. Nice. It's also worth noting how brilliantly this festival is run. Totally professional work. Tristan === http://www.phonopsia.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: (313) things to do in detroit during the festival (except the festival)
That Record Store you were looking for in Hamtramck is called Detroit Threads, not Record Time. It's definitely still there, he's got an amazing collection, very diverse, and definitely worth a stop-off. Also, don't forget Vibes, on 8-mile, its Rick Wilhites store, although you'll probably need a guide to get there, as its hard to find, and you have to be buzzed in, worth it though, as its one of the best house music stores in the country and def THE best Detroit House music store anywhere in the world. Sushi at Oslo's is a good recommendation. And don't forget to get your coffee, muffins and red bull at the Urban Bean Co. This place was Blake Baxters old record store, and this place will be open 24-7 during the fest. They have turntables and programmed and open table times where people from out of town can hop on. The owner of this coffee shop, Josh Greenwood, is infamous in the city for his influence, through Push, Motormouth magazine, Dalley in the Alley and a few more. Def worth a stop-through. Corner of Grand River and Griswold, prob a 7 minute bike ride, and 15-20 minute walk from Hart Plaza, straight up Woodward to Grand River, go one block to Griswold.

RE: (313) things to do in detroit during the festival (except the festival)
Couldn't agree more about Vibes, it's tricky to find but well worth the visit. Best to call in advance to check that it's open though. If you're on the second hand records tip then People's near the university is a bit closer (even a goodish walk from Hart Plaza) and has lots of disco, house and electro on occasion as well as the soul, jazz, funk that you'd expect. A great shop. -Original Message- From: UI Design [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 March 2008 20:30 To: M Ng [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Michael Kuszynski [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 313 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) things to do in detroit during the festival (except the festival) That Record Store you were looking for in Hamtramck is called Detroit Threads, not Record Time.

Sorry, try again, here: http://www.sweet-juniper.com/2007/11/it-will-rise-from-ashes.html Me and two of my friends got inside the perimeter of the building last year We found somewhere to actually enter and were about to go in when we looked up. At a window on one of the upper floors we saw a person waving at us. Even though it was the middle of the day and blazing hot sunshine at that, the lone figure totally spooked us out. We beat a hasty retreat. Having read that blog however and marvelled at the author's pictures of the buildinng's interior I've decided to try again this year. As far as security goes, the central station, like many of Detroit's abandoned buildings is precisely that: literally abandoned. We didn't see a soul during our visit (apart from that disturbing lone figure) and attempts to secure the building were haphazard at best. It was as if people had managed to somehow block out and forget about the presence of this enourmous hulking wreck that dominates the area. -Original Message- From: M Ng [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 March 2008 19:59 To: Michael Kuszynski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) things to do in detroit during the festival (except the festival) I've made it my mission to see the Michigan Central Station!

Ferndale Record Time will be closed by the end of this month, sadly. Check out Rick Wilhite's Vibes New Rare Music shop - don't know what the hours will be that weekend. Madison Heights Nature Center - if you need to take a walk in the woods in the middle of urban sprawl. Maybe a bit of a drive from Harts Plaza, but its really a nice spot. In the short time that I have lived here, I've come to love it. And second the Soul Skate - that was great last year!

Oh, and Google Street view has photographed much of Detroit!
Re: (313) things to do in detroit during the festival (except the festival)
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] +odd -- On Mar 19, 2008, at 5:40 PM, diana potts wrote: Agreed.

the Michigan Central Station was the main location of the giant shootout between Optimus Prime and Megatron in Transformers... and The Island, coincidentally, both by Michael Bay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Central_Station http://www.absolutemichigan.com/dig/articles/mcs-727-transformers-co- star-michigan-central-station/ and will be the new home to the police station I read somewhere as well.. ? wish I could find the link, I couldn't believe it btw there's a bunch of Mexican food there because it's next to mexican town +odd -- On Mar 19, 2008, at 5:15 PM, Dan Bean wrote: Sorry, try again, here: http://www.sweet-juniper.com/2007/11/it-will-rise-from-ashes.html Me and two of my friends got inside the perimeter of the building last year We found somewhere to actually enter and were about to go in when we looked up. At a window on one of the upper floors we saw a person waving at us. Even though it was the middle of the day and blazing hot sunshine at that, the lone figure totally spooked us out. We beat a hasty retreat. Having read that blog however and marvelled at the author's pictures of the buildinng's interior I've decided to try again this year. As far as security goes, the central station, like many of Detroit's abandoned buildings is precisely that: literally abandoned. We didn't see a soul during our visit (apart from that disturbing lone figure) and attempts to secure the building were haphazard at best. It was as if people had managed to somehow block out and forget about the presence of this enourmous hulking wreck that dominates the area. -Original Message- From: M Ng [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 March 2008 19:59 To: Michael Kuszynski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) things to do in detroit during the festival (except the festival) I've made it my mission to see the Michigan Central Station!

(313) beatport awards -- denver club ...
You can vote on the Beatport awards at http://www.beatportal.com/awards -- it's mostly kind of Detroit un-friendly, and the whole idea of 'best hard house producer' is kind of like 'kindest murderer' as a category, but there's a couple of categories you can vote for 313-lister Chymera (Brendan Gregoriy) who is a good guy in addition to being an ace producer in the techno vein. In other Beatporty news, they're opening a new club in Denver near their office. For what it's worth. It might be cool if they do some decent techno nights ...
Re: (313) things to do in detroit during the festival (except the festival)
Fantastic picks, Todd! so. can't forget Avalon Bakery! Cass Ave right by Planet E. Such good pastry...another fantastic pastry pick is the mexican bakery in (duh) Mexicantown. They have this great cafeteria-tray setup where you go around pick stuff out, and you end up with this massive brown paper sack of baked good for like $2.50. Sala Thai - in the burbs on Lafayette near Woodward True! I haven't been to Sala Thai in forever. Had many a pad thai there over the years... 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. This one's a bit controversial. The restaraunt across from the DIA, in the basement of the International Center, always had a couple of different curries every day. They got pushed out with higher rent, and a new owner came in with basically the exact same menu. I haven't been there in a few years. Last time I was there the food was still great but I felt kind of dirty because of the way that whole situation went down. bvl -- http://www.billvanloo.com || http://www.chromedecay.org
Re: (313) beatport awards -- denver club ...
Beta Nightclub (http://www.betanightclub.com) is a few blocks from my loft (Beta is at 19th and Blake in Denver). The space was formerly called Rise and was a latin dance music club. Sadly, the space is in the center of what I call frat row. I went to Rise a few times with friends and it was just that - frat boys with booty-dancing women. I'm betting Beta will take about 6 months to get off the ground and nail its target market. For the early days, I bet the same frat boys looking to get laid will frequent the place --even though $15/nightly cover will deter them a bit. Tonight's the Z-Trip VIP opening night. And Saturday is the Steve Bug opening night ($25). Tempting to head down, but I'm cautious that beyond the cover, the (probably) expensive drinks will keep me away, sadly. I really hope it takes off, but by the time it doesI'll be gone. -m On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 7:47 PM, kent williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You can vote on the Beatport awards at http://www.beatportal.com/awards -- it's mostly kind of Detroit un-friendly, and the whole idea of 'best hard house producer' is kind of like 'kindest murderer' as a category, but there's a couple of categories you can vote for 313-lister Chymera (Brendan Gregoriy) who is a good guy in addition to being an ace producer in the techno vein.
