I sent this earlier in the week as a super late response to the Ron Hardy/Gridface thread, but I don't think it went through. So here it is, I'm trying again.
>> Oh yeah, Gridface is fantastic! Love all you do, Jacob. Looking forward to those photos! Fred, the history of spaces is so interesting in both Chicago and Detroit. I'm really fascinated by the longevity of particular sites that either live on in peoples' memories or actually get reincarnated. I was just at a party this weekend in Detroit - Brian Gillespie and Todd Osborn (as Starski and Clutch), and Tadd Mullinix (as James T. Cotton). It was at this newly opened bar called 10 Critics - used to be the Porter Street Station - 1400 Porter Street, in Corktown, near Michigan Ave., near Bohemian National Home, and other Corktown/southwest Detroit locations, for those who have visited this lovely city. I had multiple people thsi weekend tell me about going to this same space for parties 10-15 years ago, one of which was a Tresor party! -- Denise Dalphond Ph.D. Candidate Department of Folklore & Ethnomusicology Indiana University http://denisedjsdetroit.blogspot.com/
