@Guido, thanks. I'll check the theatres you mentioned for a Nov. 3 show. The riverwalk may be a good idea. We walk every Sunday(5miles) anyway so that would be cool. I'll read your post again and look into some of your suggestions.

Greektown! If you are into Greek food, it is a must-stop. Depends on when you go, as well. Look to see who is at the Fox Theater, Greektown (not to be confused with the area) has a casino (called the Greektown Casino...what a surprise), I'd see who was playing at Joe Louis Arena (last place we saw Priest), you might catch a hockey game or even football as all are in that area. No major parks but you can jump on the People Mover and get a good tour of the city as it runs in a big circle. Go to the top of the Renaissance Center if you REALLY want a view. You can go for drinks or food. It sits at the top and both spin so you can see beautiful views of the city and Windsor on a good day or night. Belle Isle is a park / Island that isn't much but good for a car tour. Great parks are further north. Did you see the pix of Harpos I posted for you? Vacation thread. While it would be great to catch a show there, you do NOT want to hang out there at night. No problem at all in the venue itself and I even park on the street but don't get lost in that area. If in doubt? Head south into Grosse Pointe. Drive too far south and you'll hit the lake! Drive Lakeshore to be sure. Beautiful houses and all of Grosse Pointe runs along the lake.
I'd say "RiverWalk" and the Atwater Brewing Company (both along the Detroit River) but November is COLD! Fishbones for good music (all downtown) and food and even St. Andrews Hall is worth a look to see who is playing. Tons of museums (Motown is worth it, DIA - Detroit Institute of Arts, etc. if you are into such things. Urban sprawl, though. You won't find much by way of "natural areas" unless you head north. Clarification, by north I mean hours to the north!
Good start with what I mention above. Hell, you could spend a DAY in the Ren Cen alone! Park there and take the People Mover around. Only parking cheaper is at the casino and getting a free stamp at the cage. THEN take the People Mover around!

@Guido. What would one do in Detroit in November to have fun. May go to Harpo's and would like to find something to do the next day. Pittsburgh has "Station Square" and Cleveland has "The Flats". Entertainment districts with restaraunts, bars, nightclubs, etc. Does Detroit have such an area. Any suggestions. Open to other things also. Nice State parks, etc. Just looking for ideas.

...i was watching "Pawn Stars" a couple of weeks ago and one of the owners was given tickets to this camp as a birthday gift and he got to sing with Roger Daltry of The Who.(his idol). This was the first time that I've heard of it. I told my wife it would be pretty wild if Priest would do it and about two days later I saw Demonizer's post. Very cool!!!

I have never written a song in my life either...but, it is for ALL levels...beginner to expert. I have written poems before...aren't many songs just poems put to music?
I don't know what s most exciting about the thing...Deep Freeze got to be in a band for a bit and loved it...I always wanted to do that, but never had the chops or time or, dare I say it, the balls, to do it. This camp is giving me that opportunity to do that and much more. I am super excited to be able to meet the guys, but I think even more excited about the opportunity to LEARN from them and all the others.
They say in the brochure that they will give us a link to share with our friends and family so they can stream the performance live. I will post it here for all of you so you can watch. Hopefully I will do you all proud!!
