So I have been told that I need to write about my weekend in Detroit. Since Becky and the girls had a weekend on mothers day, the guys decided to do a weekend in Detroit. Since the Tiger season had so much hope we decided to go to 2 Detroit/Cleveland games over the weekend. We've had the tickets since they went on sale so we were all pretty geeked.
We rolled into town a couple of hours after the Stanley cup parade. We checked into our room at the Atheneum hotel in Greektown. I can't rave enough about the hotel, aside from a sub par air conditioner in the room it was perfect.
Friday night the Tigers lost, but it was atleast a close entertaining game. Afterwards we hit a couple of bars and crashed. We ended up walking around Greektown in the morning and grabing some great breakfast food & coffee at a cafe by the hotel. We hung out some more at the hotel and went off to the game.
Saturdays game was much better. Detroit won 8-4 with the high point being the grand slam by Renteria in the 8th. It was REALLY hot during the game so we went back to the hotel to clean up. And here is the meat of the story that you've read through my rambling to get to.
The whole weekend I'd been saying how Leyland stays at the same hotel we were at, and that I've heard he hangs out for a little while after the game in the hotel bar. So as we were walking down I noticed that he was in there. Rob, Mike, & I walked in to shake his hand and tell him we enjoyed the game. After that we were buzzing about meeting him and went to the Fishbone for some dinner. Rob had noticed that the Raconteurs (Jack White band) were playing at the Fillmore and how cool it would be to see them play. So as he was trolling outside for tickets, Jon & I went to Cheli's because I heard a "Lets go Redwings" chant. Sure enough there were a few of the Wings there, Lindstrom, Holmstrom, Chelios, Datsuk, and a couple of others. So Jon and I managed to get to the floor they were on, hang out and shake hands with Lindstrom and Chelios. After they cleared the bar for a private party we found out Rob & Mike had bought 2 tickets to the show and were in there. We pushed our luck and managed to get in without tickets to see the last couple of songs. At that point we figured we couldn't loose for the night. We went to another bar, hung out and then went back to the room.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Rafalski & Draper brought the cup to the game and through out the first pitch on Saturday. That was pretty cool!
A very busy and eventful weekend, but one I won't soon forget.

I havent been to Fishbone's in a long time. Being a veggie can be hard there, but I always managed. I too had a close encounter with a Red Wing a few months back at Costco. Did you see the guys on Leno with the trophy singing SexyBack? Too bad Timberlake didn't give them a back up. HOpe you all are dry. I so hate storms.
I am so jealous, but excited for you. Yes, that's a great weekend and wish I was there! Miss you.

Did you get to witness the cup being dented?
Beck!
Have to tell you how awesome the pic of your husband and the famous ball player. The look on his face is priceless.
