So, the question is...anyone up for Cadieux or Dragonmead/food-taken-in?

I would be if I were in town. My client out there is not cooperating though. I had intended to be spending a decent amount of time in Detroit this year. Maybe Revvy will be free. :mug:
 
Well, it looks like I may finish up early tomorrow with my work here in Amherstburg. I'm going to cross back onto US soil a day earlier than originally planned. I had a rough time getting across originally and don't want to risk missing my flight out of DTW on Friday morning if it is rough again.

So, the question is...anyone up for Cadieux or Dragonmead/food-taken-in?

Depending on what time, I could probably meet up with you at Dragonmead afterwork. I have to be in Ponitiac early this afternoon but hopefully I will finish up at a reasonable hour. It's currently 11 am, so I'll check this thread as I get a chance.

So you're talking tomorrow? Friday? I'm actually gonna be off. Depending on the time, Maybe. I'll do a D-mead/lazy bones meetup.

Unfortunately Revvy, I am talking about tonight, Thursday. I fly out Friday morning at 6 am.

Cool, just let me know I'm staying fairly close by.
 
Revvy, thanks for quashing the Detroit bashing as quickly as it appeared earlier in the thread. It gets seriously old. My wife grew up down river and I’m from SW MI. I remember driving to Cobo for concerts the instant I turned 18. My wife and I even did a downtown pub crawl for our bachelor/bachelorette party.
Not mentioned was Fishbones. But since you’re from Louisiana it wouldn’t make a lot of sense to go since it’s designed to be a southern seafood restaurant.
The downtown city center surrounding Ford Field and Comerica Park is a great place to be. You’ve got everything from upscale restaurants, hole in the wall pubs, a casino, etc. It’s safe, well lit, and there is a lot to do. The drive in is a bit depressing as outside of this hub is what gives Detroit a bad rap.
As for Windsor, I went there a LOT when I was 19 – 20.99 years old. The lower drinking age pulls a lot of the younger crowd with disposable incomes across the bridge/tunnel. Honestly, I remember it being nice and clean but overall really expensive. And that was when the dollar was worth much more than Canadian.
There are some nice Canadian commercial beers that aren’t very prevalent in the US. Sleemans is a good one to try.
I hope you enjoyed your time in MI.
 
I'm leaving Pontiac now. It'll take approx 45 minutes to get there. I'll be the fat guy wearing the loud tie.
 
Make sure you document the event with a team photo....like this one:

Oh, I wish I was about 600 miles closer as I'd love to have a beer at Dragonmead with you guys! Too bad we couldn't do it Sunday when I was in the area. Have fun, and drink only good beer!

Well, we don't have the arm candy like you did, but if Revvy shows I think we can swing something.

Yeah...SWMBO digs HBT meet-ups. No worries about the current lack of arm-candy. Revvy draws the women!!!
 
I had a great time meeting up with Keg and Revvy! I forgot to get the photo op in, but its all good. Next time you are in town Brett, look us up!
 
... Revvy draws the women!!!

Yeah right, only with crayons, and pretty badly. ;)

Had a great time with Brian and Brett. Looking forward for the next time Brett comes back to our fair city. And hopefully BigB and I can hang out soon. Didn't realize you were so close for some reason.

:mug:
 
Thanks again for meeting up Brian and Revvy. Let me know if you're ever in my neck of the woods! That goes for any of you actually :mug:

Now I'm off to shower and sleep, 4am comes early.
