Motor City Winter Blast

Hey there Funky Folks

Have you seen the line up for the Motor City Winter Blast. It is this weekend and features so many friends of the Update. One really cool band that you might not have know is Echoes of Pink Floyd, formerly the Surrogate Band, Friday night. They do a pretty tasty tribute to all things Pink Floyd.

Some of the Update's friends there will be Jam Samich, Back Forty, Jam Society and the Macpodz. There is SO much to see at the Blast, it is more than music. Dog sledding, extreme snowboarding, ice skating, and turns of metal containers loaded with burning wood, where you can purchase S'Mores from vendors for roasting.

I know where I will be a good part of this weekend. Here is the site for all the musical event
