Detoit Music Update/Metro Times Movie Ticket Giveaway-Taking Woodstock

Hello Music Luvers

My dear friend Anne Kelly, the ace classified rep from Metro Times, has gifted me with 3 pairs of tickets to an exclusive showing of the Taking Woodstock for Thursday August 28 at the Birmingham 8 Theatre. As you know MT is the premiere alternative newspaper with hundreds of thousands of regular readers. Its writers have won huge awards and prizes in the journalism circles and the paper is a dear friend of our fine city.

So, here's the deal. The premiere is at 7, but you have to get there early. Anne tells me once the house is full, that's it. If you win, you must be there early. I will notify the winners on the specifics, once I determine the winner.

So, the first three responders, who answer the below trivia question win. You and your friend/companion/spouse/strange thing/whatever will be mine and MT's guest.

So here goes the trivia question. If you follow my blog, you will get the answer. Hint, you can go to http://detroitmusicupdate.blogspot.com for help.

What band ,that was an essential part of the East Lansing, Detroit, Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor,
Grand Rapids landscape from the mid 80's to early 90's , who also played one of the 1992 Clinton Inauguration Parties will, after a 16 year hiatus, be reuniting at Rick's American Cafe in East Lansing, MI, on November 13 and 14th Hint: one of the former members is now a dentist in Berkley, Michigan.

Good luck . . . . .

Come join and add shows, show revues, MP3's and comments . If you have a band or know a band that you wish to spotlight and the band plays in the 313, 248, 586, 734 and 810 area, sign up and share the love.
