Weekend in Detroit
Last weekend in Chicago now to Detroit. It was a very busy weekend... here's the recap.

Last week at work was stressful...preparing for Sorority recruitment is a lot of work. This week is of course even busier and I am working all weekend... so last weekend I needed to live it up before this stressful week. The weekend started with a comedian on campus on Friday. Union Board brought Vince Morris and he was great and very funny. After that show I swung over to Jen's house cause she was having a little going away party for Holly someone at work who is leaving. I chilled there for a little bit, and then I headed to Ypsilanti.

In Ypsi I went to the Wooden Nickel... man it was great! My fraternity chapter at EMU used to host a monthly party there and Brothers from all over would go. It was a great time and I went at least twice a semester. Well the chapter has been closed for a few years so nothing going on over there... well some Brothers brought it back for a night and I had to be there. It was great seeing some old Brothers, tons of young ones, and danced!

Salsa, Bachata, Merengue... We danced!

Some of the old school EMU Brothers!

My Boliviana Rep, Felicia from MSU.

The place was packed and we had a good time.

Saturday started in Novi, MI (Northwest Detroit) at the Double Tree Inn. Man those Double Tree cookies are good! Anyhow that is the new venue for the 2006 East District Formal and I was there to negotiate our final contract and start planning the logistic for that weekend. I think the venue is going to be great, and the location could not be better. We are close to major highways, the Detroit airport, shopping, everything!

It has a large open atrium with indoor pool and hot tub.

Newly redone lobby and decor.


Saturday night I went out to Royal Oak with Heather and some friends. It was our friend Nat's birthday so we had dinner at a cool little gourmet pizza place and then a private room at Cinq. I love that bar cause they make mojitos and the decor is cool. We had a good time and afterwards stopped for some Jimmys! That is one of the things I miss here in Albion, we don't have a Jimmy Johns!

Nat on the right. She is in Vibe Magazine this month!

Jimmy Johns! It was so good...

It was a fun weekend. Sunday did some shopping at the mall and headed back to Albion. This week has been very busy with recruitment. It starts on Wednesday and then I will be swamped with recruitment. So watch for a posting from me next week about sorority recruitment! Its gonna be great...
