it was pretty awesome.

However, didn't get into the main event due to capacity. Our group of four started at the Detroit Athletic Club (drinking Belle Glos wine for the board snobs), then walked around, popped into different bars/shops, saw various side shows.

I don't think I've ever seen downtown Detroit like that. Only exception would be the Super Bowl, maybe Tigers World Series.

Cops were everywhere, and I read many undercover as well. They let everyone have a good time, which included carrying open containers, very Vegas-esque. Cops just made sure no one got run over, and no one started fights.

Well done by Detroit, A++.
