blue velvet

I often forget about the city that lives with in my city, Hamtramack. The small community is nested a little north of where i normally run around town, but i was drawn there on a shoot for a metro times article. Wednesday nights are usually bumping at the new coffee house THC (trowbridge coffee house). The boys from the cycle/4th horizon keep the crowd moving while Mike Petrack and his lady friend serve up tasty drinks. Tonight they had free champagne for ladies, and Kristen makes a delicious raspberry chocolate martini. (Although you'll have to coax it out of her). The Bar/coffee spot is really beautiful comfortable and has a diverse crowd.

My friend Andi and I ventured down the street (3 doors) to the infamous Belmont, where we hard there was a rumor of Karaoke... we were treated to a group of people singing, and getting rowdy, blue velvet, and white wedding, and psycokiller were in rotation, and this boy even coaxed me up to do a duet. Adam is in a band called the Dead Bodies, he is gearing up to release Dead Bodies 3.0, www. sexydeadbodies.com. He is also a classically trained pianist, but he told me karaoke makes him nervous. Tonight was pure goodness...
