I haven’t posted in a while (I’ve been busy moving and working hard!). This weekend is the big break I need, where I can relax with a lawn chair in downtown Detroit and do the jazzfest thing. The jazzfest this year is probably one of the best lineups in recent history. There are some other big events coming up for this weekend too:

Arts, Beats & Eats ^[1] – Big art & food festival in downtown Pontiac.
Detroit Grand Prix ^[2] – Auto racing returns to Belle Isle this weekend.
Detroit Jazz Fest ^[3] – One of the best lineups in years – Herbie Hancock on Friday, and an insane lineup on Saturday (including Martin, Medeski & Wood), Kenny Barron on Sunday.

Also, on August 30th (Thursday) you can catch the Great Lakes Myth Society, one of my favorite new bands, at the Union Ballroom in Ann Arbor.
