Greetings From Aus

[glc]

Hey, I'm new here, and I'm from Far Far away! (Australia)

My family has moved to Detroit and I will be visiting 3 or 4 times a year. My first trip will be in Jan 07.

If anyone feels like sharing some info with me like where I can eat, drink, shop, catch some music, I'd sure like to hear about it! Yeah, I could search through the forums and find all this stuff out but how impersonal is that?! This way I can introduce myself and maybe meet some people aswell on my travels.

Food:

1. Bring an amount of Promite, Marmite, and Vegemite equal to what you will require, you'll not find it here.

2. Bring at least one box of Tim Tams.

3. If you're more into British fare, actually try the UK. If you're more of a curry person, you'll find it here, but not without some confusion. If you like American fare, then it really doesn't matter where you eat, does it?

Drink:

There are quite a few decent locals in Detroit, although the club scene in this sour pocket of inhumanity, really only lasted for about a half decade and you missed it. Still, there are many clubs in Detroit, although clubs marked with historical relevance rather than contemporary relevance. If you want atmosphere, try Hamtramck: in Hamtramck atmosphere is a palpable carcinogenic vapor which may cause you to cough until nausea. The Magic Stick is a good place for live rock, although I would recommend Baker's Keyboard Lounge over that place, really.

Shopping:

John King Books Detroit is a hidden gem, like finding a pearl in a zebra mussel.

Vegemite, check.

I'm definitely a curry fan - Thai, Indian, it's all good!

I've heard about Baker's and I'll definietly be checking it out. That was on my list already actually so thanks for the validation.

Books will be a necessity with all that plane travel, it's like 20hrs each way. groan.

Thanks paper

Howdy nice to meet ya. In terms of food & drink and such its fairly subjective. Usually i just stuff whatever is close at hand in my face so im not usually much help there.

Welcome to the board. Hope you stick around. =)

One simply must expereince Bray's to be a true jet setter.

Thanks Troy, yeah I think I'll stick around for a while - I've been couped up at home for the last few years, not being very social, I've never gotten into the whole internet people meeting thing either, so I'm a virgin forum poster, or member, or whatever. But anyway, if I can meet some people here and hang out when I'm in Detroit that would be cool. I need to get a bit more social!!!

[glc]

Bray's - Check

[ManicQueen]

Hello and Welcome

[BrassFusion]

[honeymustard02]

Welcome to the board

Aus accents are sexy!!! *wink*

I am of no help when talking of Detroit, never been. But I do hope you enjoy!!

There is usually a Saturday night gathering of at least some DGNers to the right of the bar at CityClub. It's sort of rough around the edges to put it mildly. (Sort of like The Shining, except dirtier) but there are a lot of interesting folk who show up.

Heh heh. So did I.

(especially the "sour pocket of inhumanity" - that was art).

[glc]

Thanks for the welcomes guys, never thought I'd ever hear anyone describe an aussie accent as sexy, but I won't complain!

Phee - I do actually have a didg, funnily enough. I'm not that great at it but, although I'm starting to get the circular breathing thing down.

Aussie is sexy! My guy that gives me my massage's is Aussie.

[honeymustard02]

Well it is. Aussie and Scottish/Irish accents are just hot. Lol Can you like do my voicemail message for me?? I think that would be cool. It'd confuse people.

"G'day mate, bummer, honeymustard02 is on the dunny right now, Fair Dinkum, if yer in coooeeee when she's done maybe she'll give you a hollar cause she's a top sort a sheela"

[AstralCrux]

Ah, the Aussie accent! The only accent known to make me completely tongue-tied. And I talk for a living- mostly. I was checking in a guest from AUS and could barely get words out- words mind you that I repeat over and over every day. I actually just started making strange sounds. It was horrible! Anyway, when you come to Detroit I'm gonna save myself some time and duct-tape my mouth shut.

Hi, welcome to the board!

[Homicidalheathen]

Hello, I do hope you grace us with your presence at City Club so we can hear your voice in person and meet you! Heehee!
