 Must first appologize for the delay!!!

 Anyways, is this a venue for bands to play? Is this a place that accepts metal, or is it another one of those Ann Arbor(ish) hippie/ alternative junk places that are running rampant throughout the area?

 I guess any place with great long islands must be O.K.......right!!!!  See ya next weekend!!

The Peanut Barrel doesn't have live music, so far as I know... but there are several places within a couple of blocks that do. Sorry if that was confusing.

East Lansing in particular, since it is next door to the university, isn't a place where you'll find a lot of metal venues. Downtown Lansing is different, though. You get away from all the "students" and the music scene changes a lot. There are several local metal bands around here that play regularly at places downtown.

See you tomorrow! I didn't get my Mustang done, but I'm comin' anyway. There's a CFI refresher course going on at AZO at the same time, and I'm up for renewal... but I'm skipping it and going to the model show. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

 To be honest, I don't even remember getting on the computer last night. I'd say, them was some good Long Islands!!!

Woke up at 4:30am feeling great, watched a couple episodes of Married with Children, cleaned the garage, set up a treestand, took 2 dumps, played my guitar for 1/2 hr, shot my bow(deer season's right around the corner), all by 9:00am. Now, I'm still trying to figure out what the heck to do with the rest of my day.

 I'm right off M-36/US23 about 1/2 way between 94 & 96. Last time I went, I took 23 to 94. So, you'd come out 696/96 to 23? or 94 through Detoilet. Plenty of time to figure something out! I know, I'll have 2 large boxes. I got a 4door sebring, plenty of room, good size trunk to bring home all the goodies(that must be smuggled back to the recesses of the stash!)

its no argument buddy...more a "misunderstanding". i said it was about a 1/2 hour from chicago and chas said i needed map quest as it wasnt even close. i wasnt really worried or trying to say that it was only a 1/2 hour away so much as just simply saying it was on that side of the state closer to chicago!!! however, people in here lately have been real combative and irritable (myslef included) so i guess it's just what's going on lately. whatever though as i have more important things to worry about than if k-z is actually 1/2 hour or an hour or 15 hours away!!! it was just a broad generalization that i guess in here you have to be 100% specific all the time!!! but chas and i are cool as i know what he was trying to say so no big deal! Thumbs Up [tup]

as far fermis picking me up...that too was a joke buddy...just in case you didnt get it...this really sux i have to be so literal but if that's what it takes so be it (no fun in that but whatever). i wold like to go, but i would like to go with someone else even more!!! maybe the guys in my ipms will go...who knows!

I'll probably be there. Might bring a build or two, we'll see.

By the way, what's with this "How far is it from Chicago to K-Zoo" argument? It's 140 miles. Confused [%-)]
