Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 2:21AM | Becks Davis I had a conversation with some folks the other day about events in Detroit. Sometimes, there are two events you want to go to at the same time. Unless you have access to a fantabulous cloning device, you end up missing out on one of them.
Individually, this situation sucks. For the greater Detroit community, however, this is awesome. I love that we have such a diverse assortment of events going on here in the D.
Oh, and if by chance you do have access to a cloning device, hook a girl up!
Weekend Roundup

Don't forget Record Store Day is tomorrow! This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day. http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home
