Detroit meet up

[Walsh75]

I just got off the phone with HockeyTown Cafe right next to The Fox in Detroit.

Basically I want to take a head count to see who may be interested in going to eat and drink before the show there.

The woman was very nice. She said if you come before 5pm there should be no problems getting seats. They only take reservations for 8 or more.

But if we want to have a big group of us, for 20-30 or more people, they will fit us in an upstairs VIP room along the lines of the meet up for Van Morrison last year.

She said they don't take these reservations after 5pm. I told her 4:30pm sounded good to me. I like to get there early then go to the venue at least 45 mins before the show starts to find my seat and buy stuff. And I know some of you may need to arrive late or leave early for your "will call" tickets.

I didn't book anything yet. She told me to take a head count here if I can and get back to her by the end of April.

Some friends are driving me and there will be three or four of us but I'm the only one going to the show so far. If I have no takers here, then we'll just get our own table. But I'd like the more fans, the merrier, if possible.

See other thread regarding all this, Walsh... I'm sure you are, but just in case.

Hi, this is Jeff, better known as disdat, who posted something elsewhere about meeting at a bar in Detroit. I'm afraid I caused some confusion; sorry bout that, this is my first time that I've written anything in a forum, and I didn't scan carefully enough, I guess. Anyway, I mentioned the Centaur; apparently that's not as close as I thought it would be, and I'm open to suggestions. I am interested in having drinks with other Leonard Cohen fans, and I'm coming with one other person.

No worries. I just cut and pasted what was here in the one you made. I just hope the word gets out enough to where it's a good get together no matter where we end up.

Centaur is in walking distance, and as they promote it, it is behind The Fox. But with The Fox being so big, it still is a few blocks walk. Probably about 2-4 mins. depending on how fast you want to walk.
