All Birthdays Should Be Celebrated With 12-Course Meals
Much of yesterday was spent running around the house trying to get the place in order while we furiously packed for our week-long trip to Detroit, MI that starts this afternoon. Because it was our dear friend Darion’s birthday, David and I paused from our franticness to meet up with him and Kirsten for dinner at XIV for a 12-course meal to celebrate Darion’s Golden Birthday (he turned 28 on the 28th). Here is a pic of us at the restaurant last night:

Last night’s visit to XIV was the first for both Darion and Kirsten and they loved it … we all did … up until the 10th, 11th and 12th courses showed up and then we hated our lives. We kept eating but we still hated our lives ;) It was really fun. Darion will be continuing his birthday extravaganza all weekend long … it pains me to be missing out.
But … Detroit, here we come!! We leave for the airport this afternoon and will arrive in Detroit early enough to go out tonight. Tomorrow, Mark and I will be attending Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals at Joe Louis Arena to cheer on the Red Wings and then Sunday is our second Nine Inch Nails concert … and the week carries on from there. It’ll be good to be back in the Motor City … I’ve missed it. So … I’ll be comin’ atcha from the Midwest all week long starting tomorrow — holler!
