Yesterday was a bizzy day for me … but since it was my only full day here in Detroit, I had to pack in as much as possible. First, Tracey brought over my beautiful goddaughter Princess Zakiya and her little BFF Toni for an afternoon of shopping and playtime. She turned 4 this past Wednesday so we had some celebratin’ to do. Z will be starting school this Fall (WHICH I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE) so we shopped for school clothes and some toys for both the little ladies. Sarah came with us … here are a few pics:

Afterward, Sarah and I got ready and made our way to downtown Detroit to see Tori Amos play a show at the Detroit Opera House. Last night’s show was the third of her Sinful Attraction Tour that Sarah and I got to see … and Tori did NOT disappoint! She looked and sounded AMAZING:

I took A LOT of photos so — after the jump, check out more pics from last night’s Tori Amos concert along with the show’s setlist, a short vid of Raspberry Swirl that I recorded and see some pics of some of the Pink readers I got to meet last night …

Of the 3 shows that Sarah and I got to see, this was deffo my fave. Not only did we get to see Tori at home in Detroit but the crowd and the atmosphere really made for a magical night. Tori shows in Detroit are always extra special, she just comes alive here. Here is the full set list from last night’s show:

Pancake, Seaside, Winter, Sugar and Talula were highlights for me … what a great show. Here is a short video of Tori performing Raspberry Swirl … it was filmed with my iPhone so the sound quality ain’t great … but you can get a taste of how much fun the show was:

I have to give a shout out to Pink readers Ryan, Cody, Colleen, Ashley, Karen and her husband … it was a pleasure meeting you all. Here are pics of me with Cody, Colleen & Ashley … plus my BFF Sarah and my D-Town homie Sergio:


After the show, Sarah and I met up with Sergio at Bosco in Ferndale for some drinks and convo. It was a night of scintillating conversation, the perfect nightcap on a perfect night.

But, alas, my time in Detroit is practically over … I fly out this afternoon so I’ll be off to the airport shortly. I’ll be comin’ atcha back on the West Side tomorrow morning! I love you Detroit, thank you for a short but very sweet weekend!!!
