Yesterday was my last full day here in Detroit so I did my best to make the most of it. Sarah took the day off from work so that we could hang out and play in the city before my short holiday came to an end. We spent the day in downtown Detroit hitting up some of our favorite spots then I hung out with my parents for a short while before Sarah and I went back downtown to see Peter Murphy in concert at the Magic Stick. We ended the night on the couch in Sarah’s Den of Slack watching bad TV together. All in all, a pretty perfect day. More »

Yesterday was another fun-filled day here in Detroit Rock City … even if the weather started to get a little stank midway thru the day. My friends and I started our day in Royal Oak, MI where we lunched and shopped before making our way downtown to cheer on the Detroit Tigers as they faced off against the Cleveland Indians. While the weather was nice and warm in the day, it got much colder, windier and wetter as evening fell. We kinda froze our buns off at the game but we had a lot fun … even if the Tigers lost a little bit :) More »

Last night was a really superfun night here in Detroit as my friends and I made our way to the Joe Louis Arena to cheer on the Detroit Red Wings as they faced the Anaheim Ducks in Stanley Cup playoff action. As you may recall, I saw these two teams in action on Wednesday night back home in SoCal and the outcome of that game wasn’t all that great. I am happy to report that my beloved Red Wings pulled out a huge victory last night, beating the Ducks 4-3. Click below to see a few fun photos from last night’s game and share in my ecstatic glee.

A Quick Run Home

Posted by: Trent on March 7, 2013| 12 Comments

I’m flying back home to Detroit today for a quick weekend visit home. A bunch of my friends are running the annual Corktown 5K on Sunday and I decided to run the race with them. I’m still a little bummed that I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with my parents on my last visit home so I’m hoping to get in a little more hang with them on this quick trip home. I understand it’s a bit chilly in The D right now but I’m very much looking forward to seeing my family, friends and beloved hometown. More »

Nightclubbing

Yesterday turned out to be a fun day even if things didn’t work out exactly as planned. I was hoping to surprise my parents by showing up on their doorstep for my dad’s birthday yesterday but my secret was too good … because I wasn’t able to surprise them at all. Long story short, I spoke with them on the phone to ensure that they would be home for me to pop over and go SURPRISE! But by the time I got there, they had already gone out for the night. HELLO?! How is it that my parents have a more active social life than I do? The plan is to reschedule the surprise for tomorrow instead. Ah well. Last night turned out to be fun, tho. Sarah, Mark and I made our way to my favorite club in the world City Club and we danced our buns off until the wee hours of the morning :D More »

So, yesterday … whadda day for me. As you may know, I was a bit M.I.A. around these here parts yesterday because I was up EARLY to run the 2012 Detroit International Half Marathon. My day started at around 4AM and it didn’t really end until well past midnight Eastern time. The Detroit Run was pretty much one of the best things I’ve ever been a part of and I’m just really proud of myself for taking up the challenge. After the race, I rested up a bit before Sarah and I made our way to one of Michigan’s amazing cider mills for an afternoon of Fall fun. Then, I hopped a plane back to LA and here I am again. Monday. Click below to check out some photos from my very bizzy but fun day yesterday and see what I got up to. More »

Ready To RUN DET

Yesterday was a great, mostly chill day. I managed to get in a decent short run before my BIG half marathon run tomorrow morning. Yesterday’s was my first “cold weather” run and it was fine … but it’s instilled in me a lot of worry. Blah. The rest of the day was more hectic. I made my way downtown to pick up my runner’s bib for the race and then visited my parents last night. Afterward, Mark and I went to the movies and I called it an early night. Gotta rest up for the Detroit International Half Marathon tomorrow! More »

The Detroit Tigers SWEEP The NY Yankees On Their Way To The World Series

Last night the Detroit Tigers defeated the NY Yankees by a score of 8-1 in a clean sweep of the 2012 American League Championship Series, clearing the way for the team to go straight to the World Series Championship. My BFF Sarah (who is the BIGGEST Tigers fan alive) and I were able to watch the Tigers cream the Yankees in person last night. Because of the rain delay, the game that was supposed to be played on Wednesday night was pushed back to last night … giving me an opportunity to see the game in person. I’m not a big sports fan but last night’s win felt pretty fantastic to me. More »

After far too many months of not getting our schedules together, I was able to hang out with Tracey and my goddaughter Zakiya yesterday evening. After the long drive from Holland back to the Detroit Metro area yesterday, I got to spend time with Tracey and Zakiya for a bit before meeting up with my folks. After that, Sarah, Mark and I drove out to the neighborhood where Sarah and I lived back in the day to hang out at one of our old haunts … the very bar that Jack Kerouac used to hang out at when he lived in the Detroit area about 60 years ago. The day was long but really very fun. More »

Posted by: Trent on September 7, 2012| 1 Comment

Last night was a very gastronomically fun night here at home in Detroit. Sarah, Mark and I went out to indulge in a few of my fave places and we had a blast eating and drinking our way down the list. First up, we went to Royal Oak, MI for a sumptuous sushi dinner at Little Tree. Then we walked over to the Astoria pastry shop on Main St. to indulge in dessert. Then we drove to Berkley, MI for drinks at the Living Room. By night’s end, I was having a great time … as I’m sure you can well imagine. More »
