Last year, Detroit’s own Eminem featured in a brilliantly touching Super Bowl television for Chrysler that highlighted the spirit of Detroit, MI. This year, the task of tugging at America’s heart strings was given to actor/director Clint Eastwood. Clint appeared in a Chrysler television ad at the halfway point of yesterday’s Super Bowl and managed to take the beautiful spirit of Detroit and apply it to the rest of the United States of America.

Yesterday was my last day in Detroit and for the most part, it was a great day. I got to relax in the early part of the day with Sarah and Mark as we shared an AMAZING Middle Eastern meal from Cedar Garden in Dearborn, MI. I got to spend a bit of time with parents in the afternoon before I had to be at the airport for my 5:30 flight back to LA. Unfortch, that’s where my good day ended … and my frustrating evening/night got started. It turns out I had a 4 hour delay to endure before I could begin my 5+ hour flight home but … thanks to good ol’ Walt Disney, I was able to survive my much-delayed return home.

After a day of work and recuperation, Sarah opened her beautiful home to a bunch of our friends last night for a big get together/party. It had been a long time since the bunch of us got together to hang out and catch up with one another so we really made the most of the time we had together. Altho not everyone could come out last night, we managed to pull together a pretty full house of dear friends. Click below to check out some fun photos that were snapped at last night’s fete and check out a pretty amazing video of 5-year old Daniel performing a rockin’ rendition of Queen‘s Bohemian Rhapsody.

Altho I’ve been feeling pretty crappy for the past few days I managed to get enough sleep yesterday so that I could rally and get out of the house to hang out with Sarah and Mark last night. To get the night started, we enjoyed a very delicious Cuban dinner at Vicente’s in downtown Detroit before we made our way to the YMCA (where I made a very exciting discovery) and then to City Club for a late night of dancing fun. Despite my stupid cold symptoms, I managed to have a really fantastic night out on the town.

David and I will be making our way back East to Detroit, MI for the rest of the week to celebrate my dad’s birthday tomorrow. Dad doesn’t know that we’re coming … and, thankfully, he’s way too old to even know how to power on a computer so I think the secret is safe. Altho I really am not looking forward to the very cold weather back home in D-town, I am very much looking forward to surprising my Dad for his birthday … and I’m also very much looking forward to seeing my family and friends.

Last weekend, popstar Justin Bieber was in Toronto, Ontario for the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards and this past week, he was in NYC promoting the release of his new perfume Someday. This weekend, the Biebs has made his way back to LA and upon arrival at LAX Airport, he was spotting showing off his LOVE for Detroit Rock City. Bieber was sportin’ a Detroit Tigers baseball cap as he made his way thru LAX … showing the world that he’s got made lurve for Detroit.

On Monday I blogged about the opening of the Detroit-owned and operated new eatery here in LA called Coney Dog. Last night, Adriana, David and I went to Coney Dog to check it out for ourselves. AY and I are big fans of Detroit Coneys so we were hopeful that all the great things we’ve been hearing about the eatery were true … and I am VERY HAPPY to tell you that Coney Dog is 100% a Detroit-style coney island :)

Yesterday was David’s and my last full day in Detroit and we got to spend it with my parents. In celebration of Father’s Day, Sarah, Mark and David joined me and my parent’s for a nice afternoon brunch at the Woodward Avenue Brewery in Ferndale, MI. Because the W.A.B. is the only place left in the Metro Detroit area with a working old skool photobooth, I wanted to make sure that I took the opportunity to get some photobooth photo of my parents. Everyone too their turn in the photobooth but my parents’ photostrip really turned out the cutest ;)

Yesterday was a very fun, very full day. Yesterday afternoon, after Sarah, David and I ran around taking care of a few errands, we met up with Mark and made our way to downtown Royal Oak, MI for lunch at my fave sushi restaurant in the world — Little Tree. After we supped until we were stuffed, we hung out for a bit on Main St. and did a big of shopping at Incognito. Yesterday evening, we got to hang out with Tracey and my goddaughter Zakiya who is growing into a brilliant young lady. Last night, Sarah hosted a small get together of friends … ’twas a very, very fun day.

Last night was a really fun and really laid back for a night in D-Town. I spent my afternoon hanging out with my parents at home and ended up spending a lot of time rummaging thru old boxes looking for stuff to bring home with me to LA. I, thankfully, found a box full of vinyl records and — unfortunately — found my junior high school yearbook. My 8th grade photo is so (terribly) funny that I had to share it with all y’all. Later in the night, my friends and I went out to see Green Lantern. The night ended with ice cream. All in all, a pretty good Friday, I’d say.
