My Sunday here in Detroit was a pretty fantastic day … it was prolly my fave day of the trip thus far because I got to spend some time with my mom and dad in celebration of Mother’s Day. I chilled with my folks for a while at my childhood home before we stepped out for a nice Mother’s Day Brunch together. Last night, I made my way downtown to see The Breeders live in concert and then made it home in time to watch the Detroit Red Wings defeat the Anaheim Ducks on TV. See? Great day :D 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.

Once again, I made my way home to Detroit Rock City so that I could spend some time with my parents and friends. Mother’s Day is this Sunday, as you should know, and I wanted to come back and spend the day with my mom since I didn’t get to hang out with her much on my last visit. The rest of my weekend is bizzy bizzy with lots of fun activities planned. Over the course of the next few days I’m planning to see the Detroit Red Wings play some hockey, the Detroit Tigers play some baseball, in addition to attending a couple of concerts. The fun gets underway tonight but … my BFF Sarah and I managed to get the party started a bit early last night. More »

Last night was a MOSTLY fun night for me considering I got to watch the Detroit Red Wings in action AND I got to see another Prince concert all in the same night, all in the same city. PLUS, I got to hang out with a dear friend so … yeah, it was a pretty sweet night. The early part of my night got underway at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA where I got to see the Detroit Red Wings face the Anaheim Ducks in a Stanley Cup 2013 playoff game. Afterward, I made my way to The Grove of Anaheim to see Prince play his final SoCal concert on this tour. It was at the concert that I got to meet and hang out with Ashen. Fun Fun Fun!!! More »

Last night I made my way down to Anaheim, CA to see a couple of back-to-back concerts by the one and only Prince and his new band 3rd Eye Girl. When I found out earlier this year that Prince was embarking on a mini-tour of the West Coast, I knew I had to see at least a couple of shows. At each concert stop, Prince has been performing two sets per night on two consecutive nights, giving fans a chance to see him 4 times in just a couple of days. Last night was the first night of back-to-back shows and I was lucky enough to attend both. More »

Back in March we learned that Prince was embarking on a short West Coast tour of the US with his new band 3rd Eye Girl. Tonight, Prince and 3rd Eye Girl will play the first 2 of four shows at The Grove of Anaheim, CA. I was lucky enough to secure tickets to 3 of the 4 shows and I will be seeing 2 of those shows tonight … back to back. The first show will start at 8PM, the second will start at 11:30PM. It’s going to be a long night of funk for me :D More »

For Inspiration

>The TV Guide
Posted by: Trent on May 6, 2013| 2 Comments

Because I had an entire day to play yesterday, I decided that I wanted to do something that was fun but also nurturing. I’ve been in desperate need of inspiration lately so what better place to refill my soul than at an art museum. I can’t say that I consider myself a patron of the arts but I do like to purchase museum memberships so that I can feel like I am supporting access to the world’s most amazing artists and their artwork. When I lived in Michigan, I was a member of the Detroit Institute of Arts. For the last few years, I’ve been a member of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The LACMA is exhibiting a retrospective of Stanley Kubrick‘s work and it seems like everyone I know has already seen it. Yesterday was my day to finally check out the exhibit and spend some time roaming the galleries at the LACMA. More »

¡Feliz Cinco De Mayo!

Today may be Cinco de Mayo but I got my celebration on a day earlier when I met up with Emma and Josh at an aptly named new Mexican gastropub in Westchester called Cinco. I spent part of my afternoon on the West side, chillin’ in Santa Monica, when I met up with Emma and Josh around dinner time for grub. In year’s past, we’ve celebrated Cinco de Mayo together so this year I think we subconsciously decided to get to celebrating a bit early. More »

May The 4th Be With You

Happy Star Wars Day, y’all! As you should know by now, to day is May 4th which has been dubbed in recent years as Star Wars Day because of the phrase May the 4th Be With You. I mean, only a nerd of the highest degree could come up with something so brilliant. Many folks choose to spend the day involved in some sort of Star Wars-related celebration but I think I’ll quietly celebrate the day in my heart … and possible with a Han Solo t-shirt. More »
