Jason, and to anyone that doesnt live around here.
If you guys that live away from here are thinking of making it a
weekend thing, there are plenty of Hotels around the Tech Center and
Museum. CTC is almost on the corner of Auburn Hills and Pontiac. In
fact, you can see the Silverdome from the Tech Center and Visa Versa.
There is also plenty to do within a 20 minute ride of CTC. There is a
Big Bucks right behind the Tech Center. Its an awesome restaurant and
bar. Cool place to have a bunch of people and hang out for a while.
There is also a ,, ahh, cant remember the name dang it! Its on M59 and
Vandyke. HELP here someone! Its a Giant arcade, restaraunt. Ive only
been to two of them. This one, and the one in Georgia near Merietta.
Did I spell that right? Anyway. There are plenty of things to do for
the weekend.
So if any of this sounds decent to any one let me know!
