In a brand new indication that laying off the sauce would be a bad ass idea, I just remembered something that really happened on November 18th.
Amateis and I went to The Detroit Munny Show! It was held in a small designer shoe store in downtown Royal Oak called LiFT and it was absolutely packed. There were several multi-tiered glass cases with the entrants' custom-painted Munny figures positioned inside with the occasional handmade prop to match. A lot of them were pretty well-done but a few were really outstanding and indicated some serious crafty abilities. Unfortunately there aren't any pictures, it was just way too crowded in the store. Various oafs almost knocked over the display cases numerous times.
One of the nicest surprises of the night was finding out that LiFT sells lots of designer vinyl and plush toys even when they're not hosting a show. Specifically, I had a near-deadly nerd heart attack when I found the mini FriendsWithYou plush dangly toys. Basically, FWY have been my favorite designers of any kind for years now and I'd never gotten to see their toys in person until the Munny show. I nabbed a Malfi and a Red Flyer for only like six dollars each. They are nice, to say the least. It's also nice to know things like this actually do happen locally, too.
That's it for the past! Next week I should have some juicy adventure material seeing as Jeff and I are booking it up north on Friday and spending this weekend at the cabin where there aren't any laws that we know of.

Laying off the sauce is good, but getting sauced and watching crappy 80's movies is better.
You know we get along because you absolve me of all responsibility for my actions, right?
A couple photos of the show are at http://www.hometownlife.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061124/LIFE/611240319&SearchID=73264657468598.
Thanks for the link!
