What To Do List for the First Week of June:

I was busy flipping through my paper planner (yes, I still use a paper planner...deal with it) and I realized that there are a lot of fun things coming up in the next week here in Detroit Rock City. So, I thought I would give you a quick rundown of all the fun things you should be doing!

W.A.B. Half Off Food Night (22646 Woodward Ave., Ferndale) - Another weekly event that we do not like to miss! I love to pop into the W.A.B. for a good, cheap dinner and a great beer!
