Hauntingly
Hot Homegrown label Ghostly International made the August
19th issue of Rolling Stone magazine. Ghostly and its founder, Sam
Valenti IV, showed up on the magazine’s “Hot List”
issue. The label wrapped up a North American tour celebrating its
5th anniversary this August in Detroit.
My name is Jenna, and I am funky I went to see
Prince perform at Joe Louis in Detroit at the end of July. It was
awesome. He told the audience to go home, look in the mirror and
say, “You’re so cool, everything you do is success.”
And I did because you do what Prince tells you to do. But, unfortunately
I was not at the Aug. 1st show at the Palace of Auburn Hills, when
surprise guests Morris Day and the Time hit the stage with a song
or two before The Purple One came out. No reports indicate whether
or not he did The Bird, but he allegedly kept shouting, “Surprise!”
during the songs.
Weiner Insecurity Spotted: tiny little Bush/Cheney
‘04 stickers at a GOP campaign cookout picnic. Where? Securely
affixed over the labels on Heinz ketchup bottles. Not even kidding.
Bye Bye Birdie The Bird of Paradise, located on
S. Main Street in Ann Arbor, closed its doors several weeks ago.
The owner of the jazz grotto, Ron Brooks, could not be located for
comment and the phone lines have been disconnected. If this has
anything to do with the chick fight that occurred there a month
or two ago, we want to know. Send me an email if you’ve got
the scoop. And let’s hope those businesses open soon on that
block—Main Street is looking alarmingly bleak.
Fahrenheit 9-1-1 Eminently hip Ypsilanti boutique
Henrietta Fahrenheit is switching up its location and moving to
Nickel’s Arcade off State Street in Ann Arbor. Owner Jennifer
Albaum slates the opening day to be September 7th, if all goes as
planned. According to Albaum, the move is being made because of
a greater demand for the store to be “a little closer.”
