So I've been pretty busy the last couple days. It started on Saturday, Frank was here for a good portion of the day playing pool and games. Then Adam, Paul, Brent and Derek came over for awhile to do the same thing. They didn't leave till about 3, but Adam was staying over so we played DotA for a little while longer.

So we slept for about 2 hours then went to meet everyone at Tim Hortons on Homer Watson Blvd. Then it was off to Detroit! I was driving with Adam and Paul, Andrew was driving with Derek and Brent. We crossed the border without much trouble, then went to the airport to pick up Tom who was in town for work. Went for lunch at some plan with fairly marginal food, then headed to the Cobo Centre in downtown Detroit. We were worried that because it was a holiday it would be really busy, but downtown was crowded with anti-war protesters, and the show wasn't too crowded.

We hung out for a good 5 or 6 hours, saw and sat in dozens of cars ranging from great to marginal. We pretty much avoided the crap though - that is to say, the Kia booth only merited a glance, and the only time we spent in the Ford booth was the time it took to get through to the other side. Some vehicles are just not worth the time.

All in all, we had a really good time and had a lot of fun at the show, especially with the creative cupholders in some cars ;). The future really does look bright in terms of quality and refinement.

We headed back home around 9:30ish, and Tom joined the crew in my car. Since both Tom and Paul had laptops we ended up with a mobile LAN party in my car, with a couple of DotA matches running to pass the time. I got home at about 12:30, stayed up for a few more hours and then absolutely crashed. I must have slept for a solid 9 or 10 hours.

So check out the pictures posted below, and enjoy!
