weekend recap. absurd. absurdly good.

what a weekend indeed! (i'm thinking this one will go down in the record books, certainly for the rampant WTF factor. ;) it's all about extremes and balance! from the culinary excellence of servito's cupcakes, russell street deli and multiple gorgings of olso sushi to the depths of grade G beef hearts (mmmm coneymeat!) city bites and american coney island at 4am...they all have their place and were all perfectly timed, and i wouldn't have changed a thing.



thursday started the weekend early with with a proper birthday celebration (and bon-voyage) for our beloved mr. servito. happy happy! sushi, sake, and amazing cupcakes.



we left a bit earlier than normal due to aforementioned bevy of sake, and there were still a few more days of absurdity to be in good shape for...

friday...on to sex and sedition... (and big thanks to amy for the wonderful mention in her Real Detroit column. :) (and great photo work by the infamous jeffrey paul.)



forty yards of embossed red velvet + one bobcat + one deer head + one broken candleabra + a screening of Titus + four absurd dj's + five hours of electro + one girl dressed as a bear + one real life undertaker + far too much artschool + one half gallon of fake blood...well you can do the math on that. ;)



playlist to follow.

and a bit of trouble for good measure...





saturday...+ two hours of elbow grease + four wasabi bloody marys + a little more sashimi later the wall was white and shinier than new... (phew!)

a few hours later it was off to the Lager House for some team dorkwave lazydj... J+J+J + Goudron = "Hump Tour." those guys get it.





excellent fun was had by all and the inner workings of billboard architecture were closely examined while on a pleasant walk down michigan ave. (nifty.)

sunday was a day of rest, home improvement, fluorescent-lit adventure and synthetic popcorn. perfect!
