TWaSbL Year in Review: TigerFest 2011

Out of all the TigerFests I've been to (since the 2006 'fest at Joe Louis Arena, and all five at Comerica Park), this year's TigerFest had to be the coldest one of all. TigerFest was a well attended event, and many in attendance enjoyed the festivities, despite the weather and long lines in many of the autograph and photo lines. THe high points of the Fest were seeing the Tigers (of course) and listening to the Question and Answer sessions. The low points were just waiting in those long lines.

TWaSbL Year in Review: Detroit Auto Show

The Auto Show is an event not to be missed in Metro Detroit. This year was no exception. The show had many new reveals, as well as old models making a comeback, lke the Buick Regal nameplate. My favorite car at the show were the Smart Cars (one shown above in green is my favorite) My other favorite cars came from the Big Three: Chrysler, Ford and General Motors. People mingled around Cobo during the show, and seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. I look forward to seeing what the 2012 show will offer.

Tiger Fun

Hey again, everyone. I'm sorry I haven't written in what seems like forever. I needed some time to get myself together and to get some things taken care of, so thanks for being patient. I post this picture today, from September 10, 2011, because my favorite team, the Detroit Tigers, are cruising to a playoff spot. As you all know, I like the Tigers, and enjoy going to see them. The team has been playing very well as of lately, and as of today (September 14, 2011), have a 12 game winning streak! I hope to see the team make a good run to the playoffs and to the World Series. I always put on my Twitter feed that I'm anticipating a #TigerVictoryParade.

YouTube Friday-Anka, Hamilton, & Nash - The Teen Commandments

Here's an interesting dialogue I first heard on Canadian Radio recently, called "The Teen Commandments" (via oldiesrnow's YouTube Channel). These commandments ring true nowadays. My favorite "Teen Commandment" is the 7th commandment. I think if there were a 2011 edition of this, there would be something on there about text messaging, postings on the internet-mainly Facebook and Twitter-and things of that nature on the song. What would you put on your "Teen Commandments"?

Froggy Day

Happy Independence Day, TWaSbL-ites! Hope you guys are having a great day. I took a little road trip today to Ohio, and I saw this frog sculpture at the parking structure I was at. I remember when the city had many of these frogs around the downtown area back in 2001. I specifically remember frogs dressed as a prince, a king, and a policeman. I liked the frogs, and they reminded me of the "CarTunes on Parade" here in Detroit during the summer of 2005, and the Tigers in 2007.

YouTube Friday: Charity Brown - Anyway You Want - 1975

Here's a video of a song I heard on Canadian Radio recently (via vincei2006's YouTube Channel). It's of Charity Brown's song "Anyway You Want". This song isn't that commonly heard here on American radio, but is heard on Canadian Radio and Satellite radio.

YouTube Friday-The Guess Who - Dancin' Fool

Here is a video of a song I like from The Guess Who. I saw this video on cooldudebailey's YouTube Channel after hearing this song on Canadian Radio. This is one of the Guess Who's many hits. I especially like the cover of the album that's pictured here.
