Shit yeah I'm going!!!

I mean, yeah, I'm bringing at least one friend of mine and my little sister.

[Im The Dude]

wooooo!

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

I'll be rocking my fucking face off like a mother fucker at that show up front hopefully.  can't wait.

I absolutely HATE the venue.  I used to think it was great when it was still the State Theatre, but now security spends all their time yelling at people who are using their cell phones, shining flash lights in peoples faces for the entire show, and taking any and all water bottles from people as they leave the venue.  My sister was told that if she took a picture with her phone that it would become property of Live Nation and be confiscated.  Yet when people were standing on top of their seats in the balcony, they claimed they couldn't do anything about it even though it was blocking the view for an entire section of people.  Assholes.  They do have free apples though...

Sorry for the rant, I've been drinking a bit.

I was thinking about going but it kind of conflicts with my whole "Dont Get Shot" policy.

Im originally from detroit, so i am planning on going. but detroit, especially at night, is indeed dangerous.
but its not far from the interstate, so im going to tough it out and go anyhow.

There's parking at Comerica Park, right across the street from the venue.  It's like $10-$12.  I've also parked in an underground ramp down the street a bit.  Only once have I been threatened by anyone in Detroit.  It was a bum and my friend was wearing a pink shirt and I have long hair.  Apparently that makes us homosexuals and he followed us for a block yelling, "Don't be holdin' hands on my block or I'll knife you!".  

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

it's not dangerous - it's just that you "don't feel safe".  

[getinthevan]

This is very true.

Do you know if there is safe on the street parking? Is it a really bad area? I'm from pittsburgh and there's a lot of bad places around here.

[getinthevan]

I actually don't have any idea about street parking.  

[Im The Dude]

O, so there is a parking garage across the street? The whole reason for going is that is going to be an inside venue. Which I've seen them in last time a few years ago. My friends and I are making a weekend trip out of it too.

[getinthevan]

There's two parking lots across the street.  Literally, you can walk out of your car, across the street, and into the venue.  If you get there early you shouldn't have a problem getting a spot.  There's all sorts of places to park around there at varying costs and with varying levels of security.

[Im The Dude]

Cool man, I'll see you there.

Anyone else...there has to be more people going.

[tuumi]

I park about two blocks behind The Fillmore/State.  There are people who wave you in parking lots but there are spots right on the street for free. I have a small Subaru so it's probably not a high interest target.  Been going to the area for years and never had a problem. I'll admit though it must be scary looking to visitors.

I used to think the same thing about my '98 Tracker.  After three break-in's, I'm think I'm just unlucky.  But only once was in Detroit and that was at Harpo's which is in a shit part of town anyways.  

[Im The Dude]

yea, that sucks. Let's hope we are all safe for the night of MMJ up in Detroit.

[stevenflow1989]

See everyone there! And to who said that Detroit wasn't dangerous, but you just feel really unsafe, yeah that's the best way to put it. Just try to mind your own business and don't wander too far from the venue and the football/baseball stadiums. It gets scary quickly. Try to check out a map before the show too so you can get out quickly without the threat of getting lost.

And just be smart where you park. If an abandoned gas station lets you park there for 5 bucks and doesn't give you a parking ticket and everyone looks scary including the dog, park somewhere else.
