I loved Bravo Bravo, the benefit for the Opera house. Blondy, maybe you could have a table with doggie treats for people to take home. Email me if you want Liz's number.

Dally is always the Saturday after Labor Day, one day only, unless it rains.

Jazz Fest is always Labor Day weekend.

Two reasons never to go out of town the first couple weeks of September.

Thousands of people? riiiggghhttt....

Hash Bash: a congregation of a few hundred dropout losers and a few hundred rich kids who wish they were. I wish they'd just stay home and get stoned in their parents' basements like the other 364 days of the year.

aram:
You obviously have not been at the same event I have been at. I have photos of thousands of people standing on the diag, and know business owners in Ann Arbor who look at it as Christmas in April. One guy pays the rent for the year off what he does over that weekend.

Toolbox,
Not really my show I just am the mouthpiece.
The event is 35 years old, I have only been involved for the last 15 years. The event is sponsored by MI-NORML. As a activist group here in MI they have passed 3 city ballot inititives in the last two years, and are slated to do 3 more in 2006. I would say that while the event may appear to be a clusterfuck from some peoples point of view, I can assure that MI NORML gets alot out of the event in both perceived and actual value.

The University tried to put an end to the event. They lost in court each time they tried and cost the tax payers thousands in legal fees.

wait a minute, the university costs the city of AA tons, and the fithly rich U does not give the city a dime!

Businesses are taxed and they are all open charging top dollar. Their taxes go to keep the city clean. Let's not forget the extra parking enforcement detail and the income they generate.

This event is a financial windfall for the city, every bar and resturant. I would argue that there is more money spent on campus and downtown on Hash Bash saturday than on a football saturday.

There's hash in Ann Arbor? I've only ever smelled weed at the few MI shows I've been to. Given how much easier hash smoking is to conceal, I'm surprised it's not a bigger 'hit' if it's available... (I've never been to Ann Arbor, though)
