They work. I'm digging all this coverage. I'd actually forgotten how fun it can be reading about these events here on Swirl. Cool photos, videos and stories. I love it.

The t-shirts are great, IMHO. I picked up the baseball T with the III symbol against the Detroit skyline, a black T with the TMR three men symbol "spray-painted" in ghostly white (those are the two I have to exchange this morning because they're really big), and a black hoodie with a diagram of the solar system, which is my favorite that I should probably buy another of because I can imagine I'll wear it out.

When I first got there, they did not have the pamphlet about the chair out, but there were a bunch there later when I walked back to the bathroom before leaving. That little pamphlet is as beautiful as the chair itself, considering the text and the intricate folding pattern. And the pictures taken in process don't do the piece of furniture justice, it really turned out superbly. Will be very interesting to see how it wears through the years there. Oh, and the elephant lamp on the table next to it is adorable.

The other thing I kept wondering is just how loud it's going to be in the back hallway when they've got record presses running 24 hours a day on the other side of that big window.

Thanks...oh good, I assume then that they will have them available for people all the time....it is one of the cooler things I think, and one of the things I'd like to have the most, really. I wondered about the noise, also. Do you think the glass is some industrial no-hear-through glass (assuming such a thing exists)? They must have thought that through.

Yea, I really liked the Detroit III shirt I saw. I was more commenting on the two in those pics, as the one with their faces seems a bit off to me and then I just kind of don't get the dancing couple one, iconographically. I don't know...I need to see them in person.

Thought I'd post this here as well in case anyone is interested. The album is public so should be viewable. The photo uploader here is tedious and there was a lot to share.

Looks as though I missed several things in the shop so I'm grateful for the posts. It was easy to overlook things since Friday was a wonderful mob scene. Spent Saturday exploring Detroit and I wouldn't have traded that for anything.

^^ I did the same after my visit yesterday. Did you make it to the DIA, Ara? Holy heck, that place blew my mind, had no idea it would be so spectacular. As is the Fisher Building (and the Guardian Building, which I saw last summer).

We're going to need to start a thread of things to do/places to eat & stay for Detroit just like for Nashville.

Timmy..

Timmy!! He and The Gories are the things I missed most about not being there Friday. Otherwise, Sunday was a great day to visit. And this morning was fairly empty, only about a dozen people there around 10:30am. Shame I couldn't have stuck around longer (yay for Pennsylvania Turnpike wi-fi).

Maybe the answer is to move to 'Merica.

Really interested in knowing what the Jukebox picture says. Do you have a higher resolution copy of the photo you can share?

Cropped it out of the original and enlarged it a bit. Made it a bit fuzzy, but legible--

I love how it basically is a small museum too.
