so, i think i may have found my open all night, every night bar in downtown detroit after all, and i've been walking right by it for years. shit, huh? it's close enough to the tunnel that i can even get back to it if i miss the bus by two minutes.

well, i know what to do if i'm out all night on a friday or a saturday. but, i've had to leave early to catch the 1:10 bus on a random tuesday or wednesday. and, it's kind of a piss off, because it would be easier to deal with the situation on a weekday morning than a sunday morning. if i miss the 1:10 bus, i have to wait until 6:30. best case scenario, i could stay at a 2:00 am bar until 2:30, and get back to the tunnel at 3:30. that's three painful hours. more realistically is a four hour wait.

what i've needed is an all night dance club with cheap cover. finally finding this place - which i was sure didn't exist - is a potentially liberating turning point. it gives me back five nights a week...

but, there's a catch: it actually looks like a slightly scary place. it would have to be, though, by definition.

how scary could it really be at 4:00 am on a tuesday, though? gah.

here's a litmus test: can i find a news report of anybody getting shot here?
