Me, Steve, Richie, & Mike
Friday, August 17th, I worked all night and then headed to The Rockery in Wyandotte. Richie Wohlfeil (Danny and the Darleans, Colorwheel) was guest DJing their weekly event, Soul Deep. There were probably at least a hundred people there; I wasn’t aware that Downriver had such a bumpin’ night life. I worked my way through the crowd and found Richie at the front with one of my favorite people, Steve Nawara (Colorwheel). I hung out with them on the modest stage for about an hour, looking out over the packed room. Halfway through the night, Steve somehow convinced me to dance with him. I don’t ever dance because I’m terrible at it, but Steve gave me some pointers and I actually had a lot of fun. It was strange seeing the two of them Downriver; I’m used to having my home life and night life separate. Everything gelled really well, though; Detroit should head south more often.
