Former Michigander here. I grew up in Jackson and went to EMU. Got tired of the COLD and moved to Raleigh, NC. My heart still bleeds for the damn Lions, too! That's the only thing you can do for the Lions. That's all their fans have ever done. I'm a Cheesehead by birth, green and gold to the bone.

Well, I was born and raised in Westland. Then some 30 years ago I got smart (some may disagree) headed Southeast and never looked back. Now I operate a B&B for my family still up in Livonia, Ypsi, Novi, and Macomb. I'll be there in two weeks for my Dad who is having open heart surgery. Can I ge...

Because it's Vegas Baby! Ultimate land of hedonism and escapism! Some of my fondest memories are from Vegas shows and in general. Of course, I am always headed there when it's mid winter here at home in MI. I'll be online tomorrow morning, clicker fingers poised for a shi*tload of reloading of the t...

Re: family in MI

Hey! born and raised in WI for most of my life (trust me, I am NOT bragging!) My wife and I have family in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Do you consider the U.P. Michigan? It is a whole other world up there, ya-der-hey??? If you want to experience the U.P. check out the movie, "Escanaba In ...

Bob & Tom Radio Show - Paul & Storm parody

Friend told me he heard an incredible song about 'wanna be' parrotheads on the Bob and Tom show yesterday morning. I went to their site, found the name of the guys that did the song, but can't come up with any actual audio file to hear it via either of their web sites. Anyone know this tune? If so, ...

How many Michigan Parrotheads are there here on BN!?

Somone else posted an inquiry about Wisconsin. Although born and raised in WI, my 13 year stay here in MI makes me far more of a Michigander. Few more years and I'll have lived here as long as I did there.

Sound off MI Parrotheads. Where's everyone from?

Although I've been a Michigander for the past 13 years, I grew up in Watertown, WI and have an abundance of (blurry) memories of days gone by at the almighty Alpine Valley attending a wide variety of shows including Jimmy. Each visit I make to Alpine, I comment that if I had all the money I've given...

I've gone from WI and MI as far as FL and Vegas for shows. If I could do it, I'd go anywhere and everywhere to see a show. One of the things I enjoy most while tailgating is meeting people from all over the freakin' planet.

NOTHING beats my blender. Best tailgating accessory I've ever owned. Not only does it make one hell of a margarita or daquiri, it has also made me more than a few pitchers of new friends.

My co-workers and I used to play a game during staff meetings called BUZZWORD BINGO. We'd each make up a card with the most common buzz words and catch phrases that our boss used.

Unfortunately, I was greatly dissapointed by the Ochos Rios M'ville the night I went.

OK, since we're being honest here. When I was but a 'keet in this mad mad parrothead world we live in, I remember singing CALL MY NAME instead of COME MONDAY. That's was a loooooong time ago.

But hey, singing CALL MY NAME to an arena full of beautiful women always worked for me too. :)
