It is a really big deal! Why, might you ask? Well, Detroit is arguably <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Detroit_techno#cite_note-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the birthplace of Techno<\/a> and the internet is always right (if you don\u2019t believe me, please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rmx4twCK3_I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see this ad<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>SOOO, if you decide to make a trip to the city, please be aware that there will be a lot of people and traffic in the Hart Plaza\/ Campus Martius area from Saturday to Monday.<\/p>\n<p>If Techno is not your thing, no worries. \u00a0There are still some other great events going on, like the Detroit FC game. \u00a0<em>Side note<\/em>: I attended the Detroit FC home opener last weekend, and it was really awesome. \u00a0The soccer was decent, but the crowd was great. \u00a0The far side bleachers of Cass Tech were\u00a0completely\u00a0full and in motion the\u00a0entire\u00a0game. \u00a0It was a great football (soccer) crowd and I was very pleased with the turnout. \u00a0Now the question remains, was that crowd more filled with curious band wagon fans for opening day, like myself, or is that normally how many fans attend each game? If that is the norm, I will shed my bandwagoness and get a\u00a0season\u00a0pass. \u00a0Overall, for $5, well worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, if you are headed out of town or just planning to relax and BBQ, please enjoy you Memorial Day weekend!<\/p>\n<p>Grab the interactive version here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/isaacgilman\/files\/2013\/05\/D_Blast-5.22_5.29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D_Blast 5.22_5.29<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/isaacgilman\/files\/2013\/05\/D_Blast-5.22_5.29.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-191\" alt=\"D_Blast 5.22_5.29\" src=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/isaacgilman\/files\/2013\/05\/D_Blast-5.22_5.29-1024x723.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a weekend it will be in Detroit. \u00a0Lots of music going to be pumping in downtown Detroit.\u00a0\u00a0Movement Electronic Music Festival (aka Detroit Electronic Music Festival) will be happening this weekend.
