Worse than Detroit?

Lily Gonzalez (Bongobird) does her stuff

Detroit? Motortown, Motown, ROCK CITY! Erm, well, nope. Turns out we were in Meadowbrook, a leafy suburb about 30miles away. One of those open air venues that lend themselves to the steaming continental US summer. We arrived at 9am to the sound of birds tweeting and the distant thrum of lawnmowers. A definite college town. Nothing really to do all day apart from wait for the lack of soundcheck in about 9 hours, so went off for a run to try and shake off the sleepless bus ride. Found myself running around vivid green shaded streets, scenes from so many suburban US dramas and films. Stars and stripes flying over manicured lawns. A trip to the local mall for eggs and too much coffee followed by a load of waiting around and then a well attended, fun gig. Not such a bad life today.
