Ok, so I got a lot of good advice in response to my June 3 post, and a lot of additonal good stuff from EastCoaster's Detroit discussion from yesterday. I'm going to be there July 19. My tentative evening plans have been narrowed down to Flight Club, Criket, Bogart's, Henry VIII, maybe Subi's, sequence TBD. I'll probably have to pare that list down a bit further, but maybe not. I could just walk into a place, find it dead, and move on, so I guess I'll just figure that out on the fly. I still have a couple of questions for the Detroit experts:
-
Last time I was in Detroit a couple of years ago, I went out to 8 Mile during the day/early evening and had a fun time at the Colliseum. Any recommendations for a daytime visit in the 8 Mile area with comparable fun as Coliseum? Or has the LE activity I've read about here put a damper on the fun in that area to the extent I should just skip it?
-
Negotiating with the dancers. I think I've seen references here to negotiating for flat fees with no song counts. Is that the way it's usually done in Detroit? Most of the place I have been to the dance count is the baseline, and anything you work out with the dancer is on top of that. A little insight here on would be appreciated.
I’d skip 8 mile. Prices up front always. You don’t have to fuck around here and even talk about dances. Be specific as to what you want and start low as to what you’re willing to pay. Have fun be safe
