***MCB does not usually talk smack about much but we cannot let this one go....this party was terrible - it was so jammed (oversold according to our sources) we seriously could not get a drink for nearly an hour because there were not enough bars to serve the hoards of drinkers - it was like trying to get a beer at Gusoline at 1:45am the entire hour and half we stayed....We left the party to get a drink at the bar inside MGM Grand Casino. Good cause...bad party.
Should be called Not The Best of Detroit Party
(my wife dragged me to this party - happy to help a great fundraiser but for the $250 I spent on tickets-parking tip - and the food/drinks I had to purchase at MGM Grand I would have rather just sent a check to Karmanos - AT LEAST GIVE ME BEER WHILE THE SARDINES AROUND ME ARE FIGHTING OVER THE LAST SUSHI PLATE)
