Yeah. Today was the annual saturday in our area where this one long stretch of highway called Woodward Avenue. They have what's called the Woodward Dream Cruise every year. People come from all over the US, michigan, and the parts of canada which are close to michigan to participate in this. They said in local papers they were expecting 1.7 million people to attend. and, the highlight of it is all the classic cars out. It isn't too unusual that our state would have such an event.. i mean. if you consider that detroit is called the motor city.. birthplace of the automobile and also home to the world's largest international auto show every january. It's only fitting we also have a big cruising event. This cruise runs from... 8 mile and woodward. and straight up woodward until about... 20-23 mile road? It runs for quite a ways. This road, woodward once upon a time was a big time railroad line, but once the cars and streets took over, it was converted into a major highway. It is hugely fun. In fact, I was telling Sarace while we were cruising on up the avenue, we should try to get as many gaians from michigan or the local canadian area to all meet up and have a mini gaia real life gathering there. It would be great! and, they moved the dates up for our state fair to coincide with the dream cruise! we could have like 2 days of gaia meeting and greeting. We could all go to the fair one day and cruise the next. And, even if you don't own a classic cruiser; there are places that rent them out. It's super huge. They even show this on the discovery channel. It is teh world's largest single day auto event!!!
Maybe if i can work it out; i can have my sweetie take some pics of me with the webcam so i can show off the tshirts i got this year. they are both tank tops. One is white with teh woodward highway sign on it, and the other is black with a harly davidson rip off design. says woodward cruise 2005.
If anyone reads this and would be interested in such a meet and greet, please post here. sometime in mid to late spring next year, i'm going to organize a thread to showcase all the people who are interested to go so i can provide lists of local motels, hotels, rental places etc for this.
