Local Dermatology Center helps skin patients

I recently attended a open house for Northwest Dermatology Group- and had to acknowledge that they really help people with skin issues beyond just cosmetic change. After signing up and getting into several drawings for free services we saw demonstrations from product manufacturers and procedures like Hydro-skin care that help remove wrinkles, spots and other more serious skin issues.

Revision- one of the product teams at the Open House

All of the vendors and product vendors for peeling and water therapy equipment were very nice. They demonstrated the machines and products. They do work! The hydro therapy really seemed to help my hand (the demo area).

The Food & drink buffet for the attendees!

From all of the photos of before and after of real patients I am sold on them being an asset to the community! Lucky I don't need their services now but had a great time talking to the Doctors and Vendors!

The Mega 80's Band soothes the lost souls of Generation X

I've been to several MEGA 80's Concerts but this one was probably one of the best! Since 2002, Mega 80's had continually won local Newspaper votes on being the best 80's cover band in Detroit. This 5-piece has consistently mimicked classic 80's new wave and other hits. One of my favorite off-spring Bands featuring these men is "Music For The Masses", a Depeche Mode Tribute Band. They are spot-on the sound and mannerisms of Depeche Mode!

MEGA 80's IN THE ZONE!

This night the crowd was especially into the music, the sing-along and favorite parts of songs were enjoyed by the big crowd. This Band only seems to be getting better! The Magic Bag provides a great place to play- the crowd is always great and I never have any issues with the place.

It's great to hear music from my generation that one grew up on. Kinda like getting all of your high school together and having a party or something! Til next time MEGA 80's! 

                     MORE PICTURES & VIDEOS!

Carey always has fun with the crowd!

Zombie Prom isn't so "Promy" at the Emerald Thearter

Zombies, high school, scary movies- this was a no-brainer! I have also never been to the Emerald Theater before. Online it looked cool! Hailed as a zombie prom, I expected it like high school!

One of the Couples at the Zombie Prom

Wow I was really excited and bought Opera Seats (As I get older I can't deal with the crowds or the hassle of blocked views, cell phones videoing in front of me and so much more stupidness). I like Mount Clemens- I frequent a few resturants and Weirdsville Records/Cinema (another story perhaps soon!)

THE THEATER

Mount Clemens always seems to have plenty of parking (at least when I go later in the day). We got a spot almost in front of the theater. That kinda didn't bode well. Was no one going? I met 3 ladies getting ready so that was cool and dressed as Zombies but a few others I passed weren't talkative and barely dressed as my favorite undead.

The Marquee during the Zombie Prom

The ticket booth folks were nice as the obvious contract Security Company that checked pursues and bags that this place maybe got rougher with the harder music crowds. They were great throughout the night. When going in I tried to talk to a group of 4 and asked what kind of Zombie one of the guys was and he yelled in my face, "shutup!" The night was not going well. I felt it would get worse as alot of people (and it wasn't busy til ROCKSTAR, the 80s Band came on) were not even dressed as Zombies. They were other characters or Cosplays. No one was mingling or anything. Staying in their own cliches.

People were not mingling- not alot of fun til ROCKSTAR came on

The theater was BEAUTIFUL. No seating below for obvious concerts but box seating to the side and seating on the second level. However it was standing room in the lower area- no Prom seating. Basically a concert.

DJ Red's costume was great!

THE SHOW

DJ RED was in a great Halloween outfit and walking around taking pictures with the guests. His DJing is pretty good but not unique as he played 80s tunes with no mixing or anything. It was okay. ROCKSTAR was amazing! They dressed as undead hairband members (they are a talented 80's genre rock band anyway!) They put on a good show with Zombies walking out to attack the coffins they arise from soon after to start the Concert. They were on-mark musically, interacted with the crowd and i loved it!

ROCKSTAR WAS AWESOME!

               VIDEO!  ROCKSTAR'S OPENING WAS RAD!

THE STAFF

They were all really nice except that one snobby bartender that seems to occupy all venues. Overall really great! The Owner even came up to us and gave us a refund on the box seats as we were the only ones who paid and he began (I think) letting none payers into the VIP seating area at about the time ROCKSTAR came on.

The Owner of the Emerald Theater was very cool

IN SUMMARY

I would probably not come next year as it was a let down on the following fronts:
(1) The people who go here are kinda cliquish and snobby 
(2) The Prom was not a Prom at all- It was a concert

The Warrior Dash Obstacle Course 5k challenges some Oakland County Residents

Since 2009, a Race/Run has been challenging Michigan and some Oakland County residents in Mt. Morris, Michigan- Warrior Dash. This 5k run entangles the participant in 12 obstacles in addition to a run involving sandy and forested areas. Some of the Obstacles include a lagoon swim, fire pit and covered-trench crawling. One can always go around the Obstacles but it is much more fun to try to conquer them! Sold as "anybody can do it" run, this race is definitely for those in shape like the Oakland County Residents we found after the race. 

Monty, Taryn and Eden of Auburn Hills had a great time at the race. "Taryn and I had run it a couple of years before; Eden wasn't old enough before so we all wanted to participate as a family" Taryn and Eden runs cross-country." This happy Family was in great spirits and very nice.

Along with a mobile Restaurant and other Drink Kiosks was a free-standing large food cart. We met Laurie of Davison , the proud Mother of Anna's Bananas Owner Anna, a 19-year old Business Student."(Anna) wanted to start a small business while she's in college so when she's ready to graduate she can go alittle bit bigger...like a food truck". The Ice Cream Stand was busy. "We sell ice cream, novelty ice cream and frozen bananas in Chocolate- people can add sprinkles it they want" Business has been very good as it's so hot outside- everyone needs ice cream afterwards"

There were fun games for the kids which in included a slide-line for kids to have fun sliding along a rope several hundred feet. The large food area was bustling with activity with tired but happy runners. A DJ played the popular tunes as several people danced.

Kristen from Oakland County was playing the Cornhole game after her run. She said the race "was really fun; this has been my first experience and I have already said I want to come back"

Jessica, Operations Manager for Warrior Dash was more then happy to talk to us. "The Race is going great today. I know it's a hot one but people are surviving and I think they are having alot of fun". This event is the second largest and "one of our favorite venues" for Red Frog Events LLC, a well-known entertainment Company out of Chicago. They have Races in 23 States this year in addition to non-race events ad Festivals.

Another Run was done but next year who know what new Obstacles will try to stop Oakland County Runners who travel to this "Warrior Nation" test near Flint-the phrase Warrior Dash likes to call it. Fun, Fitness and challenging oneself is alive at Warrior Dash.
