Annie getting down at the auto show

Written by: Dan

Annie, Stacy, Saylor, Kevin, Christy, Marvin, Mary and I went to the charity preview of the Detroit Autoshow.  I had never been to the Autoshow before, let alone the black tie preview.  We met up at MGM Grand before the show and took a shuttle over (highly recommended   Cobo traffic was unreal).

Once inside I was blown away by the event.  It was neat to be in a tux (this event made my finally purchase a tux).  The show wasn't packed, but quite crowded.  I am told this is a good sign from people who have been to the show in years past.  Still, there was enough room to go from booth to booth, see the cars, and talk with people from each company.  We even saw some GM friends.

One nice thing about the show is you can open the cars, get inside, even pop the trunk.  This makes the experience even better.  Beyond the cars, each company has something extra to draw your attention.  From buttons in the chevy booth, small give aways, an even an interactive display (below).

I really liked seeing the new cars.  Annie really enjoyed the old ones.

Happy Birthday Hobee!
