Played a couple concerts on Mackinaw Island in Michigan. Very ummm.......interesting(?) place. It's up at the northern tip of Michigan and we had to: take a little ass prop plane from Detroit to a little ass airport called Pellston....it had stuffed bears....like, big bears that had been hunted then visited the taxidermist.....a few stuffed dear - kind of different for an airport, right?? Anyway, then we piled into a van and drove to a high speed ferry. Ferried across (what we think was) the convergence (sp?) point of the Great Lakes to Mackinaw Island THEN took a horse drawn "taxi" (no motors on the whole island...NONE....bikes and big ass horses ONLY) to the Grand Hotel. Not really diggin' the hotel....it's OLD-SCHOOL...formal attire after 6pm... HA!!!! You KNOW your boy had to rebel against that one...ain't rockin' no formal attire just to eat dinner, mannnnn!!! Anyway, forgot my camera at showtime, but here's some pics I got of the grounds. Didn't take too many pics 'cuz honestly? The whole place reminded me of history books I saw in school of plantations down South back in slavery days. Almost ALL of the working staff were black or brown (the majority were Jamaican, lots of Hispanic folks and a few Polish scattered here and there) and ALL of the patrons were white. The vibe was STUFFY to say the least. Now, understandably that place was NOT the cooly vacation spot for a forward thinking, progressive lifestylin', quasi-hippy, city boy like me!! Anyone who might be reading this who's from Mackinaw Island, or has deep endearing ties to the place...don't worry 'bout me...I just call it like I see it and keep it movin'. One Love.
