I understand this. in the political debate regarding the issue (and I'm not about to start one here on either side) I can easily tell who's been in a mass shooting and who hasn't. Note: I'm talking mass public shootings. Not just family violence, which is what the march is addressing.
Having to hide in a darkened apartment in an inner city East Side Detroit neighborhood back in the 80s until the gunman just dissappeared is very unnerving. He had a machine gun of some type and the police flat out told us they weren't coming. that was daily there. just stay low and he'll leave. seriously. that sort of gives you a different perspective on the issue.

Paul trending on Facebook right now
Paul is trending on Facebook right now. It's due to his actions at the current marches. I thought I'd see some postings about it here on the board but I can't seem to find them.
but he got trending on FB due to what he said today

This was great, thanks very much for sharing, oobu. Chris has exactly the right set for each circumstance.
I know several DJ's from the Detroit area and this guy seems way cooler then any of them could ever hope to be

I'm still buzzing from the two shows this weekend. Sunday was excellent and Monday was the needed reprieve from the crazy and sad world surrounding us. I fear that this may be it for Paul in Detroit for another 3-5 years.
Well, we've been a bit spoiled. We got him coming to Grand Rapids a few years ago when he did smaller shows, and then Joe Louis just last year

I tried to see if the waistcoat was on the website but when I went to tour merchandise, it said I had to log in to even look at the pictures of the merchandise (as well as my computer giving me warnings that the site was unsafe and someone could be stealing my information) and my old account info from the now defunct social network didn't work. can anyone else view the tour merchandise page?
oobu24:
I got the same warning. I wonder what that is all about. Maybe the mods should look into that.
I am not able to access the site either and have now passed the information on to our tech team.
thanks. I did also post about it on the section of the forum for reporting technical problems on the website

my veggie diet causes more tooth plaque?
My dentist is amazed at the high amounts of plaque I generate. I've gotten the gum inflamation under control through the use of certain solutions (she doesn't like them but she can't argue with the results) and she says I need an electric toothbrush but she says my plaque is so high despite my care. She then asked me, "Do you eat a lot of carbs?" well, yeah. that's why i'm fat. but i eat a lot of vegan macrobiotic food. Boiled grains like rices, buckweat and quinoa. 4 or 5 days of the week these foods are my main diet with beans. Turns out such a diet causes more plaque buildup. who knew?

RE: MEET THE VEGAN MAFIA
Sustainability is my big concern too. I've had some vegans criticize me for not being into it for animal rights more . I do care about that but the environmental impact (not to mention the macrobiotic food i was eating was healthier) was my main reason for trying the diet

Tour Merchandise page on website
Hey, I just tried to view the tour Merchandise available on the website to show someone something for sale he might be interested in When I first clicked on the Tour Merchandise tab, I got warnings that the site was unsafe. Then it wanted me to log in just to look at the merchandise. My old password and log in information did not work Is it supposed to do that? and if so, how do I sign up again so I can view the page?

RE: One on One Tour Merchandise
What do you guys think of the merchandise selection on this tour? I liked it. At the last one, when he came to Joe Louis in Detroit, I didn't like any of it at all. I bought a shirt but it's not my favorite (just wish it was black and not white) This one? I liked multiple shirts. plus the pin (which I got and have now on my Paul jacket of Paul Pins.) and the key ring. My other Paul key ring vanished after many years. One item captured my interest. it was a waistcoat with stripes on the sleave. $100. (a few guys expressed they wanted it but didn't want to pay the money when they could get 2 shirts for that) I thought it looked too close to John Lennon's iconic green military jacket. Made me wonder about it, Like that button those of us in the now defunct fan club got that resembled a famous John button we all saw through the early 80s only with Paul's face. Seriously. I just wonder. I do associate the green military jacket with John more then Paul. Paul tends to wear black waistcoats most of the time it seems

Went Monday Night and it was a great 3 hours. Thanks Paul. Does anyone know which hotel etc Paul stayed at when in Detroit ?
Monday's show was literally 3 hours - slightly longer than Sunday's show.

Scope going: https://www.periscope.tv/Beatlegal09/1lDxLkPkDYqJm. After Save Us, Paul says it has been a very sad day, but tonight they're going to celebrate the joys of life.
I knew he'd say something. I Had such a mix of emotions yesterday having been at the concert while that was going on. Reminds me of the Batman premier. I had gone to one of those big premiers at the Detroit Science Center that same night with my friends and family and thought, "That could have been us" Made me grateful for the security. sure it's annoying to not be able to bring anything in but at the same time, I'm grateful knowing I was a bit safer. (though nothing can protect you from above even weapons on your person) On a lighter note, I wanted to mention I talked to some great people and I just love the people I meet at Beatles events and Paul concerts. I've met a huge mixture of all sorts, good and needs-to-get-help-and-grow-up and the good ones are so worth knowing. I separated from my spouses (they went to eat while I was too hopped up to sit and chew) once we got there and ended up spending most of my time waiting in line for the merchandise table. a mother/daughter team in front of me had the big glittering swag bags from those expensive seats and those tote bags were impressive. We talked about the food at these dinners (they liked everything this time but the desert though they did confess to having not-so-good food at other dinners) Next to me in our seats was this guy from Canada who was staying overnight. He said he'd try to get in Monday (I wonder if he did) if he could get a reasonably priced ticket. He would sing a line or two along with Paul and it was far from annoying. He had a beautiful voice and did it just enough to show off but not enough to irritate. Only once in a while I'd hear this beautiful harmony with Paul for two lines of a song. He was awesome. He and I both saw Paul for the first time in '93 but he's seen Paul over 20 times now. Yeah. I Love meeting good Paul people.

RE: Detroit, MI-Little Caesars Arena-Oct. 1st/2nd 2017-CONFIRMED
Paul seems to be trying to change up some banter. even did a few puns that made my husband laugh. He talked about when he does a classic song he'll see the stadium light up with phones but during a new song, he said it's like a black hole but He'll sing new songs anyway. I wonder if he can still get people to sing back with him at Everybody's Out There (he tries with that Kanye song)

To much " noise " made during Here Today. Whistles, yells . It was a bit annoying! Whatever happened to the total silence during this song ? But it was still a great show & Paul sounded great too , now for night 2 of Paul in Detroit!
glad I wasn't the only one annoyed there.

RE: Detroit, MI-Little Caesars Arena-Oct. 1st/2nd 2017-CONFIRMED
SO, this morning, as I was playing with my husband's cat listening to her favorite rock show on the CBC and mareveling how good I feel, I heard about the shooting at Las Vegas at a concert. Haven't heard any details yet but at first, my thoughts were the same as the Batman shooting: That could have been me and my friends. But now in hindsight, no it couldn't. We walked through metal detectors to get in that arena. they even confiscated my husband's 15-in-one tool thingie with his permission as it had sharp scissors and a knife on it. (They offered to let him take it back to our vehicle but we ubered down there) I wonder if Paul will say something tonight like he did for Orlando

RE: Detroit, MI-Little Caesars Arena-Oct. 1st/2nd 2017-CONFIRMED
It's 1:30 AM and I'm not going to sleep any time soon. I never sleep after concerts. I'm hopped up on a witches brew of Guarana, Yerba Mate, Fo Ti, Gota Kola, Ginseng, Gingko, Macca. We all had an awesome time. Had a customer contact me to ride with us and helped split the cost of the Uber. I was dazzled by the light show during Mr Kyte. Though the person whistling over and over again during Here Today was annoying. We all got new T shirts for our collections too. I wish I was going tomorrow. I'm babbling with my fingers right now.

RE: Detroit, MI-Little Caesars Arena-Oct. 1st/2nd 2017-CONFIRMED
Well, I'm feeding the cat and then I'm off to meet the spouses and friends to head on down there. Just hoping for a good time and safely getting there and back again.

Approx 13 hours from now our 4 year old daughter will see a Beatle. She loves the pink ear protectors we bought her, I think part of her excitement is getting to wear those!! She has been singing "Love Me Do," "Eight Days A Week," "A Hard Days Night," and her favorite "Blackbird" all week long. I wish we could have got closer, maybe I would have made her a sign to hold: "Because of your help here I am!"
that is so sweet

Call the hotel- I think they might have a shuttle to/from the venue.

Staying at Motor City Casino. Can you safely walk to concert from there ?
I'd worry more about walking back after the show. it'll probably be midnight
You may be better off with Uber/Lyft/etc. But perhaps Motor City may have shuttles. Motor City is owned by the Illiches (whom own the Wings).
that's good to know. We're taking an Uber and I was worried about finding it getting back home afterwards. I wonder where this parking lot is. I've got a customer from work sharing it with me. We both have tickets on the main floor and he didn't want to go alone One other piece of advice I was given was to book the return ride as soon as you book your ride there. the cabs get booked up
