Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 3:52PM | Becks Davis Um, I don’t mean to alarm anyone but someone stole autumn. I swear that I saw it last week and now its vanished. The chilly temperatures are trying to lure us into an early winter and I’m not having it. I’m going to keep looking for autumn; maybe it’s under my bed or in the back of the closet. In the mean time, here are some events going on this weekend in metro Detroit to keep you occupied.
Weekend Roundup

Looks like Rocky Horror isn't in the cards for me :( ... but we -are- getting out to the Avedon and history of photography shows at the DIA in the coming weeks :)
