BTW, "Fifth Avenue Downtown" is the bar/pool place built into the side of Comerica park. A nice spot, with big windows facing across Woodward towards the Fox and State Theatre.

I think Anj and I have only been there twice though. Once once after a Sunday night
Roots show at the State, when Scott Z was still doing his Instant Vintage thing there. I think that was Feb 2003. Now that I think on it, that was the Roots show for which I actually sat down and did a writeup. Posted it on the old blog; go here to read it. Unfort never did a writeup for Common's Electric Circus show, which we caught at the State about a month later.

The other time at 5th Ave was in May of that year, also a Sunday night, post-Movement. Spinning that night were Theo Parrish and Rich Medina, though Anj and I didn't last all that long.
