Eastern Michigan University - Ypsilanti MI - 9/29
Wayne State University - Detroit MI - 09/30

What?! They couldn't get UofM or MSU? I know getting my alma mater (Oakland U.) on the bill, would be unlikely but come on!

Oh well. It might be worth visiting Wayne State, the land of career students.... ouch.

"The University of Georgia - Athens GA - 11/18"

Ahh, sweet! That's just five miles down the road! I am SO there! Fortunately, I'll have at least a month of bongo practice, so I won't make a total fool out of myself... just a regular fool.

Ah well, I'm not big into mass communication stuff anyway.
