The whole thing kicks off around 8pm, and will likely go into the wee hours. There will be discount BTB Party Bus rides (yes, you can drink on it) from downtown to the warehouse and back again.
And did we mention the whole thing is free? I know right? Everyone involved is doing this out of a love of art, music, film, spring, and a desire to see more creative action happening in a town that used to be known for it. Come support art in Michigan, or at least tell your friends to (oh, and and bring your own b, if you please). And if you've still got friends that have somehow avoided Facebook for this long, point them here: http://winterdoldrums.elevatedworks.com/

I am really excited to attend the grand opening party at Pot & Box tomorrow night, Friday, March 5th! Owner (and our friendly neighbor) Lisa Waud, has such a fresh and inspiring approach to floral design, and I should know, I grew up in the floral biz with my Mom being an award winning florist back in the day, and grandparents and an uncle who have owned a florist and greenhouse for decades, about 20 miles east of Ann Arbor.
But it doesn't stop there folks, Lisa is also a serious horticulturist, and designs flower landscapes and container gardens... which is basically my dream job, aside from letterpress design and printing of course!
I've also had a look inside the new studio, and it really is an amazing space, not only in the architecture, but also in the way that Lisa has designed her displays, and even organized her materials... so much great stuff to look at! You should stop by the opening if you get the chance...
