Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup

Whoa! 2009 is just about over. I can’t believe how quickly the year zoomed by. Even New Year's Eve kind of snuck up on me.

The husband and I won’t be venturing out on New Year's Eve; which is dubbed amateur night in my house. We’ll spend the evening at home with family. A standing rib roast and Yorkshire puddings are on the menu.

See how good I am to that English bloke of mine!

Well, actually, my mom planned it. I'm the one with the special Yorkshire pudding pans though, that I thoughtfully purchased before we left the UK. And haven't been used yet.

Weekend Roundup

1. I'm assuming you've already made plans for New Years Eve. If not, you better get on that! Check this list and this one for best bets for New Year's Eve. December 31st.

2. National Hangover Day (Facebook link) - Dino's Lounge in Ferndale is screening the movie The Hangover as well as serving brunch with bottomless Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., January 1st.

3. Jersey Boys - The Tony-award winning musical biography of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons is at the Fisher Theatre. Now through January 23rd.

4. Detroit Lions - Yes, our hapless team hosts the Chicago Bears this Sunday. Maybe they'll have better luck in 2010. January 3rd.

5. Harlem Globetrotters - Unlike the Lions, the Globetrotters always entertain. I'm pretty sure they usually win too! January 2nd.

Do you know of a great event going in on Metro Detroit this weekend? Add it to the comments and share it with us!

P.S. Happy New Year from Detroit Moxie! I wish you the best in 2010.
