I suspect you'll be seeing a number of straight un-Photoshopped photos here this weekend, but if the subjects are as lovely as this young woman, I doubt if anyone will complain!

Last night the 70s icon Mitch Ryder performed at a free concert downtown, and today, tomorrow and Monday I'm off to one of my favorite music festivals of the year--Detroit's eighth annual electronic music extravaganza on the downtown riverfront. No, this one isn't free, but it IS spectacular...at least for tens of thousands of EM lovers, many of whom travel from around the world every Memorial Day weekend to this Techno Mecca. Check it out yourself by going to the Movement 07: Detroit Electronic Music Festival web site.

Last year I was photographed by hundreds of these terrific youngsters who couldn't believe a granny-aged white-haired woman like me could really like electronic music, the stuff their parents yell at them about at home! I'd guess I was the oldest person there. That and the fact that I'm disabled got me some special attention. What makes it special for me is being around the fabulous energy of youth, and having the opportunity to get up out of my scooter, onto my feet, and dance to my heart's content. Always have been a dancin' fool!

The rain's coming down pretty hard right now so I might wait a bit before heading downtown, but hey, rain can't stop a ragin' granny like me!
