BONUS: 2012 Radio Ad

    I’ve been recording WCSX since Saturday, but I got the new commercial off WYCD after only an hour! From 99.5 WYCD Detroit’s Country, at 6:10 EDT this morning…

    Update: a slightly improved version of this commercial, recorded at around 11:40 AM EDT (also off WYCD), was added to the podcast feed, at around 4:10 PM.

2012 Newspaper Ad

    Here’s the ad from the Detroit Free Press Sunday edition, Entertainment section, page 5E.

The 2012 ad

    Tailgating starts at 8 AM?!?!? Could there be such a thing as too much partying? Those poor parking lot attendants don’t know what they’re in for.
    Update: from the concert page at the Olympia Entertainment website, here’s the website splash page ad and the webpage banner ad.

It’s Official

    The rumor at Buffett World has come true.
    It was announced today that Jimmy Buffett will be playing Comerica Park on Saturday, July 28. And for any naysayers who were afraid there would not be any tailgating, the promoters are promising “[a] daylong ‘Buffett’s Beach Party’ will be held on the grounds outside Comerica Park, where a lounge, margarita tastings, midway games and other frills will be in place for the legion of partying Parrothead fans.”
    Here’s the Detroit News‘s write-up. Here’s the Detroit Free Press‘s.
    And this banner was on the Freep’s front page.
