one of my favorite things about detroit in the summer is the woodward. the woodward is a fancy restaurant kiddy corner to my building. i’ve never actually been there, but i always enjoy the atmosphere, and here’s why…

during the evening, the patio at the woodward has a jazz band outside, playing a great mix of songs that i don’t recognize, but bring me in to a state of awesomeness. see, i can open the window in my apartment and listen to this jazz band play while chilling on my couch with a hot cup of tea. some nights, they’re playing so hard, i don’t even have to open the window.

there’s something about live music that i truly do enjoy (even if i wouldn’t go to see a concert multiple times) and sometimes for me, i’d rather experience the local venue (or sit in the comfort of my couch) and just listen to some great jazz from a group of guys that may or may not have ever played together.

surprisingly, i can get that experience without walking out the door. it’s pretty neat.
