Bowling Awards

on .

 Wow talk about speedy Gonzalez! After a rabid month of online voting which occurred last year over at the Riff2 site for their 1st annual Riff2 awards they FINALLY released the results? Wow the voting ended over 2 months ago, maybe longer, it’s been so long I cannot remember! Not sure who talleyed the “Online Votes”, but I do know it was computerized to some extent, I hope! Oh well, we’ll take it with a grain of salt and let you know that the results are in, not on the RIFF2 site but on the Detroit News Site….? WTF is up with that? Melody Licious (#79) has the results posted here on her new music blog, check it out.

If you don’t have any plans this Sunday, head on up to the Premier Entertainment Center for some good old fashion fundraiser bowling, hey Michigan is the bowling capital of the world you know! It’s for a great cause as Screamin Scott from Wrif has organized the 1st Annual Rock & Bowl event. Pitting local bands, bars, groupies, and seriously misguided web music junkies like ourselves against one another in an effort to raise money for Jacob McQuade, a young man who is currently receiving treatment for cancer, and also for the Angelo Ganos Foundation, the prominent local musician from Seduce, who recently unexpectedly passed. Not only will you see your favorite rockers bowling, which should be quite entertaining in and of itself,......read more

there is an all day concert on 2 stages located throughout the center where a megaload of your favorite local bands will be playing. Should be a great time for a great cause, so head on up and enter yourself a team of up to 5 bowlers for $10 each that includes 2 games & your shoes! Guaranteed a fun time, so come out and hang with us if you want! For more info hit up Screamin Scott’s page, and remember to check back next week as Dr2 will sure to have all the “gory” details on the event! Support Local Music (and those who do) Before It’s Too Late!
