so why hasnt anyone posted anything new? nothing fun happening? anyone have any plans on going to the soo w/wo a bus trip on september 1st?? or going to see grinder on september5th in haithco park? just trying to start a conversation...any chatters??

Not much happening lately... Anxiously awaiting Sept. 6th and the 1st home preseason game! As for Grinder, I saw them last year up in Bay City, and Darren McCarty should definitely stick to hockey! ha!ha! I've been involved with the music industry for over 12 years, and I have seen a lot of bands in my time, and Grinder falls in the category of "Fun party band". The music isn't bad, mostly '70's cover material, but Darrin is NOT a good singer. But they're fun. Plus he comes out & meets the crowd after the shows, so that's cool. He's a nice guy. Highlight of the show (funniest moment, actually) is when they play "I Faught The Law & The Law Won" and he changes the words to "I Faught Lemieux & I Won".

well, maybe if he sings that song, i'll go see em. I live in the chesaning area and being a new season ticketholder it seems ive got a lot of events to go to saginaw for.just picked up my season tickets yesterday and will be running back to saginaw friday morning for extra tickets for first game for kids and friends.also on the 29th is the blue and white game in midland, so it sems im going to be running a lot, but the spirit is worth it all.

I also saw Grinder in Bay City and agree that Mac should stick to Hockey. I had to leave before they were done since I had to work the next day and I went by myself because all of my friends were too young to get into the Empire Club. It was OK. Not the worst music I've heard live, but not anywhere near the best.

I can't wait for hockey season to start up again. Does it cost money to go to the thing in Midland? And if so, do you need tickets or is it going to be like the thing in Bay City?

The thing in Midland is going to be a "donations are appreciated" thing. I think I read that on the Spirit website. For those who have never been to the community center, be prepared for hard metal(cold!!) bleachers, so maybe bring a cushion to sit on. It will be a fun night though!!!!

sorry, I meant the civic arena not community center. You know what I meant.

the last time the spirit was at baycity civic arena, there was a 3 dollar donation. seemed pretty cheap and yes bring a coat at least...does anyone remember what it felt like to walk into the NHL at birch run.. yup, its that cold..
