Regardless of what people think, I really love the State of Michigan. It's a fine place to live and I have been to many other states. I expect my car to be finished by next year.

Though I dont live in michigan, I just came back from visiting my brother in Rockford (just outside Grand Rapids) where I hung out and jammed with his bands at two gigs in town.

On my many visits there I have found that MI is a lovely state with nice folks. You got an awesome brewery in grand Rapids too! (Founders)

Black C3- Nice
fauxrs: Next time you're in town, head down to Kalamazoo and try Bells (if you haven't already). Though you could probably get it at a store in Rockford.
