It was the best day ever. I've been a BNL fan since they were trying to break into the US. Detroit was the first US venue they sold out. And they used to play at a small theater in my town, Royal Oak..for $16. LAst time they came to MI I paid $60. I miss the days of small venues and cheap tix, so I REALLY enjoyed the show at Borders.
