I’m making a list of things to do before I leave Michigan/ the Midwest (Summer 2013).  The list currently consists of the following: go to the Renegade Craft Fair, go to Cleveland, go to Pewabic Pottery, go to the Farnsworth House, and go feather bowling.  What do you think should be on my list (keep in mind I’m on a graduate student budget, so nothing too outrageous)?

Being a historic preservation graduate student has perks!  Today I got a tour of the Palmer House in Ann Arbor, MI.  The Palmer House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1950; currently the house serves as an informal (very expensive) hotel and is not open to the public.  I’m writing a paper where I re-imagine the site as a functioning historic house museum. For more information and photos click here. Oh, and almost all of the furnishings are original & the majority of them were designed by FLW; the built-ins made me drool.

Dear, Michigan People,

Be my friend.  The majority of the people in my graduate program are not interested in similar recreational activities.  I am interested in the following (not limited to this list): movies, historic houses, museums, punk/hardcore/motown, going to shows, books, hiking, karaoke, FOOD… blah blah lots of stuff.  This is kind of pitiful, but I’m here until end of summer 2013 & I would really like to meet some awesome people.

Sincerely,

Sarah

PS. Come hang out at the Bleached show next week.

Okay, so I’m all settled in Ypsilanti & have just been exploring & singing karaoke.  Grad school doesn’t start until last week of the month… so lots of free time.   So I ask you the internet… HOW do you make friends when you aren’t in school?   tips/pointers?  everyone I ask this question to seems kind of befuddled.. obviously taking it to the internet is the best choice?
