This was the view from our great FREE seats at the 2009 Detroit Pistons Season Opener
Halloween with the Detroit Pistons is a "Thriller"
Last Halloween, I won front row tickets from Meijer to the Detroit Pistons season opening game on Halloween night. The players were so close it looked like we could reach out and touch them. My son yelled "Go Pistons" throughout the entire game because he was so excited. We were sitting right behind Mason as he announced the game and yelled out his now famous phrase D-E-T-R-O-I-T B-A-S-K-E-T-B-A-L-L. It was a wonderful way to spend Halloween night!
During halftime, Belle Tire's all male, "all belly" dance team "The Spare Tires", did a re-enactment of the Michael Jackson "Thriller" video. They were totally outrageous! I found the video on YouTube so I thought it would be a perfect way to give some "Motown Love" on this Halloween weekend. This video was unfortunately shorten because these big men actually shook their stuff for the entire length of the song...

Memories are FREE! So here are Detroit's own The Dramatics singing live in San Francisco.
Although The Dramatics were not with Motown records they are from Detroit. I remember The Dramatics from when I was a kid. I used to see them occasionally at church since my Sunday School teacher was the mother of one of the group's members. This was back in their heyday, and yes, they dressed off stage as flashy as when they were on stage causing quite a few stares from the female church members :)
