Awwww.... Thanks! See you in Aug.

 

Tonight's episode of the TV series "Detroiters" on Comedy Central was partially filmed on Woodward last year just prior to the Dream Cruise.
I worked as an extra on the set and may be in a background shot of the crowd unless my scene ended up on the cutting room floor. It should be easy to pick me out - polo shirt, shorts, baseball hat and sunglasses, just like thousands of other guys.

'Detroiters' takes on Dream Cruise, brings on 'SNL' stars

 

Nice Aero Blue.

 

Please add
Paul & Gayle Ottawa Ontario Canada

 

The list in post #2 in up to date

Jim watched the Detroiters the other night with Mickie and saw you on the show, very cool! First time I've watched the show thought it was pretty funny.
