Small Plates Detroit, on Broadway St. in Detroit
J and I were in Detroit last night. The evening started at Small Plates Detroit, a restaurant our friends Ann and Jeff introduced us to. The idea is to have several different small dishes, and share them between you, rather than buying one big entree for each person.
Then it was on to the Fox Theater to see Steve Martin and Martin Short in their two-man show, "A Very Stupid Conversation". The two comedians talked about their careers, telling funny stories of their encounters with other celebrities like Frank Sinatra, and about their lives growing up, and odd experiences they've had. Martin Short sang a song and danced, and Steve Martin played several bluegrass songs with his band, The Steep Canyon Rangers, who were set up on the side of the stage during part of the show.

For an encore, they announced that they were contractually obligated to do an encore, then performed a musical number that counted down the time until they were allowed to leave the stage ("...one more minute...").
We walked back to our car past Comerica Park, where the Tigers were, unfortunately, losing badly to the Cleveland Indians.
A fun date night for J and me. We should do it again soon.
