I did have a bit of a pinch-me moment during Detroit Homecoming. I was in the same neighborhood tour group as Dee Dee Bridgewater - the Dee Dee Bridgewater, who is from Michigan - and was together with her and her daughter again at dinner one night. So, I got to talk jazz, SFJazz, and culture, and Detroit Homecoming with a living jazz legend. I got a little starry-eyed but managed to keep it together.
Made it to the 11th Detroit Homecoming, which yes, does mean Crain et al started the event while the city was in Chapter 9. Thought-provoking about the relationship between cities and diasporas, and hardware (buildings) and software/content (community and companies). And yes, I brought a wingman.
