This is $4.00 per person and by appointment only so wee need to decide when were are going to see this one. It will probably have to be on Saturday.

They also offer a studio session kind of kareoke style where we can get a cd of us singing one of the songs they have on file. Sounds fun.

Why have I been in Detroit for 8 years and haven't seen most of these things. The hotel should be OK too. I thought you said it was in Detroit not Metro Detroit.
