313 Road Rally Time...

Have you ever been on a road rally before? Well if you haven't let me take this opportunity to tell you about an upcoming photo road rally in the D!  Last year was the first year I put one of these road rallies on, and it was no easy task, but so many people have been asking for another one so I'm bringing another road rally back down to Detroit!!

Here's what you do:
  •  Get a team together. It can be anywhere from 3-6 people.  Remember you are all going to be in 1 car, so keep that in mind.
  • You and your team get approximately 3 hours to take a determined about of pictures from a list of options. 
  • Get the photos developed and place the pictures on the cardboard given at the beginning of the road rally.
  • Don't be late!! Arriving after the set time, results in the deduction of points.
  • The team with the most points, WIN!!! (Not only do you get prizes, but you get bragging rights as well!)
Here's a few examples of what the previous road rally gave as picture taking opportunities:


Here are some pics from a team competing last year: Team Juicy!!

Getting their Coney on!

Macarena anyone??


We got the "Spirit" ya!!

Some mad air guitar skills here!

Does this sound like fun or what?  Not only do you get a chance to hang out with your friends and take goofy pictures, but you get to see some of the great sites of Detroit!  After completing the road rally, all the teams involved get to look at each other pictures and laugh while enjoying a great meal at a local Detroit restaurant.  Last time, we met up at Loco's Tex-Mex. (Did I mention the cost is under $20 a person?  No jokes here folks:)

The next '313' photo road rally is this March 11th!! Who's in???

  1. Marybeth it looks like an amazing time! I unfortunately work on the weekends so I will not be able to participate. Keep me in the loop for any other upcoming cool events in Detroit though! It sounds like you have a pretty good grasp on the underground scene in Detroit and not just the popular stops!

    Did you hear that they are building a Buffalo Wild Wings downtown? It is going to be near the Old Shillelagh! That is definitely going to be a great place to watch sporting events! Have fun on the Road Rally and I am looking forward to seeing some pictures from it!
