Hanging With Sir Stanley

One of the perks of calling the Ilitchs friends is being able to hang out in a night club with Lord Stanley’s Cup. By the way, words can not describe how generous Chrisopher Ilitch is. Not only are he and his wife Kelle amazing hosts, always making you feel warm and welcome, but they’ve done so much for the city of Detroit, which needless to say could use some good news these days. After the Summer Soiree we headed over to Iridescence for drinks and desert and to the adjacent Amnesia nightclub were we partied with Stanley Cup along with Chris Chelios and many of his Hollywood friends, including John Cusack, Cuba Gooding Jr., Dave Coulier, D.B. Sweeney, John C. McGinely and Thorston Kaye as well athletes such as Laird Hamilton, Bernie Kosar and Cecil Fielder. The party, however, was fairly short lived as we left the party and headed over to Comerica Park for some midnight B.P. followed by drinks at Cheli’s Chili Bar across the street.
