Late night open thread

Ahhhh, what a great day to unplug from the electronic world. Just a nice, albeit warm, Sunday. Nothing better than a nice Sunday BBQ...


Time for Ypsilanti, After Dark

Late night open thread

Well, the Ypsilanti 11 played hard, at no point did they ever look beaten, they always kept plugging away. More importantly they weren't intimidated. Something to build on.

Look for the Ypsi City Desk blimp at the game today

We at YCD hope you enjoy it, it's also doubles as our YCD Traffic Copter.

EMU/UM Gameday thread

A matchup for the ages. It's a tossup and word in to the Ypsi City Desk is even at this early hour EMU fans are bumper to bumper on Washtenaw Avenue heading towards Stadium. It's 2:43 am and Packard is backing up as well.

It doesn't get any better than this one. For EMU the opportunity of a lifetime, for Michigan a chance to work out the kinks from last weeks tussle with Northwestern. Yes Michigan will mostly likely win and win handily HOWEVER, should God in Heaven point his finger at the EMU side of the field today, the party's at Sidetrack and Johnny's drinking shots.

Late night open thread and multimedia extravaganza

YCD was hard at work tonight and The Pretenders were on the iPod feed and so tonight, a before bed treat. Chrissie Hynde and the original lineup of Pete Farndon, Martin Chambers, and James Honeyman-Scott smoking through "Message of Love"

Maybe, if you're good, maybe we'll make this a regular Friday night thing.

1 Adam 12, 1 Adam 12, man with gun in Sellers Hall

That's right citizens, a man with a small caliber handgun was arrested late Wednesday night after pointing the gun at Sellers Hall residents.

The man in question, who has not had his name released pending charges (oh don't worry, he'll get FULL CREDIT at YCD when it becomes available) had already been told to leave campus and not to come back some 12 hours earlier. Around 11am yesterday the man in question (or the questionable man) who is NOT an EMU student was fighting with his girlfriend. EMU DPS read him the trespass act and told him to get stepping.

Last night around 10:30 he returned, with a gun (police said he had no ammuntion) to collect some of his stuff and as he was taking it he was confronted by residents which is when he decided to pull out his big manly gun.
