For what is Detroit's biggest night -- the city's night to shine -- man, Charity Preview sure does end early.
The event begins at 6 p.m. and wraps up at the all-too-early hour of 9 p.m. 9 p.m.? Most weddings don't even get cooking until 9 p.m. 9 p.m.? Headlining bands at concerts usually don't come on until 9 p.m. So why doesn't Charity Preview go from, say, 7-10 p.m., or 7-11 p.m.? This is a huge night -- guys wear tuxes, women get their hair did and put on fancy dresses and uncomfortable shoes -- so why not make it last? People have already hired the sitter, right? Just seems like a waste is all, and very un-rock of Detroit Rock City.
Also, there should be monster trucks, but that's another story.

For some, Charity Preview fun starts after 9 p.m.
Afterglows, Adam . . . galore, from what I heard. (Wasn't on The List either.)
Friend whose spouse is a Ford exec says they got home at 1:30.
Still, point taken . . . 7-11 p.m. also would allow for post-partying.
