Top 10 reasons to go to the last day celebration

10. It'll be your last chance to see Ben before he locks himself into his house for three months straight in an attempt to catch up on his sleep.
9. There may be a Neil Greenberg sighting. Who is Neil Greenberg? Exactly.
8. It's going to be the biggest day of Summer in the City EVERRRRRR.
7. The free Tigers tickets we're giving out will coincide exactly with a late-season surge by the team, and will end up being a really important, awesome game. (Barring that, the Tigers are awesome anyway).
6. You'll be able to truthfully say that you've done more good for the City of Detroit than its mayor.
5. You'll be able to brag about it to all of your friends.
4. Massive/awesome end-of-the-year group picture that you'll be able to savor and point yourself out on forever.
3. Free food.
2. Free passes to the newly renovated Detroit Institute of the Arts. Haven't been there yet? Me neither.
1. You need an excuse to get out of school/your job anyway.
