Avedon! Okay, Michigan is drawing me more and more. I'd love to view the Avedon exhibit and the glass museum sounds cute. I also hear that there's a Michigan Renaissance Faire.

Fly Girl-Michigan has a lot to offer :)
I can't wait for the Avedon exhibition. It's a big deal traveling show, and there are some great images included with it from what I saw on the Web.
The Toledo Museum of Art is actually just across the border into Ohio. It has an especially comprehensive glass exhibit because of the Libbey connection--and it has a big Chihuly show running right now (all the pieces are from Toledo's permanent collection).
Yup, the Renaissance Fair is happening as we write. It runs through sometime in October. I think my favorite thing at the RenFest is the Dead Bob Show!
