My goal was to find out why -- and how much the pricing had to do with it.Of the nearly two dozen people I talked to Saturday, not one complained about spending too much money.Deb Nieman and Kelly Altman, celebrating each others' 49th birthdays, spent $650 on a limo for their party of six to ... well ... party."Absolutely worth it," said Nieman, after she confessed she'd probably spend $150 more at the venue.Just as Kid Rock began his performance, I met a woman named Chelsea Willis. She made my night.She's an oncology nurse at the St. Joseph Mercy Health System Cancer Center near Pinckney. She's been on Kid Rock cruises. She's seen him live close to 100 times.She told me that her group of volu自存倉teers -- called the Eye Candy Friday Girls -- raised more than $10,000 on Saturday for the children's charity Rainbow Connection. The money was raised via a raffle for a free room on the upcoming Kid Rock cruise.Willis explained in great detail how Rock is bigger than $20 tickets and $4 beers. She said he inspires people all over to do a little better, give a little more.She had tears in her eyes when she talked about raising money for Rainbow Connection, which grants wishes for kids with terminal illnesses. She brought a tear to my eye when telling me she works with cancer patients every day, and that she's doing what she can because "life is so short."After our talk, I saw some dude not having his best night ever. He was yelling at the concessions people, who were informing people last call for alcohol was at 9:30 p.m. Another guy puked right next to me, and I saw three security people escorting another woman out of the venue for something or another.Not their best night ever. Not mine.But I dropped $25 on the Best Night Ever No. 2 T-shirt, bought a $6.25 pop and a $8 pizza. Because I met Chelsea.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Detroit Free Press Visit the Detroit Free Press at .freep.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉新蒲崗
