Luxury and Merriment at the City Airport w/ Spyker Automotive
As we made our way through this grandiose special event production, everyone told us that they put on the event. Curious. In all fairness it did seem to be a group effort. Over 30 sponsors made this event happen.

The event wasproduced and or supported by many of our friends including Tony Fayne with Capital Event Productions and Suburban Collection, Jason Dristan w/ Corner Productions, Brian Urso w/ Executive Sports Services, Dan Sordel, Emin and Ronit w/ Clear Magazine, Niki Johnson and Detroit Fashion Pages, Freddie aka Paradime, Michelle from Moo Moos and countless others.

A few additional noteworthy sponsors included Dittrich Fur, Marquis Jets and Kettle One Vodka. After missing the City Airport Playboy party, which was supposedly a dud, we were excited to attend this function at the airport venue. Outstanding. Well done... whoever produced this event.
