C'mon downtown to join the crowd between 8 p.m. and midnight Tuesday.
That's when local X Games bid organizers Kevin Krease and Garret Koehler are staging a free street bash aimed at impressing VIP visitors -- ESPN site selection representatives.
Your invite to the Campus Martius gathering is on Facebook, where nearly 1,000 people indicate they're coming.
Show ESPN that Detroit wants the X Games. . . .
We'll be there rain or shine. And yes, we know it's the day after Movement, but Detroit hustles harder on Tuesdays, too.
There'll be food trucks, alcoholic drink sales, DJs and a graffiti competition between four of Detroit's most prolific street artists. Skateboards and bikes welcome.
Detroit is among four finalists to host the 2014-16 summer X Games hosted by ESPN, which feature competitive skateboarding, inline skating, motocross, BMX biking, and more.
ESPN reps also will visit Chicago, Austin, and Charlotte before the network announces its choice in August.
