Unfortunately, Detroit will not be able to celebrate
Star Wars Day, aka May 4 (get it . May the fourth be with you . it s a pun .) with Space Dive s annual takeover of Tangent Gallery, in which organizers transform the space into the infamous Mos Eisley Cantina complete with scum, villainy, and the nectar of, well, scum and villainy, Blue Milk. While the Cantina “remains in lockdown,” there are “rumors of a smaller outpost, not far away, where strong drink and rare substance flow.” In other words, Space Dive organizers John Dunivant and Daniel Land have teamed up with popular Hazel Park eatery frame to add a fine-dining twist to the festivities, safe from Imperial Forces.
