Many thanks! That is the only thing about this forum I do not like. It is so large it makes it hard to naviagate.

Agreed! I also realize this thread is the first Michigan thread a newb could possibly see, figured I might as well offer a nudge :)

This board is huge though. The most active I've ever been on.

BTW chaps, ;-) What is the attitude like with regards to vaping in bars and restaurants in the Ann Arbor area? Do any of them welcome it or do 99% of them tell you to go outside?

The way this trip works is that 20-30 of us descend on a different restaurant every night, so I don't get any choice, although if someone has a recommendation I can probably get it added to the itinerary.

Oh, and get rid of that snow before next week, OK?

This is an interesting question. I tend not to vape in indoor establishments just to avoid the hassle. There was a recent TV news item on a local Michigan television station concerning the proposed legislation to limit e-Cig sales to adults. The station contacted the Michigan Department of Health and was informed there are no laws concerning their use however "It is up to the establishment" as to whether they are permitted. I think the prudent thing to do would be inquire from the management of their policy before seating. If declined politely inform them you will take your business to a "Vape Friendly" establishment. Their are a lot of ANTZ in the Ann Arbor area being a college town. Perhaps some of the locals can advise you of a place or places. Good idea to ask! It will be interesting to find out.

Knowing the Ann Arbor area, I'd bet you won't have many problems.
I live right by MSU, and have a lot of experience working in and managing restaurants/bars around here. At this point, very few businesses here will care, and that's only if a customer shows concern. Most places won't bug you as long as you're not doing anything dumb.

I'm from AA. Ann Arbor comedy club is fairly vape friendly... But I'm not sure if 20 people would be vaping if they might take issue. Melange is a nice night club, a tad small, but I've never had issues there. Honestly I've eaten at many bars/restaurants in the downtown...never had an issue. I don't draw attention to my vaping though. If you like prime rib check out Webers Inn on Jackson rd. they're well known for it. They have a nice bar attached too called the Habitat with live music most nights.
