Hi all,
Since my last post is already some weeks old I guess I owe
you an update.
A friend of mine visited me here in Royal Oak and we had
lots of work the last weeks for our big TechCrawl event. So there is enough to
write about :)
Moritz arrived on the first June-weekend. I showed him the Rock
City Detroit, and our nightlife here. We had a great time with my roommates and the
chance to talk about things going on in our hometown.
After he left the busy time at work started. We had plenty
of work – much influenced by TechCrawl. We had to organize final things, print
the press material, had meetings at the locations and so on.
But – we managed it, and then the “big day” arrived.
TechCrawl 2015
This year’s TechCrawl was a half-day program. We started
with lunch and a short introduction in Birmingham’s “The Bird and The Bread”. A
very nice restaurant with a delicious kitchen. We had wraps, sandwiches and
salad for everybody. And as a dessert the housemade cookies. Believe me: It sounds not as spectacular as it was.
The presentation-part of TechCrawl took place in the
Birmingham Theatre. A movie- theatre. We
had the presentations on the big screen, the media sitting in those huge red
cinema chairs and eating popcorn.
All in all a great atmosphere, great presentations and media
attendees that had the chance to relax and work at the same time.
We also presented our former-intern video in the movie
theatre. I created it because AutoCom celebrates it’s 20th
anniversary this year.
So – every former AutoCom intern who sent a short statement-video
to me is now able to call himself a movie-star. Your clip has been on a real
cinema-screen. Not everybody can say this :)
Thanks again to all of you who sent a short clip! – if you
want to see the video again, here the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILFC9lpwocU&feature=youtu.be
TechCrawl 2015 ended with a reception at Hyde Park – a steakhouse
directly next to the movies. Merle and I organized some fun-activities for our
media attendees and our clients. We had a caricaturist who drawed the people
(very nice!), we had a guitar-player who made some nice music for the
background. And we had a little fun-picture frame with two fun-gadgets: Larry’s
glasses and Jack Harned’s hair.
As you can see in the pictures: we had a good time.
Now, since TechCrawl is over I am busy with working on our quarterly newsletter.
Be prepared for it – It’ll be sent out in the first week of July. If you want
to receive a copy feel free to contact me (nfuchs@usautocom.com) or just

This week was also an exciting event in downtown Detroit: We
celebrated the canadian independence day together with our neighbors in Windsor/Canada.
Denise invited Merle and me to join her and her family for a dinner at the
Detroit Princess, the historical boat on the river.
We had a nice meal on the boat and after that the chance to
see the fireworks from the upper-deck on the water.
Since it is Friday today I am also preparing myself for the
weekend. :)
Unfortunately the weather-forecast is not very good. But – to be honest: I’ve never seen a true weather-forecast here
in the US since I am here. So hopefully the weather-science guys are wrong this
time, too.
Our neighbor came to our house last week. She told us that she
organized a block-party in our street for this Saturday. My roommates and I
will have fun there, for sure! Hopefully with good weather.
Also I have to tell you that Chicago is calling: I’ll be
there in two weeks. Picking up my girlfriend from the airport. She’s going to
visit me.
I am so glad that she is able to come to the US so that we can see each other :)
