SLIME ACROSS AMERICA 2008 TOUR STOPPED ON DETROIT’S RIVERFRONT WITH SONY BMG RECORDING GROUP MENUDO SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Early rain and grey skies could not keep hundreds of adoring fans away from Tiffany Evans, Menudo and of course, the slime.

Nickelodeon's Slime Across America Tour hit  the Motor City on Saturday afternoon with musical performances by Sony BMG recording artists Tiffany Evans and Menudo and new slimy games. Nick's 18-wheel Slime Mobile stopped in Detroit as part of a 10 city summer run which  began June 7 and features an enhanced truck and stage, and new iCarly and the Naked Brothers Band-themed activity pods. The tour also features visits in New York; Chicago; Los Angeles; Philadelphia; Dallas; Miami; Atlanta; and San Francisco.

This summer's Slime Across America tour doused more than 40,000 kids in 40 cities with the Nickelodeon's iconic green slime. Kids will also be able to experience the summer slime fest online with Nick's brand new slime-themed multiplayer online game and website www.nick.com/slime.

The Naked Brothers Band Karaoke pod, was a favorite spot where kids  recorded themselves performing their favorite Nick-themed songs and more. Every kid who participated in one of the pod activities were given a Slime Pass to use at home to download videos of their performance from the official Slime Across America website www.nick.com/slime.
