Lip-Synching Guys' Michigan Road Trip Video Tour Will Stop in Novi

The city is one of more than 50 stops in the Pure Michigan project next week.

Quick: You're road-tripping through Michigan and stop in Novi. What to do? Who to see?

Jeff Barrett and Rob Bliss are looking to figure it out as they embark on a weeklong road trip through the state and document their journey via video.

You may already know Barrett and Bliss from their popular Grand Rapids LibDub video, a tour of their hometown to the tune of "American Pie." (Watch the video above.)

According to a blog post on Pure Michigan, the duo will create an "energetic digital video that highlights various things the state has to offer. The video will serve as a way to help tell the story of Michigan as a great place to live, work, play and build a business."

According to the report, the trip will all take place in an "Imported from Detroit" Chrysler vehicle.
