Surprisingly enough there doesn’t seem to be to many great ways to stay up on the festival schedule besides carrying around a paper version, or pinching and zooming the large, obnoxious pdf that every website seems to be displaying. We were stoked to hear about the mobile friendly web app that www.electricagenda.com made to solve this. Read More

Education Sounds Like This
I sit here in this brightly-colored classroom, as my teacher pulls up a file on his computer screen and suddenly he asks, “Do you see that big phallic thing at 200?” My eyes focus on the projected image before me. “Yeah, we gotta get everything out of its way.” That’s when I realized this was Read More

The exterior is nothing to look at, it reminds me of many unused buildings in Detroit, and which is probably why I love it. Set in the old industrial neighborhood, new signs of life, social-gatherings and Read More
