Collected thoughts about Gran Torino. Support Detroit 1 of 3. January 11, 2009. Detroit is full of new good things happening amidst the dreariness of this Winter. This is 1 of 3. DSE @ Grand has been open since at least the summer, so I guess it’s not actually that new. I first became aware of it when Nandi came home with this amazing shirt. Another noteworthy long-standing Detroit independent business. Responses to “Support Detroit 1 of 3”. Feed for this Entry. Adrian Morrions Tee Advantage. On March 7,...

Support Detroit 1 of 3. Monica Blaire’s “Set Me Free” is an independent artist’s lovesong to Detroit. January 26, 2009. Last summer, as we were embarking on the second phase of the Live Arts Media Project, we held a training to prepare old LAMP youth to lead a summer program for new participants. In 2006, we had made this amazing CD. I told her that I was inspired by the conversation taking place on her blog, between her and Jess Hoffman of Make/Shift Magazine. But to create that kind of shift in conscio...

Renaissance | greater detroit

Collected thoughts about Gran Torino. December 17, 2008. I remember running around there as a kid, and wanting to ride up and down the glass elevators, looking out at the city. Later as a teenager, trying to sneak into the rotating restaurant on the top, and stay long enough to make one full rotation before getting kicked out. On the backlit glass pathways and pretend you are in a Doctor Seuss book, where trees grow from concrete platforms suspended in air. Responses to “Renaissance”. Feed for this Entry.

The Future of Media Panel at NCMR. June 10, 2008. I spoke on a panel called “The Future of Media” at the National Conference on Media Reform last weekend. This is what I said:. The Future of Media panel at the 2008 National Conference on Media Reform. June 8, 2008. To me, the question of “what is the future of media? 8221; is only useful to the extent that it helps us answer the question, “what is the future of social justice organizing? But I also feel fortunate as an organizer of the Allied Media Confe...

https://greaterdetroit.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/monica-blaires-set-me-free-is-an-independent-artists-lovesong-to-detroit
Monica Blaire’s “Set Me Free” is an independent artist’s lovesong to Detroit. June 1, 2009. I love lovesongs. In their best form, they remind us of how the way we love people is connected to the way we love the world. From the first listen of Monica Blaire’s. Back in 2006, the song “Set Me Free” stayed stuck in my head. Maybe it was speaking to a feeling of unrequited love in my life at that moment, or the residue of that feeling leftover from years past. To the best of my recollection, she said–. Becaus...
