Kristin & SD,
Thanks for adding the events! Oh, and go Detroit Public Library! Beat the DIA!
The 48 Hour Film Project kicks off tonight at 7:00 PM. Filmmakers and their crews all over the metro Detroit area, Ann Arbor and beyond will then spend the next 48 hours writing, filming and editing their films by Sunday night.
West Side = Best side, go DPL! I will so be at those chicken races, can't wait!
Kim,
The 48 Hour Film projects looks really cool. Looking forward to seeing the final pieces.
Justine,
I love my friends at the DIA too but I'm rooting for the DPL. I hope you don't get rained out.
In Detroit's oldest neighborhood, enjoy live music. At Roosevelt Park, which is shaded by Michigan Central Station, the festival is held.
