The Code for America Fellowship
Code for America is now accepting applications for its 2012 fellowship. If you’re a developer, designer, researcher, or entrepreneur who wants to make a difference in Detroit, this is your opportunity to build a new generation of Gov 2.0 apps to make city governments work better. CfA fellows get a crash course in how cities work, mentorship and networking with the top names in tech and government, and a platform to launch companies and careers that will bring long-term innovation to the public sector. They also get a living-wage stipend, travel expenses, and healthcare for the year. Most of all, they get the chance to be heroes — in Detroit and across the countru.
Applications are due July 31, 2011. Apply now: http://codeforamerica.org/apply

AT LONG LAST,  The Burton Theatre IN EXILE presents it’s summer program,  including CINEMA BARBEQUES V, VI, & VII hosted by OMNICORPDETROIT in Eastern Market!

Three go-go watusi dancers set out in a racing sports car for a few days of adventure, violence, and seduction. Leading the pack is Varla, a karate expert whose lesbian lover, Rosie, is little more than an obedient slave. Violence turns to murder as the pack sets out to find a family’s hidden treasure.

Shot on location in downtown Detroit and close-in neighborhoods, Detroit 9000 is the story of street-smart white detective Danny Bassett (Alex Rocco) who teams with educated black detective Sgt. Jesse Williams (Hari Rhodes) to investigate a theft of $400,000 at a fund-raiser for Representative Aubrey Hale Clayton (Rudy Challenger).
