The Background: Newsweek ran an article that placed Grand Rapids on a list of dying cities in the US. (Quoted from that article: "Michigan dominates much of this list, with several cities experiencing significant declines in population as the state suffered high unemployment rates and above average foreclosures in recent years due mainly to the collapse of the auto industry.")
Well, needless to say, the people of Michigan are a little tired of being kicked around! Our economy sucks, we have the highest unemployment rates in the country, the auto industry is dying: and to add insult to injury, magazines and newspapers and constantly naming our cities among the most miserable, most dangerous, the poorest...I could go on, but I'm getting depressed.
MOVING SWIFTLY ON!
So what are the people of Grand Rapids going to do about it? Well, they're going to get 5,000 people together and create a video of the largest lip-synch to Don McClean's "American Pie", of course! DUH!
There are flames, NERF guns, weddings, acrobats, helicopters, and some hilariously bad lip-synchers! But the video gives me the warm fuzzies, and I hope it does the same for all of you. :D
I asked on the Sharing Sunday post over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
doctoreleven, but I also thought I'd ask again here: Has anyone found any good fic from current series of Doctor Who? I've found some good stuff (mostly porn. Go figure...), but I can't help but think there MUST BE MORE! Anything dealing with the current revelations of Series 6 would be appreciated, especially if it has Amy and Rory in it! Thanks. :D
