Notes"There are two levels to the variety of retail participants. One, are those who simply accept Cheers as currency on a one to one with the US Dollar. The 3 Cheers note is worth 3 dollars; and change will be issued in us currency for purchases made with cheers when the cost of the item is less. The second are those who issue the currency and are identified on the tail side of the bill. The commitment of those who issue is that they will always keep in cash reserve the amount of their issue. Confidence in the notes are equal to the trust you have in the people behind them. The notes are expensive to produce and are as real as money, please do not treat them as paper, do not take them if you are not going to spend them. "Unfurl
Notes"As you probably know, Detroitâs industry is not doing so well, but a growing wave of entrepreneurs and freelancers have been given cause to fill the gap. While working from a home office has many benefits, sometimes people who work alone all day start to go a little nuts. Even though we are more connected than weâve ever been, itâs easy to feel lonely without other people present. I was introduced to the concept of co-working by my friend Naoko McCracken and I immediately recognized that this was something that was missing from my life. Iâve been working alone from home for almost a year now and my only companion is my whining, socially inept dog. I realized that when I started talking to myself a few months ago, something needed to change."Unfurl
Notes"But the city offers a much greater attraction for artists than $100 houses. Detroit right now is just this vast, enormous canvas where anything imaginable can be accomplished. From Tyree Guytonâs Heidelberg Project (think of a neighborhood covered in shoes and stuffed animals and youâre close) to Matthew Barneyâs âAncient Eveningsâ project (think Egyptian gods reincarnated as Ford Mustangs and youâre kind of close), local and international artists are already leveraging Detroitâs complex textures and landscapes to their own surreal ends.

Notes"In short, my view is that if GM canât figure out ways to get their managers and executives to understand the experience of owning a car for the average person, if they canât get rid of those jets, and if they canât reduce the number of brands, and if they canât make a host of other changes required to make them competitive, than my answer is âno, you canât have our money.â "Unfurl
Notes"In February 1995, working in conjunction with nutritionists at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, I adopted a super fiber-rich diet which allowed me to successfully produce a single extruded excrement the exact length of my colon: 26 feet. I documented the extrusion at the Cranbrook-Kingswood High School Bowling Alley, Bloomfield Hills, MI, which offered a length of floor suitable for the process and measuring the results. The cathartic diet was supplemented by a high intake of Metamucil fiber substance. The weeklong endurance prior to the event was ensured by the employment of a plug specifically designed to curtail any premature excretions."Unfurl
