TOGETHER WITH

Good morning, Wichita!

It probably isn’t the best idea to ask you to leave your inbox immediately when you open this email, but I have a couple of favors to ask (plz come back):

Go vote for Exploration Place to win - we’ve dropped to 7th place and we can definitely do better. There is $120k and some awesome concerts on the line. You can also just text WICHITA to 877-409-5525.
Go vote for our airport to win Best Small Airport! You can vote daily! Currently in 9th.

Let’s get to it!

STARTUP

DANOIZ

Wichita filmmaker Maxx (Maximum James) is working on a documentary called The Madwest Theory: A DANOIZ Documentary. It tells the story of the 1990s Wichita hip-hop duo DANOIZ and the scene that grew around them — a piece of Kansas music history that never really got its flowers until now.

They just dropped a Kickstarter to help wrap up post-production and clear the music rights. Check out the kickstarter and details here.
