I've still got this really nasty taste in my mouth from the Mary Cheney interview.
So I'm trying to figure out this MySpace thing b/c someone from the Steel Queer N'At collective posted my post about their performance ... there. That's a horrid sentence. But you get the point. Anyway, I'm trying to figure it out and I notice that one of the acts from the collective is performing this Friday at Quiet Storm.
They are Thrive, three poets The Black Ass Bombshell..aka Vanessa German, Sweet Thunda aka Bekazela Mguni and Savannah Montana..aka Becca Cooper
We were very impressed by their acts. The Black Ass Bombshell did this wicked piece about Jorge and I was so enthralled by their outfits that it took me at least two minutes to realize who Jorge was. Then tonight I discover that Vanessa German is the woman who won the national SLAMBUSH contest. And I think I heard her at the Peace Rally in 2005. Where I was very impressed but it ended up I had been marching on a broken foot all along so the incredible pain sort of edged everything else out. That's right -- I marched for peace on a broken foot. Then I went to Starbucks.
So it all sort of swirls together to prompt me to go to The Quiet Storm this Friday at 8 PM to see Thrive perform en masse. After marching for dykes on a never really gonna heal from being broken foot. Then I'll march for Pride Awareness on that same foot.
Thank god my father wants to spend Father's Day at the movies. At least there'll be no marching.
I would greatly appreciate if there could be a blogging for peace/equality/healthy feet/Starbucks event in the near future.
