There is usually at least a couple of lesbians who perform during the open mic portion. I wonder if I started a an otherwise-inclined lady chapbook exchange on the internet, Autostraddle would want to hear about it?

I wonder if I started a an otherwise-inclined lady chapbook exchange on the internet, Autostraddle would want to hear about it?

I raise my hand.

It was amazing. My only regret is not being able to go to the after party or sticking around long enough to catch Ariel Schrag not being busy so I could gush and get her to sign something like I did with Michelle Tea and Rhiannon Argo. Michelle said *this* article is amazing (of course I had to mention it!) and was hysterical adorable amazing. So was everyone. Ben was talking to me while we were hanging outside before the show (she had a cigarette, I had a decaf pumpkin spice latte) and I feel like a tool because in the dark/out of context I didn't realize who she was until we went inside. To start her performance she threw off her coat to reveal a mesh dress over a bikini and started dancing to Lady Gaga. Then she yelled, 'Is this all you think trannies can do? Cut your hair, sell MAC at the makeup counter and *this*?!' We had a local Chicago poet, Carina Gia Farrero, in place of your AZ person, and the tour manager, Sarah Adams, showed one of her hysterical short films ('Butthole Licking'), otherwise we had all the same people (reading slightly different things.) Oh, and special guest DJ SpinNikki played music before/after the show. I bought Kirya's chap book, Black Chick, and Ariel Schrag's choose-your-own-adventure. I've already got/am reading Rhiannon Argo's book, and I own all of Michelle Tea's stuff, obvs. AMAZING. It was amazing.

There's so many things in life that scare me that I have just chosen not to deal with, but the fear of interviewing people was one I knew I had to tackle head-on b/c the experience and the material can be so rewarding! This part reminded me of <strong>Why I Trust San Francisco:</strong> "I actually really do like the fog in San Francisco. It’s just moody, and foggy weather can be an excuse to stay in and write: Well, it’s not sunny out, I better stay in and write a novel!" The fact that this is even happening, touring, right now (as opposed to the 90's when things were more economically prosporous) I think really means kickass things for ladies; that there's a hunger to hear our voices, and to see people who are young and passionate who write, and want to share stories with each other an an audience. YAY LANEIA is all. Firstly when you texted me and said you were gonna go to this I was really surprised and excited.
