Of course, this is all par for the course when dealing with marriage equality, which has never been and can never be about true equality and justice for all people who fall within the LGBT spectrum. That’s because legal marriage is about sanctioning and
Why didn’t I know LesbianDad was speaking at BlogHer 08??? Probably up against my BOF, with my damn luck. If not, maybe I can lure hir into the Queer BOF? I love hir blog.
When I bought the tickets for Always Patsy Cline I thought both Jenn and TW would roll their eyes at me or possibly refuse to go with me. Neither are big country fans and as far as I know, Jenn doesn’t even know who Patsy Cline IS.
But, they were game with nary a rolled eye.
We arrived late. We left the hotel late to pick up Jenn. It took her awhile to say goodbye to the boy (which caused ME to roll MY eyes) and then I drove right past the parking garage entrance on Cumberland and then drove down Church St and back to the garage and then drove around the garage a bit. Heh. We were escorted to the very front row during the opening song – before “Patsy” came out – before “Louise” came out but still it was the first song. Front row seats were not great and I was worried again that I was going to get lynched by the two women I dragged to the show…
But. It was awesome.
Loved it. I am so glad I bought the tickets. I have no idea what Always Patsy Cline will be like if it’s in your area but if you get to Spoleto and those chicks are performing it – you should go. It’s fun.
Having mentors for your career or business can be one of the best things you ever do. These people can help you get where you want to go and will share their lessons learned as they got to being successful in their own right. What exactly is a mentor and
By the time it was gone, I was convinced that it was the best $4.95 I’d ever spent. You can’t get a show like that just anywhere. That’s the sort of thing the kids will forget; it’s the sort of thing even I would forget, if I didn’t have a place
ABC News’ Sunlen Miller today asked Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, how he could “rail against Countrywide Financial Corp as an example of insiders and today’s economy while your VP search is headed by someone who got questionable loans from Countrywide?”
Thanks for the brilliant taglines! No matter what tagline wins, we’re excited to have it on our BlogHer ’08 tote bag this year. And thanks again to CaféPress for the tote bags. This was a tough decision, but after a few scuffles and discarded locks o
“On April 21, Obama called. He was traveling between events in Indiana and had been trying to beat back questions about why he couldn’t close the deal. Obama sounded testy, Mizeur said. ‘It’s time to stand and be counted like the rest of the nation that’s
When I realized we were going to be in Charleston DURING Spoleto I almost cried. I have not been able to attend a Spoleto event since Jenn was a toddler and every year I’ve said “next year, I’ll be there!” and every year… it didn’t work out.
I quickly ran to see what kind of tickets were available for the days we were in Charleston and rather than being disappointed that most events were already sold out, I patiently clicked through everything available and bravely selected two shows that would fit into our time schedule. Both are actually “Piccolo Spoleto” events and one was “Piccolo Fringe“. (You have to learn a whole new vocabulary to understand Spoleto.)
We saw the first last night and this is the one I was most concerned about.
Banana Monologues
A stand-up show about One relationship, where One woman gave One man the best sex of his life… and all the crap to go with it. This is the subject matter of the hilarious one-man show, “
Misogynistic much? Yep, but it was funny and from the reactions of the small audience in the very small and interesting American Theater most people agreed. The older men in front of us were most appreciative of the monologue. The women they were with laughed almost as much but… not quite. And that was interesting as well.
I spent some time thinking about how many times I have seen middle age men get up and leave during the first 15 minutes of the Vagina Monologues and pondering why those men couldn’t handle that show yet women didn’t get up and walk out of Banana Monologues. Why is that? Patriarchy maybe? 😉
Really disappointed in Dr Parker. Could he be any more judgemental and condescending about his Christian home school patients? I don’t care if he says its his opinion. The fact that he had just feelings about a family whose children he treated… whatev
And we have only 150 slots open for registration. That may sound like a lot, but at the rate registration has been going in the last couple of weeks I can safely say that we will once again sell out, and it could happen more than a couple of weeks before
