Beantown! Writing workshop Saturday, April 2nd!
Folks, First of all, THANK YOU so much to everyone who came out to Girl Talk. I’m still glowing — it was an *amazing* night, and me, Julia, & Rose are planning to take a version of the show on tour (at long last, after many requests). We’re still in the very early planning stages at this point, but if you want to bring us to your college, community center, queer church, or...

“The acting is also standard for amateur porn, with the exception of Gina de...”
– Sherilyn Connelly, reviewing Doing It Ourselves (it’s porn, proceed with caution if you need to). I am giggling, a lot. I don’t think of myself as even HAVING acting chops, so this is a compliment. Although I also think Roberta Findlay is kinda awesome. :)

Beautiful Girl Talk cast, co-curators, audience, & hangers-on, Thank you for your grace and graciousness, energy and beauty last night. I am writing in fuzzy pink pajamas from my Bed of Sequins, feeling glamourously wrecked and very, very happy about how the show went. Grazie. Also, an addendum to my answer to the audience question last night regarding touring, and a general announcement (I...

Girl Talk is SELLING OUT, peoples.
Comrades, As of 8:30 this morning, there were 3 pre-sale tix left for Girl Talk on Thursday. Jebus! If you were not able to get pre-sale tix, I recommend getting to the show early (like 6-6:15) and seeing what we’ve got available at the table. We set aside about 15 walk up tix, first come, first serve. We want you to have them. You really don’t wanna miss this incredible night. I so...

That is, we’re not in a war on abortion, gang. We’re not in a war on women. We’re in a class…

Also, if you need to be added to the Nobody Turned Away/Sliding Scale/I Am...

From Rob Sweeney. Please help if you can!: “My sister is sick — really sick. She has a rare and fast-moving type of leukemia, and needs a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. The good news is that the specialist who (literally) wrote the book on bone marrow transplants has agreed to take her case. The challenging part is we need to find a way to get my sister from Virginia to...

WatchKickstarter - Get The Shondes back on the road!
I love this band (and, full disclosure, their awesome guitarist is one my dearest & oldest friends). I just became a backer. You should, too. Don’t you want a Donut Map of the U.S. & Canada? Or for them to write a song for you? :)
