DESCRIPTION:QUEER OPEN MIC  Friday May 13th @ Three Dollar Bill Cafe!  1800 Market St @ 
 Octavia, SF     Featuring Meliza Bañales    sign up at 7:30, performances 
 at 8pm. Subvert the superstitions and reclaim the magic of Friday the 13th 
 at the Queer Open Mic. Anything could happen...        Plus you get to hear 
 Meliza Bañales, who has been called, "The girl with the sense of humor of 
 a jackknife." She originally hails from Los Angeles and is the youngest of 
 four kids from working-poor parents. The first Latina to ever win a Bay 
 Area slam championship, she has been a fixture in the poetry slam community 
 for the past six years. She has performed in just about everywhere--parks, 
 bars, street corners, universities, restaurants, cross-country, 
 internationally-- and with just about everyone from school children to 
 Alice Walker, June Jordan, and Ana Castillo.     Her work can be found in 
 numerous anthologies and magazines, including Revolutionary Voices, 
 Lodestar Quarterly, and Laundry Pen, and through her own publications, 
 published on both Chula and Monkey Press. Her work has often been called 
 "edgy", "political", and "muy caliente". Always looking to fight the good 
 fight, Meliza's work uses humor and personal stories to display larger 
 truths and oppressions. She has co-written the play Starfuckers (2004), is 
 a regular contributor to On Our Backs, andreleased the album Happy Accident 
 (2004). Her first collection of poems, Say It With Your Whole Mouth, can be 
 found on Monkey Press\n
