DESCRIPTION:  Announcing an all out major benefit party to kick-off the fundraising 
 strategy for filming of GODSPEED, the movie, based upon the award-winning 
 book of the same name by dynamo Lynn Breedlove, this summer. Hot off the 
 heels of financial support from San Francisco darlings, The Sisters Of 
 Perpetual Indulgence, Godspeed has amassed major players from San 
 Francisco's performance communities to raise funds:  Be dazzled by special 
 appearances from JAY WALKER, star of the documentary "Jaywalking", Mr. 
 Trannyshack 2004, Winner of the San Francisco Drag King Contest, 2005; drag 
 king troupes THE COCKIVORES (brilliant gender-benders, stole the show at 
 the Erotic Exotic Ball, 2005) and CITIZEN KINGS (runner up for Best Drag 
 King Troupe for SFDK 2005, political virtuosos);  members of the DIAMOND 
 DAGGERS, performing their hot, show-stopping feminine burlesque (these 
 ladies sometimes dance with  water!!); DAMEGOODZ featuring the stellar Skye 
 Patrick;  SISTAS IN THE PIT, giving us music we can dance to; politicizing 
 while philosophizing their dance moves are BURLESQUE ESQUE who are 
 returning to the stage for this important benefit after what feels like a 
 really long break...MC'ing the night's show with adorable high-energy are 
 the RADICAL CHEERLEADERS and the OAKLAND FEJACKS; and rounding out the 
 night with all their sexiness are amazing songsters STORM FLOREZ and SHAWNA 
 VIRAGO performing solo!!!   GODSPEED is a beautiful narrative set against 
 the backdrop of San Francisco. Based on the award winning novel by punk 
 rock star, Lynn Breedlove, this project features a transgender 
 punk-rocker's story on the big screen for the first time. Jim is addicted 
 to speed both metaphorically and physically; he just can't bike fast enough 
 to deliver his package or get to his stripper girl's house. "This ain't no 
 L-Word," states co-director Shani Heckman. "Jim won't be wearing any Prada 
 or renting a fabulous condo, instead, much like his predecessors, she's 
 focused only on survival in the big city and finding true love."  The 
 Godspeed Film Project is a fiscally sponsored project of Intersection for 
 the Arts,http://www.intersectionarts.org, San Francisco's oldest 
 alternative arts space, presenting ground-breaking work in the literary, 
 performing, visual and Interdisciplinary arts. Donations made directly to
