NEW YORK: late Aug. thru Sept. 4:
Republican National Convention
and protests.
For info, please see:
[ http://www.counterConvention.org ]

Republican National Convention will attempt to
exploit a nation's traumatic memories of 9-11-2001, by portraying the
Bush regime as effectively "fighting terror". Some protesters will claim that Iraq War
has drained resources away from fighting Al Qaeda and similar groups.
Others will raise many issues, including equal marriage rights.
......
Meanwhile, Cheney decides whether to seek a second term as veep.

*Friday August 27, signup at 7:30, reading at 8 pm: Queer Open Mic at the Center's Three Dollar Bill Cafe.
2nd and 4th Fridays.
Host Cindy M. Emch with featured readers. Adding to the mixing pot of spoken word in the city is a new open mic night at the SF LGBT Community Center. Pro grrrl, pro boi, and completely genderqueer in scope, the night aims to combine the raunchy enthusiasm of the Hole in the Wall, the warmth and community of Ashkenaz, the unapologetic queer of the Bearded Lady, the radical politics of Café Macondo and the sweet rhythms of El Rio to create a space for spoken word, poetry and performance that is feminist, multi cultural, multi gendered, completely inclusive and dynamic.
$1-5 donations benefit Femina Potens (http://www.feminapotens.com)
and The Center (http://www.sfcenter.org) in an effort to encourage more queer radical art in our community. No one turned away for lack of funds. There will be prizes for all readers and a special drawing for one lucky audience member!
At Three Dollar Bill Cafe 1800 Market @ Octavia (first floor of SF LGBT Community Center)
