Info about the Saturday cabaret at the femme conference in August is now up on the website. Friday night is up, too. Kind of makes my heart pound.

Bonus: I hadn't been able to figure out how to shrink that trike photo small enough to be an icon, but I think this might do it.

So off to San Francisco -- frantic at the moment, but really looking forward to seeing amarama and fattest, maybe everythingbagel and meeting anarqueso, gordonzola, charliegrrrl,nishgyrl, maybe plee, felicks maybe seeing firecat and wild_irises, maybe whumpdotcom at the reading tomorrow, and all, all, all. I am SO looking forward to the readings and the party on Sunday -- amarama and gordonzola are unbelievably generous to pull it together and all. I can't wait to see my other friends -- can not wait. (Hugs in person soon to beloved lurkers.) Just have to get past tonight's snow.

My internet access will be limited while I'm gone -- and the email address listed on my lj user page is probably the most likely to reach me.

Exposition. Complication. Climax. Denouement. So many stories.

It's called a spoken word variety show, and that's variety. To add to the challenge, I'm also my house at 4 am on the morning of this one to fly in and am planning to wear my new strapless bra in public for the first time. It's a pretty big leap from my quiet life dragging a little cart up and down Elm street in Northampton. How ever, gentle readers, will it all turn out?

The next two are just me and Venus of Chalk, and I bet they will be that gorgeous exchange of live presence and words that I love like the faces of those closest to me -- always more to see there. Just heard that an old, dear friend from high school (who my first book, Fat Girl Dances with Rocks is dedicated to, actually, may show up at one). :
