Decisions, decisions!
So, I'd suggested Fin change her visit date to the weekend of the 17th, since that's when the Vagina Monologues will be playing according to my friend Casey who has a role, and that's pretty much right up our alley in terms of entertainment. On the other hand, this is really damned tempting, and that means Fin won't be here to see it with me. And although it's probably unrealistic to think I could afford a plane ticket down to B'more this month, it also means that it's definitely not an option to see it with lunatickle and fabulousmisst (who sent me the notice) there. *continuing to think out loud* However, I should definitely talk to Casey and syrinx_77 about going to see it; I bet they'd both be interested, and I've wanted them to meet for a while anyway.

************************************************************************
The Sex Workers' Art Show Tour is coming to your town! The show is an
eye-popping evening of visual and performance art created by people who
work in the sex industry to dispel the myth that they are anything short
of artists, innovators, and geniuses!
The acclaimed cabaret-style show is hitting the road again, bringing
audiences a blend of spoken word, music, drag, burlesque, and
multimedia performance art. Intelligent and hot, disturbing and
hilarious, the performances offer a wide range of perspectives on sex
work, from celebration of prostitutes' rights and sex-positivity to
views from the darker sides of the industry.
This year's incredible lineup of performers includes international
burlesque sensation Miss Dirty Martini; award-winning queer author of
How I Learned to Snap Kirk Read; acclaimed Whitney Biennial artist
Julie Atlas Muz; author of Happy Baby and My Girlfriend Comes to the
City and Beats Me Up Stephen Elliott; stripper historian and burlesque
professor Jo Weldon; member of the internationally renowned Japanese
performance collective Dumb Type, Cono Snatch Zubobinskaya; enigmatic
operatic musician Reginald Lamar; feminist smut purveyor and queer film
star Amber Dawn; filmmaker and performer Bridget Irish; and tour founder
and ringmaster Annie Oakley.
The show includes people from all areas of the sex industry: strippers,
prostitutes, dommes, film stars, phone sex operators, internet
models, etc. It smashes traditional stereotypes and moves beyond
"positive" and "negative" into a fuller articulation of the complicated
ways sex workers experience their jobs and their lives. The Sex
Workers' Art Show entertains, arouses, and amazes while
simultaneously offering scathing and insightful commentary on
notions of class, race, gender, labor and sexuality!
