Lookit. I’m so psyched. Coming this fall, The Essential Dykes To Watch Out For. Most, though not all, of the DTWOF episodes collected in one big volume. This is very exciting for me, and a big relief, because Read the rest of this entry »

It was so nice here today I was prompted to make another installment in the video series, Wild Kingdom: Shaky Handheld Footage of my Back Yard.

Jeezum crow. I’ve had no internet access for 48 hours and I was getting the DTs. I’ve been on the road, doing some speaking engagements that I meant to post about but I haven’t had a chance because of aforementioned lack of access.

I’ll be back, I hope, with a more relevant post before my flight leaves for Minneapolis.

beebo

I went to NYC last weekend to see a performance of The Beebo Brinker Chronicles. It’s based on Ann Bannon’s pulp fiction novels from the early sixties. Have you read these? I was addicted to them when Naiad Press reissued them in the early eighties. I’ve probably read Odd Girl Out a dozen times. Read the rest of this entry »
