julia update june 2013!

Hello, welcome to June, happy Pride month!

Speaking thereof, I will be participating in two Pride month events:

1) Thursday, June 27th will be Girl Talk's big 5 year anniversary show! For those unfamiliar with the show, it is an annual spoken word show (with some music and other art/performances) designed to foster dialogue about the many relationships (partners, lovers, friends, & allies) shared by queer trans women, queer cis women, and genderqueer folks.



In addition to being one of the co-curators of the show (along with Gina de Vries and Elena Rose), I will be performing in it as well. We have an amazing cast, including Dominika Bednarska, Gina de Vries, DavEnd, Dr. Carol Queen, Elena Rose, Jos Truitt, and Tara Hardy!

More info about all the performers (and the show) can be found here:

The show will be at the African American Art & Culture Complex (AAACC)
762 Fulton Street @ Webster
at 7:30pm
$12 – $20 sliding scale online; $15 – $20 at the door.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Past Girl Talk shows have *SOLD OUT* up to a week in advance, so I highly recommend purchasing tickets online RIGHT NOW at:
