Yeah, I cropped some guy's head out of it and my phone was on super zoom with no flash... grainy, slightly blurry. She read a couple poems and two chapters from her memoir. The first chapter was introductory, but ch. 15 was about the 1972 Democratic convention. Madeline was the first ever out lesbian delegate to a major party convention and made a short speech asking the party to adopt a pro-gay platform plank. It failed of course, but how freakin' cool to be hearing about gay rights in July 1972 when the NYS senate may be passing a marriage equality amendment in June 2011? That's my lifetime, folks. Change is possible but it takes a lot people who have the courage to stand where she has.
She then read the 1972 speech in public for the first time since 1972. My eyes were wet. Her language asking for people to recognize our right to exist was so consistent with the rhetoric around same-sex marriage - all focusing on love. Amazing.

It was sufficiently functional to wash my hands. I didn't turn it all the way on for the picture.

If I knew my street had double sided parking during art fest, I might have ventured out for groceries sooner. China & I are hungry!

I wonder why they don't have double sided parking the whole summer?

(e:paul) lol that's so Lady Gaga. Or maybe Weird Al. :::link:::
Thank goodness I don't have cockroaches. I assisted him out the window this morning. He spent the night in the sink. I think he couldn't get out.
Cockroaches are a bigger problem..
leave em.. he eats cockroaches.
What Paul said. Failing that you can drown them in a bucket. Apparently they can't swim: :::link::: And you never know what evil cousins are waiting. :::link:::
OMG. Scooter Cleopatra!
I find the best way to move them is to catch them in your eye lid and then blink real hard till you get outside.
