That's how USA Today phrases it in the headline. "3rd adult movie performer tests for HIV." Which is better than the other screaming "HIV OUTBREAK IN PORN INDUSTRY" headlines other organizations are using.

Picked up Families Like Mine: Children of Gay Parents Tell It Like It Is by the lovely and talented Abigail Garner at the library. Interlibrary loan; I did pester the poor woman behind the counter about getting their own copy, as I'd been ordered under theat of greivous bodily injury politely asked to do.

7-11PM at The Flat Iron Building, 1935 1/2 W North Ave, if you're thinking of ambling that way yourself. At the very least, we are also promised a "big drawing of a nekkid lady with vines on her."

By the bye, anyone with greater mad HTML skillz wanna tell me if you can adjust the spacing around an IFRAME? Not thrilled with how that flows up there. . .
