No Penises on the Land, Addendum to MWMF Policy:When the MWMF organizers extended the "womyn-born womyn only policy" to include the "no penises on the land" clause, they took an essentialist stance in claiming an individual’s gender is tied to the presence or absence of a particular form of genitalia. While this clause would allow for pre-operative female to male (FTM) transsexuals and post-operative male to female (MTF) transsexuals to participate in the festival, it is an extremely dangerous argument that ignores many issues within the womyn’s community.

Karma Sutra plays what may be their last show of 2002 this Saturday at "Give Peace a Dance - Earth Dance" in Chicago. This, from their email list; the show schedule is also up at DivaNation's site, for nonsubscribers.
Nothing about Scarlet Life shows, but Yvonne Bruner of Big Hat will be performing with Pointy Teeth.
Anybody need a scorecard to keep track of all that?
Briefly cheered by a cancellation notice, until I realized it was the Salt Lake City show, not the one at Patty's wedding. Darn. Looks like she's going through with it, and I have to wait for the marriage to break up after all. . .
Note to Karen: there is no such thing as too much ani, and how was I supposed to know Patty was straight?
