A TRUE MESS

Hope everyone had a FANTASTIC weekend.

It was great seeing some of you peoples at Constance's. Here's a big thanks to that amazing blond-dreaded woman.

I got this notification for Wm&Mary's GALA film festival this fall. So grab yourself some popcorn and watch a great queer film some night.

GALA Fall Film Festival

College of William & Mary, Fall 2007

Sponsored by W&M Gay and Lesbian Alumni/ae Association, Inc.

All events are free and open to the campus community

	Norie, one of 3 stories featured	Friday October 5th 6:30 p.m. Tucker 120 Boy I Am (Sam Feder and Julie Hollar, 2007) Co-sponsor: Women Studies Program	A new documentary about body alteration and gender passing, this film discusses the pressures/desires of transgendering and frames it with dialogues with feminist and gay and lesbian scholars and activists.
	2004 Sundance Special Jury Prize	Friday October 26th 6:30 p.m. Tucker 120 Seventh Annual GALA Film Night at Homecoming Reception and screening: Brother to Brother (Rodney Evans, 2004) Co-sponsors: Black Studies Program English Department	A feature-length drama which invokes the glory days of the Harlem Renaissance through the memories of Bruce Nugent, who co-founded the revolutionary literary journal Fire!! with Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston and Wallace Thurman. As an elderly man, Nugent meets a young black gay artist struggling to find his voice and together they embark on a surreal narrative journey through his inspiring past.
	.. Long time activists Barbara Gittings (left) and her partner Kay Tobin Lahusen tell the world just how many years they have been fighting for gay rights in After Stonewall. (photo credit: Wayne Marquardt)	Saturday November 17th 1:30-6:30 p.m. Andrews 101 1:30-3:00 p.m. Before Stonewall (87 min.) 3:00-5:00 p.m. Reception and Discussion with the Filmmaker, John Scagliotti 5-6:30 p.m. After Stonewall (88 min.) Co-sponsor: Film Studies Program	Before Stonewall traces the social, political and cultural development of the gay and lesbian community. As such, the film is not a narrow history of gay civil rights, but the hidden story of a vital American subculture. After Stonewall chronicles the gay and lesbian experience since the Stonewall riots, presenting a story as compelling, rewarding and provocative as the individual lesbians and gays who defined the era. Both films skillfully use interviews and archival footage to celebrate and record the homosexual experience in America.
	Vintage photograph of the Gephardt family	Friday November 30th 7:00 p.m. Tucker 120 For the Bible Tells Me So (Daniel Karslake, 2007) Co-sponsor: Mosaic House Host & Speaker: Rabbi David Edleson (’83)	This heartfelt documentary brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families – offering healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.

Alright. Someone needs to appreciate that I had to copy and paste all those photos into paint, save them, and then upload them individually and place them in the right boxes.

That's all I can think of for now.

Oh. One more thing. Britney Spears was a true mess tonight during the mtv movie awards. It was her "comeback" performance and it def looked like she hadn't practiced and might have been intoxicated. Check it: Banged-up Britney
(hopefully that works.)

Night beautifuls!
