When It Rains It Pours
OK, not pours exactly. So a few weeks ago, while I was still working in the closet, people kept walking past from the conference room saying things like, "Mmmmm. That felt good." Finally, I went out in the hall to see what was going on. They had hired a maseuse! But it was for STAFF ONLY. All day, that line from Snoopy, Come Home kept going through my head: NO DOGS ALLOWED!
So anyway, I just got a call, and this woman from work, a woman I actually really like, invited me to her house tonight for a spa treatment by this same lady. Damn, I could use that. What I wish is that the…
OH WAIT! OH WAIT! I can go tomorrow night at 8pm instead!!! I just checked my own blog. ADD is a bitch, huh? OK, so I’m going to the LIA Sucks Comedy thingy TOMORROW, and tonight it’s Spa-time! I ROOOOL!!!

Update: Crap! Turns out it’s one of those buy-our-stuff parties. I can’t do that. I’m allergic. I’ll be at the meeting for Zach, but I probably won’t volunteer. I’m already doing as much as I have time for. I can’t tell you how behind I am on work stuff. It’s non-good.
Join Me Tonight
EJ posted about this and asked we spread the word. EJ, consider it spread. I will be there. Just ambling over myself, so if I know you and I see you, I may join you. You know, unless you’re on a hot date. The sekrit signal will be to point at the person you’re with and say, "I’m on a date!"
The following information came from the Memphis Digital Arts Co-op:
Friday June 24th 7:00pm
The MGLCC will host the QAC, and the community to speak about the recent protests, and talk about further events, as well as an adgenda for the future of educating the public, and taking action when action is called upon.
Friday June 24th 8pm, and Saturday June 25th 8pm
Peterson Toscano, a former Love in Action client, will be coming to Memphis to perform his one-person play, Doin’ Time in the Homo No Mo Halfway House. See for yourself what happens behind the doors of America’s zaniest ex-gay residential program! Through five characters Toscano takes you on a tour of the Homo No Mo Halfway House, a 12-Step Christian program that attempts to save men from the snares of homosexuality through bizarre rules, a masculine resuscitation regime and brain numbing reconditioning. Based on Toscano’s real life experience floundering in various Ex-gay ministries, he weaves together humor, program jargon and outrageous eyewitness accounts to form a piece that is hilarious, poignant and inspirational.
"The play is intelligently written, hysterical at times, poignant, and most of all, deeply spiritual because of its underlying themes of self-examination and self acceptance…Toscano’s acting skills as well as the format of the piece recall the one-woman shows of Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg whose character studies unearth the neurotic complications in all of us." –John W. Sykes, in newsweekly
Saturday June 25TH @ 4pm
Peterson also will be doing "Talking Trash in the Homo No Mo’ Halfway House –Language, Life and Lies in the Ex-Gay Movement", a more Lecture-stylized piece.
Zach Blog Finally Deleted
Well, MySpace has removed Zach’s blog, which isn’t surprising. It was probably costing them a mint in bandwidth. I have the 4 crucial LIA entries both cached and saved. Anyone have a large amount of bandwidth available? I’d be happy to mirror these with a bandwidth donation, unless anyone can think of a good idea for why I shouldn’t do that. I know there was some concern about his anonymity, but I think we’re kind of past that now.
False alarm! Nevermind! :S
