Reminder: Gay Shame Meetings at Modern Times @ Sat Feb 27 5:30pm - 7pm (Queer Things)
Gay Shame Meetings at Modern TimesGAY SHAME is a Virus in the System. We are committed to a queer extravaganza that brings direct action to astounding levels of theatricality. We will not be satisfied with a commercialized gay identity that denies the intrinsic links between queer struggle and challenging power. We seek nothing less than a new queer activism that foregrounds race, class, gender and sexuality, to counter the self-serving "values" of gay consumerism and the increasingly hypocritical left. We are dedicated to fighting the rabid assimilationist monster with a devastating mobilization of queer brilliance. GAY SHAME is a celebration of resistance: all are welcome. GAY SHAME meets every Saturday in the Tede Mathews Reading Room of Modern Times Bookstore @ 888 Valencia btw 19th + 20th. Meeting time is 5:30PM, which means that people begin to arrive at 5:30PM and we start the meeting no later than 5:45PM. In addition, we often hold smaller meetings throughout the week to plan specific actions and activities. http://www.gayshamesf.org

Reminder: Queer Open Mic at Modern Times @ Fri Feb 26 7pm - 9pm (Queer Things)
Queer Open Mic at Modern Timesfrom our website: http://www.queeropenmic.com ... February 26 - Queer Open Mic with Michael Montlack In February, it sucks to be queer. Did you ever notice that? Way too many "boy" and "girl" cupids kissing on cards that tell your sweetheart that you'll love them forever. Hallmark doesn't have a M4M section in its mile-long row of pink heart-bedazzled schwag. Bridal shows don't have suggestions on how two brides can coordinate their dresses without breaking the "don't see the dress until the wedding" rule…. Well, bah on all of them, we say! Make this month the queerest you can. Dress yourself up as cupid, and hand out your email address to cute young things down in SoMa. Take your lover out dancing and recreate that magical first meeting - you know, the one where you were so nervous that you almost threw up on your shoes? Rail at the universe and believe in love, even if for just one night. And if you're so motivated, bring your leftover angst, schadenfreude, and any other psychological fugue down to QOM so we can help you get it out. It's cathartic, you know. This month, we're so thrilled to have Michael Montlack at the mic! About Michael Montlack: Michael Montlack is the editor of the essay anthology My Diva: 65 Gay Men on the Women Who Inspire Them (University of Wisconsin Press, 2009) and the author of three poetry chapbooks: Cover Charge (Winner of the 2007 Gertrude Prize); Girls, Girls, Girls (Pudding House, 2008); and The Slip (Poets Wear Prada, 2009). His work has appeared in Cimarron Review, Swink, New York Quarterly, Poet Lore, Court Green, Columbia Poetry Review, MiPOesias and other journals. Recently he was awarded residencies from Ucross (Wyoming), Soul Mountain Retreat (Connecticut), VCCA (Virginia) and Lambda Literary Retreat (California). He splits his time between New York City (where he teaches at Berkeley College) and San Francisco, and has just finished writing his first novel. Queer Open Mic featuring Michael Montlack
