more details » Queer Open Mic at Modern Times from 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!
