more details » Queer Open Mic with Liz Green at Borderlands Cafe May 20th: Queer Open Mic with Liz Green http://queeropenmic.com Hey hey, it's May – and everything is topsy-turvy! We've bid goodbye to our former home at 888 Valencia as our beloved Modern Times bookstore changes locations — and of course, we're traveling too! This month (and, we think, this month only) we've been taken in by the amazing Borderlands Cafe, at 870 Valencia Street. Not only are we at a brand new (temporary) location this month, but also we're on a brand new (temporary) day. This month we'll be on the 3rd Friday, May 20th, rather than our usual 4th Friday event time. Can you handle the changes?! Of course you can. Very probably you are a master of handling change. You've weathered the storms. You've come out on top. You could probably teach us a thing or two! In fact, please do! Come on down to the Borderlands this month, and tell us about your change. And while you're there, listen to our feature tell her story, radical pedagogy and all.
