Today's mini-adventure with kids involved a walk through the neighborhood, taking a staircase up to an unknown neighborhood, and ending up accidentally walking right past <user=onyxlynx>'s building. Then onto Splash Pad Park for impromptu wading. Next time I must bring a towel. Heck, next time I should probably bring bathing suits. Also bubbbles. We finished with a trip to the bookstore where we bought <a href=http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9780152012885-7 target=_blank>Raising Dragons</a> because, well, brown girls plus dragons. Also "Bread and Jam for Frances" because it's time.
In the evening I attended the first night of <a href=http://queerculturalcenter.org/NQAF/performance/the-biggest-quake/ target=_blank>The Biggest Quake</a>. Let me quote the blurb for you:
"The Biggest Quake brings together eight San Francisco artists with varied backgrounds in writing, performance art, music, public health, science and AIDS activism. In preparation for these three evenings, the eight artists created brand new essays and performance works in collaboration with one another. The location, Metropolitan Community Church, was ground zero for hundreds of memorial services during the peak of the AIDS years. The work promises to be funny, touching, harrowing, historical and controversial. The artists spent hours having conversations as a group and individually, deepening their understanding of the AIDS epidemic. The variety of voices here creates a dialogue that goes across generational, gender, and cultural lines. The purpose of this project is to generate new stories and thinking about AIDS and to spark a resurgence of artists making work about the epidemic, in terms of history, where we are now, and the future imaginary."
Performers include Kirk Read, Carol Queen, Justin Chin, Julia Serano, Ed Wolf, and Brontez Purnell. The show was incredible and I urge you all to see it, too.
