rejoining the sisterhood
After last week's breeder-like bonanza, I made good on my promise to dyke things up this weekend. Okay, so perhaps I didn't get my Wiccan on nor did I salivate my way through Little Man Tate, but I did manage to be good and gay for a couple of days, uh, straight.
On Friday night, I had drinks with my sister in Sappho, JC, at Ginger's in Park Slope, aka Lesbian Mecca. We eschewed the hip and happening Cattyshack in favor of the more laid-back pub so that we could actually hear each other speak. And speak we did! We killed several hours kvelling over exes, talkin' 'bout chicks and tearing through several other topics that put us squarely in the homo girl category.
When we left, it was good and cold outside. JC was kind enough to let me take the first available cab while she waited in the chilly night. However, I think she got the last laugh because the minute I closed the cab door, I was bitch-slapped by the unmistakable stench of Cab Driver B.O.™
Now, if you're unfamiliar with the scent, imagine, if you will, that someone ingested a mixture of sweat and ass and then explosively shit it back out. Yeah, it's kinda like that. And in the cold weather, there's an extra layer to the stank because the car's heat in conjunction with the closed windows really bake in the smell. The resulting aroma is very robust with a Cajun-like influence that's enough to singe a few nose hairs.
On Saturday night I went to the Best Lesbian Short Films screening and social held at the venerable Bluestockings Bookstore on the Lower East Side. Sandra Grace organized the event and it was a huge success. Despite the lack of advertising, the place was overflowing with people primarily because of word-of-mouth. I received the invite from Sandra a couple of weeks ago and promptly forwarded it to several friends. It turns out that everyone had the same idea because the place was jammed with an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. For once, people exercised the power of the forward function for good.
Sandra has another event coming soon! Here's the info:
