Anarcha-Queers! Trannies! Fairies! Perverts! Sex-Workers! Sex-Radicals!
Allies!

Bash Back! is ecstatic to announce a national radical queer
convergence to take place in Chicago, May 28th through May 31st of 2009!
We’re pleased to invite all radical queers to join us for a weekend of
debauchery and mischief. The last weekend of May will prove to be four solid days of workshops, discussions, performances, games, dancing and street action!

We’ll handle the food and the housing. Ya’ll bring the orgy, riot,
and decadence!

We’re looking for folks to facilitate discussions, put on workshops, organize caucuses, share games, tell stories, get heavy in some theory, or bottom-line a dance party. More specifically we’re looking for
workshops themed around queer and trans liberation, anti-racism, confronting patriarchy, sex work, ableism, self defense, DIY mental and sexual health, radical history, pornography, or queer theory. We are also looking for copious amounts of glitter, safer sex products, zines, home-made sex toys, balaclavas, pink and black flags, sequins, bondage gear, rad porn, flowers, strap-ons, and assorted dumpstered goodies. You down?

I want to go. Badly. I would actually facilitate a workshop. I really would.

But I have to find a way to make it to Chicago for then. And somehow I doubt my parents would let me miss a day or two of school, possibly, to go to a "radical queer confrence."

A girl can dream, can't she?

(At that point, I'll be a month away from graduating high school. Graduation present, perhaps?)

3. Sounds like great fun!

But if you can't make it because of school, then just come to New Orleans when you can. We got all that shit daily in the Quarter, sans workshops!:rofl:
