Split Britches (#72)
By popular demand and due to the fascinating new format ("Long Table" a creation of co-founder Lois Weaver) the Lesbian group Split Britches will be coming back with a VERY timely topic-the upcoming Presidential Election. Lois and co-founder Peggy Shaw have brought us this new format which proved to be a lively and evocative afternoon last Spring.

Drag Show Video Verite (#73)
Dr. Joe E Jeffreys brings us the second installment of his informative work about the long and glorious tradition of Drag Queens and Drag Performers.
Drag Show Video Vérité gathers and screens rare film and video that documents the faces and places, past and present, of New York City’s vibrant drag scene. This all new 2008 edition offers more colorful and never before publicly screened footage from the 1950s to the present and offers a who’s who of NYC’s male and female impersonators. It's the ultimate NYC drag show...on videotape.

Something" is part of the Drag Show Video Verite lineup.
Admission is free; we do pass the hat keeping with tradition.
