Oh yeah - I almost forgot to say - I read Hillary Carlip's "Queen of the Oddballs" and liked it. In fact I recommend it ... extremely amusing... memoir of 70s, 80s, a bit of 90s and a riot grrl awakening. Crucial lesbian history! 8-) Good for fangirls to read.
I used to have a bunch of copies of "Girlpower" which I bought at some half-price books type of place for very cheap. Now I only have one. That book should be the first of many like it. At this point, it should just be an enormous group blog.
Note to self to send Carlip my poem about Lisa and Wendy and Apollonia.
I LOVED that book! It cracked me up. I had the good fortune of meeting her and the rest of the Memoirists Collective when they were in Cleveland earlier this month. She is just as amusing and witty in person.
