FEATURING KATRINA RECTO

Queer Open Mic is a twice monthly gathering of poets, performers, writers and artists of all types to come together and share art hosted by Mollena Williams and Cindy Emch. Proto-feminist and genderqueer in scope, QOM aims to combine raunchy enthusiasm, warmth and community, unapologetic queer, radical politics and sweet rhythms to create a space for spoken word, poetry and performance that is multi cultural, multi gendered, completely inclusive and dynamic.



Queer Open Mic is in part supported by a generous grant from the New Venture Seed Fund, a program of And Castro For All.

FEATURING DAPHNE GOTTLIEB

Queer Open Mic is a twice monthly gathering of poets, performers, writers and artists of all types to come together and share art hosted by Mollena Williams and Cindy Emch. Proto-feminist and genderqueer in scope, QOM aims to combine raunchy enthusiasm, warmth and community, unapologetic queer, radical politics and sweet rhythms to create a space for spoken word, poetry and performance that is multi cultural, multi gendered, completely inclusive and dynamic. The featured performer for 6/27 is the incredible Daphne Gottlieb who stiches together the gutter and the ivory tower just using her tongue.

public service announcement

passing it along:
Call for Submissions:
*Still Blue: More Writing By (For or About)Working- Class Queers*

Please post/repost. (Please also forgive duplicates.)

Following the success of *Everything I Have is Blue: Short Fiction by
Working-Class Men about More-or-Less Gay Life*
(http://everythingihavei sblue.com/ ), a new anthology on queer,
working-class themes is currently in preparation.

Writers are encouraged to send their work for possible inclusion in the
new volume, tentatively entitled
*Still Blue: More Writing By (For or About) Working-Class Queers*.

Writers of any and all genders are welcome!

Like *Everything I Have Is Blue,* *Still Blue* is meant to showcase our
imaginative writing: short fiction, life writing, memoir, poems, work
that doesn't fit the categories. If it illuminates our realities, our
struggles, our resistance to assimilation and mental gentrification, and
if it's well written, I'll consider it respectfully. (Submissions of
previously published work, as long as you hold the copyright, are also
welcome.)

Please *do not* submit erotica, as I cannot use it.

Send submissions as an email attachment formatted in Word to me at:

editor (at) everythingihaveisbl ue dot com

Be sure to include a biography. [If your server doesn't like that
address, try me at wendell.ricketts at gmail dot com.]

Submissions must be received by July 1, 2008.

Work not selected for the print anthology may also be considered for the
online "Still Blue Project":
http://www.everythingihaveisb lue.com/still.html . "Still Blue" currently
contains new work by Keith Banner, Donal Mosher, Allen Conkle, and Anton
Veenstra.

Many thanks!
