two things i didn't know.
1. andrea dworkin died last month. i was never fully on board with dworkin, but i did see her speak at the feminist bookstore located in the big victorian near the old DAP. now what was that place called? i remember they had written across the inside of the porch, so you'd see it as you were leaving, "Thank you for your matronage". those were the days.
2. susie bright has a blog. i haven't been keeping up with her, but who can't get behind the work of a sex-positive feminist? i also saw her speak, back in the days when i'd do that sort of thing. i got her to sign something for me. she signed it, "clits up! Susie Bright," and drew a little heart.

I was really moved by Susie Bright's essay about Dworkin, especially considering they were -- well I was going to say they were ideological enemies, but I don't know if that's fair. That's pretty impressive that you saw both of them speak.

i really have jonathan to thank for seeing them. he was always the one who heard about cool people coming and got us out to see them. we also saw mary daly and john stoltenberg.

That place is (was?) called Southern Sisters. I just calculated and it was probably about 14 years ago when we saw Dworkin speak there. That's sick.
BTW I would still really like to catch up with you other than by reading your blog...though I do enjoy reading your blog :) I don't seem to have a valid email address for you though.
