multi-flavor-geek's Journal: Take back the night, or beware the dyke....

I went to a take back the night rally because they wanted us to do a quick performance of some material from one of our recent shows, my god what a nightmare. The stage was 1/3rd the size of the basement I live in. The sound system showed up 1/2 an hour before show time, and I was the only one who knew how to run it. The show we were suppose to do material from is tv14 / R rated, and most of the croud was elementary school aged, ack! We open our segment with 'me and a gun' from Tori Amos, and the jump into 'Ted, just admit it' from Janes Addiction, this was not flying well with the dumb dyke (and I do not use that term lightly) who was MC'ing the thing. Oh well, shit happens. She should have told us that the victims of sexual assault support group was abunch of 7 year olds ahead of time, and if she knew how to arrange anything beyond a buffet table that would be great too. I take this stuff seriously, and I want the people that organize it to take it seriously too, not just pull together some friends and fem-a-nazis to wing it.
