I do. I've been meaning to set this list up ever since but the huge amount of stuff that has been happening with the IMC and the folk series has kept me too busy to get around to it. But since Doria is playing tonight at the Channing-Murray (1209 W. Oregon, 8pm) I thought there is no better time to get this list fired up, since I'm sure we'll recruit some more people tonight. So: Are folks still excited about putting on a queerstock event? Now that the IMC venue space is not available any suggestions on a good venue? Any suggestions on a best date? It'd be great if everyone could post a brainstorm post introducing themselves, saying what outreach resources we might be able to use, what kind of organizing work you might be able to do, what artists/performers you'd like to see at this event? Think October. http://www.queerstock.org/ I hope I see some of you folks tonight! -- Zachary C.

Main Suite 110 217-344-8820 This show will be at the IMC (downtown Urbana) in the gallery. This is the first show we've had at the IMC since May when our performance space was closed down. Staceyann Chin is a slam poet from New York. She has won dozens of awards for her work and she will soon appear on HBO's Def Poetry Jam. The last time Staceyann Chin played in town she drew hundreds of fans. Now is your chance to see her in a very intimate setting slaming solo rhymes and collaborating with Doria. Staceyann Chin, a Jamaican woman living in New York, fiercely believes in the world's "range of possibilities." Her sexy "Litany of Desires" crescendoes into a fire that has the house enraptured -- and howling. - San Fransisco Examiner This will be Doria Roberts' third appearance in an IMC show. Everytime she has performed has been inspiring. She plays a funky overlap of fierce folk with an R&B groove and a jazzy awesome voice. Doria is a big supporter of Indymedia and spreads the word about our movement to her audiences nationwide. "Just a girl and her guitar can sometimes blast above the rowdiest rock. That's the case with Doria Roberts. Her lyrical wisdom and simple strums combine to make for one grooving gig. Roberts' music is both political and emotionally savvy. " -- Curve Magazine "Doria Roberts plays a delicious almost indescribable acoustic based mix of folk, R&B and jazz. Singing it with sweet soul and a whole lotta class" -- Hal Horowitz, Atlanta Press Doria and Staceyann are heading up to a women's music festival in Chicago and we're very lucky that they decided to stop in to Champaign-Urbana on the way. Capacity of this show is limitted to 49 people. If you arrive early and pay we can stamp your hands so you can be sure to get back in when the show starts without having to wait. There will be no opening act so arrive on time to catch Doria and Staceyann! Come to four IMC sponsored folk shows and get your fifth one free. Take our survey and get a free sampler CD for the folk music series. http://folk.chambana.net This show will be all ages, non-smoking, and non-alcoholic. Cross-fire by staceyann chin Am I a feminist or a womanist the student wants to know definitions and affiliations are important to her She loathes the new age revolutionary unable to claim a cause she listens uncomfortable asks again am I a top or a bottom do I do men occasionally primarily am I a lesbian and if so how is it exactly that I DO women Tongue tied up to my cheek I attempt to respond with honesty- This business of dykery I tell her is often messy you never quite know what you're getting -girls who are only straight at night -hardcore butches who sport dresses between nine and six during the day maybe she is really a he trapped by the limitations of our imagination Primarily I am concerned about young women who are raped on college campuses in cars after poetry readings in bars In New York City a girl is beaten every 12 seconds by her lover bruised lip and broken heart you will forgive her if she does not come forward with the truth immediately when she does she will stand trial as damaged goods Everyone will say she asked for it dressed as she was she must have wanted it short skirt could only mean that she wanted it The words will knock about in her head horny bitch slut harlot tease loose woman some people cannot handle a women on the loose noose around her body they look for inscriptions on her collar wonder why she's wearing cargo pants and pearls wonder how big that dick is under her skirt Not strapped with that kind of courage I leave my electric pink dildo in my room when I come out I'll invite you to bring yours when you come over risk the drama of collaboration a little bit of everything makes my world an interesting place -and while we're on the subject of diversity ASIA IS NOT ONE BIG RACE! -and there is no country called "the islands" -and no I am not from there There are a hundred ways to slip between the cracks of your assumptions and other peoples interpretations of race and religion most people are surprised my father is Chinese like there's a preconditioned look for the half-Chinese lesbian poet who is also Jamaican but lives in Far Rockaway Queens let's keep it real, says the boy in the double-X hooded sweatshirt that blond haired blue eyed Jesus in the Vatican ain't right that mother fucker was Jewish, not white Christ was a Middle Eastern Rastaman He ate grapes in the company of prostitutes and drank wine more than he drank water born of the spirit the disciples loved him in the flesh but the discourse is not on people who identify as gay or lesbian or straight The State needs us to be left or right those in the middle get caught in the cross -fire away at the other side If you are not for us you must be against us People get scared enough they pick a team everything is about declarations nothing of independence in America you could get capped for speaking out against a policy designed to remove the legs from small Afghanistan children Quick! America under attack do your part and shop The directive is on every channel the president has spoken and now we must all act with patriotic conscience I say God is that place between belief and what you name it I believe holy is what you do when there is nothing between your actions and the truth The truth is I am afraid to draw black lines around me I am not always pale in the middle I come in too many flavors for one single spoon I am never one thing or the other at night I am everything I fear tears and sorrow black windows and bad dreams in the morning I am nothing I cannot handle rain and laughter and footprints my mothers pain is borderless without breath or definition I claim the dawn for yesterday is simply what I was and tomorrow today will be gone -- Zachary C.
