I say we wait until the bronchial plague that is currently gripping the city subsides, and then go for it.

I would so much love to just tag along on a Warhol Trip if Ms. Springer came along! Hearing her whisper would be enough. I love her writing. :) I don't know when I'm 'free' again. That has very recently changed. Christine Oh! I would so much love to just tag along on a Warhol Trip if Ms. Springer came along! Hearing her whisper would be enough. I love her writing. :)

I don’t know when I’m ‘free’ again. That has very recently changed.

Sounds like we need a full day: morning writing time, and afternoon/evening Warhol jaunt! @ Christina:

My daughter went, not that long ago, 2002. But - that's a private conversation for another time. Glad you're happy with it. I know oher young families which are, as well. "The Other Voice," that's my brain-child. Sort of a writing workshop with invites the writer to exit their comfort zone and allow "other" voices to emerge. I went to [the same school].

The Man, a random parent at MM's school, and now you have all said I need to see the doc. I am going...calling first thing in the morning for an appt. I'm not familiar with "The Other Voice", but I'm always up for collaboration with writers that I admire. Do tell. Did your daughter go to [a certain nameless school]? She's all grown-up now, right? So it would have been several administrations ago. I've heard that they've seen some upheaval over the years, but we're happy, into our 4th year now. "...Like a bullet from a redneck's gun." LOVE that. :-) @ Christina:

If you have what I had...and it sounds like you do....stop - go to doctor and get antibiotics! That baby took me 5 weeks to pretend to be clear and I'm still not up to snuff. Anyway - sounded like your presentation was awesome! How excellent! I'd take that workshop in a heartbeat. (Hint Hint. Maybe some of the writers here could team up on something like, "The Other Voice.") And I'm glad it was well-received. (I believe my alma mater is your daughter's current. I took my Baby Girl out of there like a bullet from a redneck gun. So I'm glad that things seemed to have changed.) Deesha -

The TH at the Warhol was about the almost entirely unrecorded history of black men from the Hill and outlying areas who were very involved in cross-dressing and pre-modern medicine transgendered life. Apparently the Hill was an incredibly tolerant community, and it's one of the largest bodies of photographic work documenting not just black men in this life from this time, but ANY. Again, Teenie Harris is such a prolific artist - we are a fortunate community. And ... I'm gonna start drinking the Kool-Aid, Deesha. The blog is coming ... :) Christine We should!
