Acclaimed lesbian performance/comedy/theater troup Split Britches is in town this weekend. They're at Open Eye Theater tonight and tomorrow night - http://www.openeyetheatre.org/display.php?active=69
Trying to save Pi - As you may or may not know, Pi Bar and Restaurant (http://www.pibarandrestaurant.com/), the South Minneapple's beloved queer women's/everyone's dancing/performance/drinking/socializing space is in mortal danger of closing up shop. Seems the mortgage payments ballooned and they need to come up with a lot of cash quickly. The plan is that they will close on Nov. 15th while they work out financing details. If those get sorted out, they'll reopen shortly thereafter. If not, no more Pi. Small donations and eating and drinking there will help a bunch, as of course, will large donations sent to:
Pi Bar
2532 25th Ave S
Minneapolis, MN 55406
And speaking of the 15th, local review mag Rain Taxi is bringing the awesome Samuel Delany to the Walker next weekend - Saturday, Nov.15th at 2 P.M. - http://www.raintaxi.com/readings/
I had a writing residency with Chip Delany a few years back and can vouch for the fact that it will be a fascinating talk. Highly recommended. :-)
