The Great Big International Drag King Show 5
Get ready for The Great Big International Drag King Show 5 on Saturday, May 21st at the 9:30 Club in NW DC. Featuring Drag King acts such as the Cuntry Kings and Pat Riarch from Durham, NC and The4Man from our very own Washington, DC.
The Great Big International Drag King Show 5 continues as the featured night of entertainment for GenderPac's Fifth Annual National Conference on Gender 2005, May 20th-May 22nd at the DoubleTree Hotel in Crystal City.
"The National Conference on Gender brings together activists, educators and students for three days to discuss gender policy and strategy. Drag kings are the gender-bent rock and roll fantasy, the arbiters of pop-sized political messages and as American as Rogers & Hammerstein musical comedy. We are glad to team up with The Great Big International Drag King Show for a third year." says Riki Wilchins, Executive Director of The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition (GenderPAC).
Like the new Nationals team and the national museums, I'm glad The Great Big International Drag King Show 5 is there, but I probably won't make it to the game. Just one of the many neat things about DC, and I love what they're doing.
Good ego boost this week...I created a marketing plan with talking points for our department many moons ago. We just got a new Assistant Dean of Marketing for the school, who has started his own branding campaign for the school. At our last meeting, I noticed many of his talking points for the school were similar to mine for the department, and I pointed out that all of our school and my department's features involved a high level of "engagement" on various levels between faculty, students, local federal agencies and labs, etc. So I suggested the tag line of "Engineering Engaged," and he took the idea and ran with it!!! I knew being voted "Most Creative" in my high school yearbook would profit some day...
