Community Reception and Reading on April 9, 2015

The local bi+ community welcomes AWP attendees!

Bi+ people and their allies are invited to attend a welcoming reception hosted by the Bisexual Organizing Project, the Minnesota-based bi community organization working to build, serve and advocate for an empowered bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community in order to promote social justice.

The best reading of the night will receive a cash prize of $100!

The following fabulous authors will be reading their work:

Haddayr Copley-Woods
Liz Green
Lou Hoffman
Camille Holthaus
Catherine Lundoff
Nikolas Martell
Elise Matthesen
Jennifer Perrine
Glenn Shifflet
Emily Weiss

Nicollet Diner

Thursday, April 9, 2015
7:30 - 9:30 pm
Free and open to the public

The Fine Print:

Stories and poems must be an original piece of their own writing and be of special interest to bi+ people.
If the author goes over 8 minutes, there will be some embarrassing buzzer, bell or hook to end the reading and people will laugh.
A committee of judges will be the sole determiner of the winner, and there will be no appealing their god-like decision.
The best reading award will be given at 9:30 pm

BECAUSE

BECAUSE 2023

Wellstone Center

We hope you will join us for the BECAUSE Conference as it's never been before: a hybrid event of in-person and online workshops, speakers, and social events. With Zoom producers and experienced programming staff, we are developing a new way of experiencing BECAUSE while keeping all the engagement, support, and community that has been at the core of the conference for the last 30 years.

Vision

Within the next five years grow Bisexual Organizing Project (BOP) into a successfully-run Upper Midwest nonprofit organization with annual funding of $100,000 that provides community building, education, and advocacy for the bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community and our allies.

I have a coming of age story of a young bi-women published in an anthology a couple of years ago. It is set in the disco-era, NYC summer blackout where things heated up. Did I really say that? LOL I would love to be part of this event if it is suitable....
