<p><b>Film: <a href="http://www.kersplebedeb.com/mystuff/video/msr/yap_int.html" target="_blank">Yapping Out Loud by Mirha -Soleil Ross (2004)</a></b><br>
A video documentary based on first-person Toronto performance show (7
monologues) dealing with prostitution and anti-prostitution. A tour de
force by Canada’s most famous transsexual sexworker animal-rights
activist performance artist, Yapping is hilarious and moving –half
autobiographical, half agitprop satire, fully unforgettable.</p>
<p><b>Sarah Bernard</b> is a young girl from Haiti who has
momentarily settled in Montreal. She writes songs and book(s) in
English, French, and Creole for piano, guitar, and voice. (Someday,
Spanish and Italian– someday.) She’s a DJ who lives on and for
dance-floors, but when Sarah sings, you can find soft traces of
traditional Haitian folklore, little girl blues, traces of growing up on
a piano and moving across the continent. They haven’t invented a name
for her genre yet.</p><p>* SPECIAL THANKS to the Montreal Sound Team for hooking us up!</p><h3>♥♥♥♥</h3><p><b><font size="4">Ste. Em's Pervers/cité line-up... </font></b>Ste. Emilie is the official flogger of <a href="http://perverscite.org/" target="_blank">Pervers/cité</a> this year, so we

<h3>QPOCLUCK: Oh queer people of color, where art thou?<br>
Sunday, August 8th – 6-11pm</h3>
<p>Howdy beautiful people!<br>
On Sunday, August 8th you are cordially invited for a righteous
Queer/Trans potluck at the Ste-Émilie Skillshare. The event will start
around 6pm and will end around 11-ish!<br>
Bring a delicious dish to share, and something to drink.<br>
This event is pretty informal, it’s just an excuse to meet other
wonderful queer people of colour, share our experiences and have a good
time.<br>
Please RSVP at <a href="mailto:qpocluck@gmail.com" target="_blank">qpocluck@gmail.com</a>
– let us know what you will bring, and if you have any food allergies.<br>
Looking forward to meeting you!<br>
Note: this event is open to those who self-identify as both queer/trans
and indigenous/”visible minority”/mixed race/people of colour. We
appreciate your understanding.<br>
