This is Kate Bornstein, my favorite gender activist... I credit her for fueling my activist flame (and keeping it lit):
I brought
Kate Bornstein to MSU for our Pride Week in 2001.
We had
a great time, and she offered to write me a letter of recommendation! Holy
wow!

This is Melissa Ferrick, musical genius... my favorite singer/songwriter. CJ and I "won" her in an auction for the 2001 Michigan Pride Festival for $500... we got to go to lunch with her at the Radisson! OMG! More cool photos to come with this section... ;)

She gave
us her two newest albums and signed them for us!

Notice
anything weird about the picture in the upper right corner?
Apparently
my hair really REALLY wanted Melissa as much as CJ and I did!

The Alliance cosponsored a Melissa Ferrick concert for Pride Week 2001... CJ caught her guitar pick for me and we got it signed with a Pride 2001 flier!
This is me thinking, "Is she really worth all this damn pain?"
This is
the tattoo I got of Melissa Ferrick's autograph on my left shoulder blade.
