I?m co-hosting an event this November at the Center for Sex and Culture, with David Fitzgerald and Chris Hall ? the Godless Perverts Story Hour! And we?ve added two more names to the lineup: M. Christian and Loren Rhoads! (Victor Harris, unfortunately, has had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.) Advance tickets are now available, on a sliding scale from $10-$20! No-one will be turned away for lack of funds. And yes, I?ll be there: my health is recovering slowly but surely, and unless I have a very unexpected setback, I expect to be well enough to attend.
The Godless Perverts Story Hour is an evening about how to have good sex without having any gods, goddesses, spirits, or their earthly representatives hanging over your shoulder and telling you that you?re doing it wrong. With fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and performances from Maggie Mayhem, Greta Christina, David Fitzgerald, Chris Hall, Dana Fredsti, Anthony O?Con, M. Christian, Loren Rhoads, and Simon Sheppard, we?ll be bringing you depictions, explorations, and celebrations of godless sexualities, as well as critical, mocking, and blasphemous views of sex and religion. The evening?s entertainment will have a range of voices ? sexy and serious, passionate and funny, and all of the above ? talking about how our sexualities can not only exist, but even thrive, without the supernatural.
We?ve only got one life ? what better way to spend it than an evening of sexy godless fun?
