Looking for money...
All week long...
This week I'm learning new words like "underwriting" and "mini-grant" because of the John Waters program we're hosting... DID YOU HEAR THE ONE ABOUT THE BIGOT? It's a day of roundtable discussions on HATE and HUMOR, and in the evening we'll be having a TASTELESS EVENING with Mr. waters and he'll be doing a lecture on Shock Value.
And I get to chat him up all the way to the airport! A Baltimore girl's dream!
I think this will be an amazing event, something I'll be proud to have worked on... but it TOTALLY SUCKS to be begging people for money, scrounging around the community trying to raise ten grand. Ick.
I'm not good at begging. It's a humbling experience.
So if you happen to be Donald Trump, reading my site, please send ten grand to me at Hillel, 122 E. Market St. Iowa City, IA 52245. Tax Deductible! And make a note that it's for the BIGOT program, or it might get re-routed to some other (equally worthy but less interesting) program.
In other news... it's fucking COLD. The high today is negative one, which is not high at all. My car didn't start, and then when Chris came home to give me a lift, the passenger door on his car was frozen. Double ick.
But on the good side of things... I went to a GREAT fiction reading last night. Daniel Alarcon and Li yun Li read at Prairie Lights and it wasn't even a little bit boring.
Still planning to move to Chapel Hill!
