Extra Excellent RADAR

The following is reposted from Tightrope:

As Michelle Tea notified us in her official email announcing this month's RADAR reading at the SF Public Library, it was definitely "extra excellent." I wrote a little snippet about Dorothy Allison's performance, but every performer really deserves some applause. Michelle Tea closed the evening by saying that it was the only RADAR reading to ever receive a standing ovation, which was certainly well-deserved. The featured readers/performers at last night's event, Imani Henry, Nalo Hopkinson, Kate Bornstein, and Dorothy Allison all gave engaving performances.

Since I was not one of those people in the audience with a gigantic digital camera snapping photos during the event, I had to do a bit of research to locate a flickr photo-set of the event. It only took a few seconds to locate these photos by a flickr user called allaboutgeorge. They not only document the readers, but also Michelle Tea on her mad dashes about the room to provide delectable cookies to those audience members bold enough to ask questions during the Q&A session.
