Wonderful Sunday afternoon conversation with Susan Stryker and McKenzie Wark. Such intelligent, thoughtful questions from the audience about queer & trans pasts and futures. The sun broke through the clouds a bit, too. Lovely.

We had so much fun last night. A bookstore packed to the gills with people who love the author! A moderator who asks Real Questions and knows everything about wine and elegance! An author who wrote an engrossing, tender, funny novel that is an instant favorite! What a blessed night at the bookstore!
