Hi everybody,
Please feel free to forward this to anyone who's interested!
I will speak very briefly at this experimental Easter service... about the long, strange career of Mary Magdalen. PONY will be there, with $pread. All proceeds from my book sales will be donated to Transmission to help them recover the cost of this event.
We got a nice write-up in Time Out this week -- we are featured alongside the "Kinky" Passover Seder in Prospect Heights. (TONY, Apr 5-11, page 10)
love, Tracy

P.S. HISTORY OF SEX WORKERS AT AVALON
Long before the notorious New York nightclub 'Limelight' was re- christened 'Avalon', the Gothic Revival structure was built as 'Holy Communion Episcopal Church' by William Augustus Muhlenberg, who later instituted a radical ministry to help brothel workers and abandoned mistresses start new lives. Muhlenberg's Feast Day on the Episcopal Calendar of Feasts and Fasts is April 8th, which this year also happens to be Easter Sunday.
