laura_seabrookWell, it's Friday now (last posted on Tuesday) and I've have a lot of fun and overall a good experience at QC.
In my previous post it all looked pretty tense and it was for a while. I was glad that I left when I did. However, after I left, another attendee did have a PANIC ATTACK and had to be carried out. I felt sorry that this had happened to her, but it confirmed that I'd done the right thing.
Later that night I went to something called "The Warehouse" in Chippendale for the Querelle launch and that was really good. They had amale belly dancers and they really knew their stuff. There was some spruiking and poetry reading, and I finally go up and announced Querelle and read a poem of my own from it.
I've had really good feedback about Querelle from people. It's not as flashy as previous years (and not as tacky as last year's) but it seems I "done right". *GRIN*
Wednesday I ended up taking one of the speakers to the Gender Centre in Petersham and that was good fun - he had no idea it existed. Later on I ended up travelling all over the place (see another posting about that) but it all ended up OK.
Thursday I gave a talk about my travel to Palenville and back earlier this year. I had about 20 attendees, and I also showed my trans tarot deck as a "backup" slide. There was another workshop about labels and exclusion - the organiser didn't show so I was roped in to chair it. Interesting but rewarding experience. Had a lot of good feedback about that too.
Didn't go out to anything Thursday night. I met someone who was a "traditional pagan" and was going to show her the presentation of my talk but she didn't show later. In any case, I feel tired and want to saty in tonight.
