FRIDAY NIGHT
SHOW US YOUR SHORTS
Lesbian Concert and Short Film Screening

Wow, now this was like a reunion from 2002! Girl Bar screened a few segments from my short, GAY PROPAGANDA, along with other hysterical pieces, SALT THE BLADE by Anne Lippert and "My Name is llene" by Kary Dornetto.
Here are the filmmakers and stars of the night's shorts.


The opening act was TITS AND GIGGLES, and they delivered plenty of both. These girls were unbelievably entertaining and had the places bursting out in laughter.


They offer fabulous accoustic harmony set to hysterically bawdy and clever lyrics. My favorite number was "I dumped you on myspace and replaced you in my top 8 with a band."

While introducing my film, I was confused and thought I was at karaoke, so I started to sing AND I AM TELLING YOU.


Comedian Poppy Champlin provided the comic relief and hosted the evening.
