What We Want

Along with LGBT people and allies from around the state, several members of the Basic Rights Action Team in Corvallis are featured in this YouTube video.

This is a kickoff to Basic Rights Oregon's new campaign to win marriage equality in Oregon by ballot initiative in 2012 (or possibly 2016).

Joni Laurence - Back on Stage

via jonilaurence.com

Some of you may remember Joni from the house concert she did at our home a few years back. Well, after over a year of hiatus, Joni is back on the stage and here's what she has to say...

"I'm looking forward to climbing back on the horse...or the stage in this case. After a long hiatus from performing, I have booked a show for Sunday, November 1st at the Alberta Street Pub (NE 11th and Alberta, Portland, OR) at 7:00pm (don't be fooled by the papers if they say 8:00pm). Cover charge is $5.00.  Remember...daylight savings time ends on November 1st, so you gain an extra hour that day.

The Alberta Street Pub is a sweet little listening room that features many local and touring acoustic artists. There is a pub menu and a variety of tasty beers.

Despite my lack of performing, I have continued to write a number of new tunes, some of which have been influenced by my job at OHSU and the people I've met and come to know.

I'm looking forward to sharing. Hope you can make it out to the show. Please tell your friends."
