Hi Kara

I recently attended a book event in NYC for the re-issue of Steve Blush's 'American Hardcore'. One of the panelists was Laura Albert, the author behind the JT LeRoy hoax
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JT_LeRoy

She went on at some length about her experiences as a druggie then sXe kid in the east coast scene, including some lively back'n;forth with some of the others about sexism in the sXe scene.

I video'd - but the bad news is I seem to have mislaid the tape. I do have audio which I can make available if you are interested. I'm sure she would be a great interview.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a dissertation on the gender politics of punk rock and I was hoping that some list members who were involved in punk rock scenes from the 70s-90s would be willing to be interviewed for my project. I'm looking specifically for people who were involved in NYC in the 70s, LA or San Francisco in the late 70s or early 80s, eastcoast sXer's from the 1980s, or any pre1995 riot grrrls, but anyone who feels like they have something to say about the topic would be appreciated! 

If you're interested please email me at geeblegee AT yahoo.com.

Thanks!
