FRIDAY, JANUARY 20 - PLANNING MEETING FOR SOUTHEASTERN RADICAL QUEER 
AND TRANS CONVERGENCE @ IBOOKS, 5pm

Come to Ibooks this Friday for a conversation about organizing a 
southeastern radical queer and trans convergence, roughly envisioned to 
happen somewhere in the Triangle some time in mid/late May. A tentative 
goal is to have some basic details - a town, a weekend, and a potential 
venue(s) - before the National Conference on Organized Resistance (NCOR) 
in DC Feb. 3-5, so that we can publicize it among southeastern queers 
and transfolks there.
