DEB on the rocks

April 12th, 2010

I am beyond pleased to announce the 2nd annual

Queerosphere at BlogHer ‘10 Party

presented by Queerosphere and BlogHer

Queerosphere at BlogHer ‘10 Thurday, August 05, 2010 from 9:00 PM (ET) Hilton New York 1335 Avenue of the Americas New York 10019

Join us in celebrating the vanguard work of the LGBTQ blogosphere at the Queerosphere welcome party, held in honor of the 100th anniversary of one of the most significant events in lesbian literature and in the history of the arts: Alice B. Toklas moving into the Parisian apartment of Gertrude Stein in 1910.

100 years later, LGBTQ creatives exchange ideas through writing and visual arts online in the digital salon of the blogosphere. We are certain that if Gertrude & Alice were to stumble upon contemporary blogging, Gertrude would be intrigued and proud, and Alice would offer baked goods, stiff drinks and encouragement. They both would think your every link was gorgeous and defiant, your very existence provocative and a call to celebrate.

Queer bloggers and their allies are invited to gather in a special salon at the Hilton to connect and celebrate on the eve of the conference. We hope this will help lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer attendees find family and supporters, making the entire conference a more powerful and enriching experience. Your creative work creates rooms of dialogue across the web everyday, advancing ideas, saving lives, changing the world, making everything more wonderful. In celebration, a little food, champagne cocktails, French coffee, brilliant voices … bienvenue à notre salon, mes amours.

Attendance is limited. Here’s how to RSVP:
