I'm Going, TOO! (Transform Arizona Conference)

My friend, Lauren, is far better qualified to do fancy video and twitter stuff than I am, but I can still say, if you are anywhere near Arizona and want to make a difference or learn what you can do to unify the LGBT&S communities come to the Transform Arizona Cinference October 16 thru 18, for details you can go to http://transform.transmentors.org/. It is low budget so anyone who can get there can afford to attend.

It has to be low budget, they hired me as a speaker. Lauren, at Pretty Precious People, the new name for her blog about part two of her journey, which can be found at http://lorisrevival.blogspot.com/, has the list of activities and a nice synopsis.

I remember when Michael Broen mentioned the conference to me several months ago and ask me to hink about speaking. As he was outlining his dream, I could not help remembering when I decided to try to bring the 2008 IFGE Conference to Tucson, and my thoughts were, "Sweetheart, you have a HUGE undertaking ahead of you, are you crazy!" Knowing that it is impossible to deter a zealot (being one helps with that understanding) I did not voice my thoughts, and true to zealot form, Michael has given form to his dream. And it is a low budget affair, one just right for the times.

Michael, I salute you for all your hard work and your single minded focus.
