Community,
Often I get emails or tweets about events in the blogosphere or physical spaces. I receive dozen of event notices daily. It's impossible to create a blog for every single one. When I can, I'm going to post notices that are book, art, culture, activism or women related events to this thread. Check often. Please disregard the time stamp of this post instead look at each announcement. I'll try to be consistent with this format:
DATE
STATE
EVENT
