Femme2010: No Restrictions is a multi-threaded conference and forum for those who think about, talk about, and create Femme as a queer gender and identity.

DJs Kool Karlo and Waitin' Clayton are super psyched to present the aerobic, convivial, speaker-blowing blur that inevitably will be the SUPER FUN DANCE PARTY!

I know, I know. 111 Minna Gallery is letting us throw such an apeshit crazy party that we couldn't even think of anything better to name it. Write SFDP on your hand so in the morning you can remember where you were the night before, who is sleeping next to you, and where you left your phone. It's gonna be EPIC!
