Wanna Be on Top? — Help with the LAST First Friday of the year
Our next First Friday is coming up soon but we’re already thinking about LAST FRIDAY, our Last First Friday of the school year. Never one to play it safe, CQA is looking to blow it out big with a First Friday that’s bigger than ever. We’re attempting to bring in a fabulous host for the evening (perhaps like the one pictured here) and make it work by mixing drag performances with a fashion show on top of whatever else we think up.
Interested in helping out? We’re looking for models/co-collaborators of all shapes, sizes, sexualities, and genders who can help with planning all the way up until the night of April 30th, 2010. This is sure to be crazy fun, so if the thought flickers through your head that you’re interested then let us know!
All interested parties should email Bryan Reid at bwr2106@columbia.edu with their name, UNI, and a brief paragraph describing why they’re interested in working on this event. Depending on how many responses we get, we will get back to you with the next steps.
Make sure to let us know your desire to be a fabulous model by February 28th!
CQA Elections!
Date: Sunday, March 7th, 2010Time: 2pm

NoH8 Photo Op TODAY & “Big Gay Meetup” Tomorrow
Two great events are coming up today and tomorrow, both of which I learned about via Blake Hayes’ EQUALITY ARMY listserv. If you’re looking to get similar updates it’s pretty easy and not at all invasive–trust me, I get tons of emails a day and this one is short, fun to read, and painless. Copied below are the two events, both which sound pretty sweet and can get you all off-campus:
MONDAY (today!) 2pm-8pm: get your NoH8 tattoo and photograph… join thousands of faces in speaking out against discriminatory laws like Prop 8. (This is the campaign that Cindy and Meghan McCain just posed for!) It’s at the Empire Hotel in NYC on W 63rd. Follow the link to the facebook page: noh8campaign.com
TUESDAY (tomorrow) 6pm-8:30pm: “Big Gay Meetup” — come share your ideas and join members of various grassroots organizations to talk about new ways to push forward with the fight for full LGBT equality. Even if you don’t have ideas to share — it’ll be great to listen, network, and meet people who are active in this movement. PLEASE BRING STRAIGHT FRIENDS!! Allies outside the LGBT community are incredibly important!!! Facebook invite here. LGBT Center, 208 West 13th St. Between 7th/8th Ave. Room 101.
Let us know if you end up going and how it was!
