Things are definitely moving forward on my various projects! My documentary, The War on Whores, will premiere at 7:30 PM on Saturday, March 2nd at The Rendezvous on 2nd Avenue in Seattle; after that I’ll be looking for sponsors for screenings all over the country, so if your organization (activist group, school, etc) would like to do that, let me know. I’ve also been talking to Thaddeus Russell about some projects we’re going to do together, and he offered his graphic designer to help me finish the cover of The Essential Maggie McNeill. My inability to complete it myself is the reason it has been delayed for several months, and I’ve been talking to Thad about ways to delegate stuff (like cover design) that I’m bad at, so I can be free to write, speak, interact with people one-on-one, be fabulous, and all the other things that I’m good at. I’ve been working on cutting things that drag me down and annoy me out of my life, which is why I don’t answer cold voice-calls any more; my recording suggests sending a text, so when someone tries to call but doesn’t follow up with text, I know that I just avoided another time-waster. And that gives me more time to do things I like, such as writing and getting presents like these snakeskin leggings from Nattie Roman. And meeting my fans by travelling around the country!

Hot. We’re wondering what you’ll think of the second gift. Idea: new name for your backup when you put it back in reserve: Maggie McNeill Snake Lady.
Ever given thought to coming to Vancouver to screen? We at the BCCEC would like you to consider that.
Oh yes, that’s definitely in the works; my producer is handling it. Vancouver will almost certainly be the second showing, sometime in March.
