NY Jewish Culture Examiner: Follow up to an earlier story
an amazing book i need to recommend - Ace of Spades by David Matthews
this is my first posting. hello! my name is sarah, and i'm half black half jewish. my mother is jewish.
A friend of mine recommended a book called 'Ace of Spades' by David Matthews (you can find it here: http://tr.im/iGsu), and I love it so much. I'm half way through it and I can't believe how great this book is. It's so funny and personable. There are moments where I have to put the book down and just burst out laughing. But wow, is it well written! David Matthews is poetic with his words. Truly astounding.
Here's a brief description from The New Yorker:
Really, i can't recommend this book more! I love it! Have you read it?

Here's a brief description from The New Yorker:
The son of a Zionist white mother and a Malcolm X-admiring black father, Matthews, in this memoir, is a boy without a race in a city, Baltimore, that requires him to choose one. The story of racial pinball is not entirely unfamiliar: the black kids reject him as too light-skinned, the whites as too broad-nosed. But Matthews displays improvisational verve—blacks are "burnished" and "browned butter," and whites are anything from "alabaster" to "a puffy marshmallow in Baltimore’s steaming cup of cocoa"—and narrates with the vigor of a movie script. Indeed, it is on television that, as a child, he finds the clarity he yearns for. "I was a living contradiction of elements that shouldn’t have been," he writes at one point, whereas on TV "everything was black, or white, and a lot like life."
Really, i can't recommend this book more! I love it! Have you read it?

NY Jewish Culture Examiner: Kinky Jews 4th Annual Kinky Passover Seder
Bigger, badder, better BENT!! {Toronto, Ontario, Canada}
** Please feel free to forward **
Bigger, badder, better BENT!!
BENT is the little tart of a play party that your parents warned you about. It’s time to freshen up this little tart with a new pair of hose and some bright red lipstick! Yes, there are changes afoot and I wanted to take a minute to tell you about them.
BENT is on Saturday, April 5th, 2008
9:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m.
Tickets are $20.00 per person.
Your admission price includes light snacks and desserts, water and non-alcoholic beverages available all evening, even if you’re not playing!
The party is held at a private venue - location disclosed upon registration.
Please take note!!
The biggest change is that registrations will now be pre-paid.
Please take a moment to read and follow the registration steps at:
http://www.bentplay.com/#reg
The deadline for reservations is noon on the day of the party to ensure that all registrations can be processed in time. Registration after that deadline is at your own risk, as e-transfer processing time is variable. We reserve the right to refuse entry to those not on the registration list, so don’t put it off. Register now!!
What else is new?
For those who’ve never attended this party (or even if you have), you may be interested in seeing photos of the BENT play space, our equipment and even a photo of your host!
Check out the new images page on the web site at: http://bentplay.com/images.htm
The rest of the details!
Remember that volunteers for BENT get in free on the night they help out. If you're willing to help with setup, teardown, door or DM shifts, please contact me at bent.signup@gmail.com Let me know what you can do, and if you have any shift preferences.
The rules for BENT are easy to view, and you’ll find them here:

Did anyone watch "The Jewish Americans" on PBS?
Last three Sundays. Great stuff:
http://www.pbs.org/jewishamericans/jewish_life/index.html
Gave my wonderful (goy) husband and partner in all sorts of nefarious activities, an idea what I meant by explaining myself as culturally Jewish - identifying strongly as a Jew, but not practicing Judaism.
Yes, I know leather content, nil, but you all really don't want to hear about that part of my weekend!
