| Sunday Jan 28, 2001 | Ragtime music is more than rinky-tink
whorehouse piano music; it was a delightful syncopated American hybrid of African

In short, its rich history deserves to be explored
in depth.

religion can heal homosexuality.

and that it just doesn't work.
Read the stories of many who found freedom by turning away from
"conversion" and accepting themselves as they are.

| Tuesday Jan 23, 2001 | Urban spelunking may sound like fun, but don't suggest it to filmmaker Marc Singer (no, not that one). He spent two years living in the darkness amidst squalor and rats to complete "Dark Days". The film, which won the 2000 Sundance Film Festival Freedom of Expression Award, documents the the hidden culture of the community of homeless people that lived in the abandoned train tunnels under Riverside Park on Manhattan's West Side until they were forcibly evicted in 1997 by Amtrak workers putting the line back into service. to Outdoors by rich |

if Bush
won. Unlike your

| Dotcommunists, having purchased all the
obvious gadgets, are now acquiring GPS units
despite not needing to find the
coordinates of their desk more than once
or twice a month. Take that GPS unit outside

perhaps score some photographs of an integer lattitude/longitude intersection.
Geeks of the world, stand up -
you have nothing to lose but your flab.

is a new comic by Devin Grayson.
It's about a girl who realizes the line between fantasy and reality is quite thin. As Grayson puts
it: "As ... two worlds collide, the story winds through issues of gender identity, post-modern
isolation, spiritual malady and the abiding human desire for belonging and connection." to Comics by laurel |
