Michelle Tea says: People! I, Michelle Tea, will be interviewed by the accomplished and fashionable poet, writer and arts advocate Jewelle Gomez, on Tuesday, July 18th, at the Commonwealth Club. If you were looking for a sort of fancy event where you slurp wine and nibble cheese while wearing your cutest shoes, this is maybe it. It’s $18.00 unless you’re a member of the Commonwealth Club, which is a cultural and public affairs forum.In which case it would set you back 12 clams. Like I said, there’s wine. And also cheese. And brainy Jewelle Gomez and myself engaged in scintillating conversation. The Commonwealth Club is located at 595 Market Street, on the second floor. The wine flows at 5:30, the gabbing starts at 6:00pm. Thanks for listening.

note from the other Michelle: I have this pair of red patent leather stiletto slingbacks I’ve been dying to wear. Maybe this is my chance! Plus, if you didn’t read Michelle Tea’s taxidermy essay in The Believer two issues ago, you must. It’s unsettling and divine.
