AWEX0ME! Congrats! That is awesome. I wish I could go to the reading. That'd be awesome.
Hooray for IBTC getting screened as well! It's kind of funny with But I'm A Cheerleader, since at my college, they did a month of films put on by the Gay Alliance Groupy Thingy, which I forget what it was called. A couple of my best friends were involved, so I was often on hand as a tech support type and also just because, well, best friends. ANYWAY, though, it was funny, because _But I'm A Cheerleader_ was probably the best attended, and as I looked around at my friends, the ones whom I knew to be gay/bi/etc. thought it was HILARIOUS, and the ones whom I knew to be straight just had these looks of confused disdain for it. (I admit, I was in the latter camp -- however, it was very well made, technically. But I just didn't get into it.)
HOWEVER: This is where I saw _Ma Vie En Rose_ for the first time, which is such a gorgeous film. When they were looking for another film, I argued hard for _Harold & Maude_, since it's pretty much a clear metaphor for a gay relationship, not to mention that the screenwriter (and maybe Director? I don't remember, was Hal Ashby gay?) was gay, and.. yeah. It didn't go on, though while waiting for folks to get back with _Ma Vie En Rose_, I did put _Head_ on the projector for a while. Not because of any gay themes, just because it's AWESOME.
