Queer-aoke?

On Friday March 6th starting at 10 PM at the Mix we are setting up karaoke! We hope to make this last all night until 2 AM. We're getting very excited to finally be able to show off our mad skills without singing into a Rock Band microphone. There's no need for your band to save you should things go horribly wrong. This is karaoke, the real thing!

Invite all your friends and family. The more people who come the better. If you already RSVPd on the Facebook group and said MAYBE please change that to ATTENDING because if people see that you are actually coming then perhaps more people will come and we'll rock the Mix right off its foundation. Even if you don't plan to sing, it will still be a mad night of entertainment.

Here's the link to the Facebook event:

Oh and is anyone getting sick of the posts about Rhino in the Room? well, I guess you can just read the previous posts rather than me posting again and again, over and over about the film festival... which is incredibly important...which you should get involved with or make a film for... and is basically the only event of this kind in southern alberta... just sayin! Don't miss out! XD

GALIA always brings stuff to the table!

Just a reminder that we have a movie night coming up THIS sunday! It's in PE264 (across from Tim Horton's in the PE building). We'll be showing Imagine me and you and Latter Days! $2 for members, $4 regular.

Also, how AMAZING was the Valentine's show!? Needless to say GALIA will be bringing this event to the stage for the 4th annual next year, so don't worry if you missed out this time around! If you'd like to see some performances there are pictures and video floating around facebook and some links on the GALIA facebook group. Here's one of those links!

If you have some pictures that you'd like to show add them on the group! (Just leave out the name tags!)

Also, I hope you are all thinking about Film! Start writing, plotting, filming, editing and whatever else you need to do for your films! Rhino is looking forward to seeing all of your lovely submissions! http://www.new.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2253462113&topic=6398#/group.php?gid=60074233922&ref=ts
This is a HUGE event for Lethbridge so get goin'!

Also, we're going to plan some fun stuff for the summer and we have spring for life coming up as well (and don't forget pride!!!! :D ) So if you're interested in these things you'll probably want to be at our upcoming meetings! Monday the 2nd and 16th at 6:30pm! Location TBA!

By the by, we sent in the Tunnel mural proposal and will hopefully be doing that soon as well!

GALIA BOOK CLUB YA'LL!

Queer Book Club:

GALIA is excited to be hosting a Queer Book Club! The book club will focus its attention on written works dealing with sexuality, queer life, transgender and much more. The first meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday March 4. We will be discussing “Self” by Yann Martel (author of “Life of Pi”), a fictional autobiography of an individual whose gender and orientation change multiple times throughout life. Humorous, poignant and affecting, the novel explores the nature of sex and attraction and offers something for readers of all identifications. Copies of the book are available at Chapters and the U of L Bookstore (in limited numbers) for approx. $19.95. The meeting will be held at the University, with a room to be announced at a later date. Please email galia@uleth.ca to be kept abreast of updates and location.
