This is just a quick shout out to let you know that LAWAAG has three fun and inspiring meetups on the horizon. If you are in Los Angeles and primarily identify as a woman and like books and art or helping homeless veterans -you might be interested in participating in our next three gatherings!
Art and Craft Secular Saturday Gathering
Saturday, October 17, 2015
12:00 PM to 4:00 PM
This meetup is a very relaxed hangout where we will make art and do crafty things like knitting, felting, collaging or coloring while we listen to music and chill together!
LAWAAG Bookclub – Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic Kindle Edition by Alison Bechdel
Saturday, October 24, 2015
2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
From the book’s description:
In this groundbreaking, bestselling graphic memoir, Alison Bechdel charts her fraught relationship with her late father. In her hands, personal history becomes a work of amazing subtlety and power, written with controlled force and enlivened with humor, rich literary allusion, and heartbreaking detail.
Distant and exacting, Bruce Bechdel was an English teacher and director of the town funeral home, which Alison and her family referred to as the “Fun Home.” It was not until college that Alison, who had recently come out as a lesbian, discovered that her father was also gay. A few weeks after this revelation, he was dead, leaving a legacy of mystery for his daughter to resolve.
