A Chorus of Crayons
The Sparkle Kids Action Network presents the Chorus of Crayons Tour 2006, a four-week journey throughout the Northeast, Midwest and Canada by this troupe of independent thinkers, songwriters, artists and activists – in a converted 1987 veggie-diesel Mercedes.
Jacinta Bunnell, Michael Truckpile, Julie Novak and Dave End deal creatively with the themes of gender, politics, queer issues, and work and play.
The group makes quite a scene. Don't miss them when they come to DC for a night of gender-defying coloring book-making workshops, homespun entertainment from three solo acoustic troubadours, and fun and prizes.
When: Wednesday, July 12: DIY bookmaking at 7 p.m.; music at 8 p.m. Where: Brian MacKenzie Infoshop (1426 Ninth St. NW) More Info: www.girlsnotchicks.com/skan
