The idea for a community home base came long ago from San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, who was assassinated in 1978. That tragedy was the first in a series of crises to rock the city's queer community over the next few decades, and efforts to realize Milk's dream seemed to fail one right after the other -- that is, until now. A spectacular new community center, considered a model for community centers across the U.S., recently held its gala opening ceremonies. This on-scene coverage by This Way Out's BRYAN GOEBEL [with production assistance by PAUL JAFFE] includes comments by San Francisco Supervisor MARK LENO, Mayor WILLIE BROWN, Supervisor TOM AMMIANO, Center Interim Director OREN SLOZBERG, and Center Executive Vice President DANA VAN GORDER, with internal and outro music by the GLIDE MEMORIAL CHURCH CHOIR (intro music from "Home Is Where The Heart Is" by PETER, PAUL & MARY) [6:05] . . 6:20 [www.sfcenter.org] SEGMENT #3 - "Lesbians On TV": an in-performance excerpt from the audio book version of "Don't Get Me Started" by lesbian-feminist humorist KATE CLINTON + her "TWO" I.D. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:55 SEGMENT #4 - Relationships are in bloom in this month's queer words and music from the "AUDIOFILE", but MARK WEIGLE (excerpts from "In The Last 5 Minutes" and "Bears" from his new CD "OUT OF THE LOOP"), MAGDALEN HSU-LI ("As I Am" and "Laramie" from "FIRE"), and ANNE ENGEL (the title cut and "Let It Happen" from "ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES") will each delight you with the variety of songs in their garden [hosted by CHRIS WILSON & JD DOYLE and written & produced with CHRISTOPHER DAVID TRENTHAM] . . . . . . . . 8:05 = artist contact information = MARK WEIGLE MAGDALEN HSU-LI ANNE ENGEL PO Box 7085 Chickpop Records PO Box 1064 Vallejo, CA 94590 705 N. 62nd St. Lakewood, CA 90714 mark@markweigle.com Seattle, WA 98103 anneengel@anneengel.com www.markweigle.com powrbabe@magdalenhsuli.com www.anneengel.com www.magdalenhsuli.com Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:55 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", ROMANCE, ROCK AND RIGHTS FRAME THE WORDS & MUSIC IN THIS MONTH'S "AUDIOFILE", AND SAN FRANCISCO FINALLY CHRISTENS A QUEER COMMUNITY CENTER...
