So the access tv show didn't work out as I had hoped. Due to technical difficulties, the person running the show could not play the clip on air. Most of the talk time ended up being taken up by trans 101 type stuff.
I did end up updating the website though. Most of things you might not notice. But I have changed the archives section to education tools and I will be uploading different kinds of material to be used for education in community-type spaces or public school classrooms or academic research. That will all be available free to download for anyone who wants it, and as always users are welcome to send me any content they would like to be available on that page as well.
Lastly, I have added a paypal secure donate button on most of the pages with rotating content. I am wanting to make all the material accessible to people of all income levels, but I also am paying for the webspace and bandwidth to run the project out of my own pocket. Pleas consider donating a few bucks if you can.

New content!
Hey all,
I have finally uploaded the second interview clip form bet power, entitle legacy. It's better than the first, so I urge you to check it out.
Also, I am going on the Gay Liberation Network's Chicago Public access TV show on Friday. I composed a clip from the project to show on air, and that can be viewed on youtube if you look on the channel TransOralHistory. There is also a link on the webpage under short docs.

Progress Since May
I have not updated this blog in months but I have been making progress, so here is a quick rundown…
MAY
I wrote into the Translating Identities Conference telling them about my project and asking if I could do an instillation of the exhibit during the conference at the end of October. They responded very positively and encouraged me to apply to host a session.
JUNE
I got a call from Brattleboro, Vermont asking if I could make a video clip to show at gallery walk, a monthly festival where art galleries stay open late and host various events. The Hooker Dunham Theatre was showing a queer rights film in honor of stonewall and wanted to use show a clip in the Gallery space. I create a small clip and sent in a flyer with info about me and the project on it.
I edited a clip from Bet Power’s interview and uploaded it to the website. It was the official first short doc clip.
JULY
I also moved to Chicago where I got in contact with people from GednerWorks and the Gay Liberation network. A cross-dresser who works with GLN agreed to be interviewed and expressed interest in conducting some oral history interviews.
The GLN invited me to be interviewed on their Public Access TV show. I am still waiting to confirm the interview but I will post about it if I end up doing it.
I finally filled out a bio and session form for the Translating Identities Conference and am e-mailing the transcending boundaries conference.
I am off to the Allied Media Conference as I type this. The conference kicks off with a session about transgender representation in independent media. Armed with flyers, business cards, and enthusiasm, I’m ready to meet potential allies.
