Lady J to grace Cafe Metropolitan on October 21st for Ingersoll

If the gospel singers looked like Lady J I may have stuck around my church a bit longer.  She apparently has hot vocals to match her appearance.  As for Cafe Metropolitan, I like the location having been to a couple event there.  It has a nice ambiance as one would say.  I thank Ingersoll entirely for this post as I saw it and could not resist temptation by posting it immediately.  Ms T.

On Thursday, October 21 7PM at Cafe Metropolitan on Capital Hill, visionary, avante-garde gospel stylist " Our Lady J" will perform a unique concert to benefit Ingersoll Gender Center's Arts and Lecture series opening in December 2010 with Kate Bornstein. 

We are thrilled to be presenting Our Lady J, vocalist and pianist, to our community for this event.  Based out of New York City, she is a rapidly rising star with a growing reputation.

Here are just a few of the praises being heaped on her:

"Stunning!" - New York Magazine 

"Our Lady J is a monster musician and a great soul.  A great huge heart with a great talent. I must confess: she knocked me out.  I adore her." -- Diamanda Galas

"Our Lady J is the love child of Meat Loaf and Madonna.” - Kate Bornstein

Date and Time: October 21, 2010 7PM
Venue: Cafe Metropolitan, 1701 East Olive Way, Seattle WA
Price: $10.00 advance sales (link below) , $15.00 at the door

Purchase advance tickets at Brown Paper Tickets


Kate Bornstein Ticket Raffle 
This performance is a benefit to jump-start our amazing weekend of events featuring the legendary Kate Bornstein this December 4, 5, and 6.  As if Lady J's musical skills aren't enough, we are sweeteing the pot by raffling tickets to your choice of Kate Bornstein events:  You get your choice of either the Kate Bornstein: Still Dangerous performance (12/5) or Ingersoll's Snowball 2010: Double Diamond holiday party, with special guest Kate Bornstein, (12/4). All Lady J benefit ticket holders get one free raffle ticket.  Additional tickets $1.00

More about Lady J
Our Lady J is known for her visionary gospel styling, powerhouse pianist skills and unforgettable live shows. Along with the Train-To-Kill Gospel Choir, she has been delivering a new testament of post-religious gospel music to sold out crowds at NYC’s Joe’s Pub, The Zipper Factory & Ars Nova Theatre, as well venues all over the world, including London's prestigious South Bank Centre & Soho Theatre, Berlin's Bar Jeder Vernunft, and Ireland’s Electric Picnic Festival.

10-10-10 Perfect 10 Date Auction Funds to benefit LBT Health at YWCA

I would like to invite, encourage and twist your lovely arms behind your backs to have you attend the upcoming second Perfect 10 Date Auction benefiting LBT Health of the YWCA next Sunday (read on).  As many of you know, Ingrid works smartly and tirelessly to fill a gap originally left by the closing of Verbena to bring much needed mammograms, breast exams and pap tests to women in need.  This event will help fund a scarcity of grant money that all non-profits are dealing with.  Please come out and support her efforts and support women in our community that need these services.

The event is an auction where you can bid on 'date' packages and enjoy entertainment presented by the  featured auctionee's.  Let me explain as I know this has been a little confusing to people.  You bid on the items and win them, not the person, sorry :~).

So, for example the lovely Fuschia Foxx, will preform and Fuchsia's date package will be a VIP package to Girl4Girl Seattle and dinner for two at Sur (to be confirmed). You can bid on her 'date' package but you do not get to have a date with her...sorry folks!  She just was darling enough to garner the package and will preform for us too!  Still following me?

A just confirmed item to be bid on is an Atlantis Events Mexico Cruise for two!  Now, that is worth either bidding on or coming to see the excitement of who will win it!

There is a wonderful flyer that is a PDF that I could not place on my site due to compatibility issues.  My apologies.  I am hoping that I can either resolve this or that the flyer will be on one of the other sites and will link you to it then.  Ms T.

Have you ever thought about serving on a non-profit board?

There are so many ways to support the community that we live in.  With the many non-profits that have closed due to lack of financial oversight the past few years I thought I would include this on our list of resources.  I have had several conversations with community members about how powerless we have felt as supposed stewards of important necessary services have been allowed to rip off our community, our pockets and our overall faith in others.  While this training will not replace personal integrity, it is nice to know that it is in place.  Ms T.


Do you want to do more in your community? Ever thought about serving on a non-profit board?

Then think about participating in The Bridge!

The Bridge is a dynamic training program designed to give you the basics in nonprofit and government board service. Step on up!

Why board service?

Impact. There is nothing better than making a difference in a child's life through tutoring, or enhancing your neighborhood by cleaning up a park. But think about the impact you could have if you served on a board that determined how many children received tutoring, or which parks were receiving the most funding? On a board, you give direction, you raise the money and YOU are our community's stewards.

Without boards, our community institutions would fall apart... do you really want to live in a community without them?

The Course
In a series of trainings, you'll learn about roles and responsibilities of nonprofit and public board members in addition to completing personal skill and interest assessments.

The Bridge coursework focuses on:
- financial and legal responsibilities
- governance structures
- fundraising and public budgeting
- personal reflection

Following the training, we connect you with board opportunities. Then again, you might decide that board service isn't for you. But at least you know!

When/where
Fall Registration is NOW open!

Tues 9/14, 9/28, 10/12, 6-9pm OR
