Lambda Finalists Read Across The U.S.

In celebration of the 2008 Lambda Awards, which take place in West Hollywood on Thursday, May 29, there will be a series of readings featuring some of this year's nominated finalists between now and the end of May.

There's something for everyone in cities across the U.S. (I'll be doing the West Hollywood reading on May 8 at A Different Light). And if you're interested in going to the ceremony in WeHo, click here for ticket details... we all would appreciate the support.
