It's LezCab on autostraddle, y'all

Yo, the cabaret I helped out with was covered by autostraddle, along with an awesome interview with hose Maggie Keenan Bolger. There’s a nice awkward video of my soundcheck on the page. Be sure to check out the info for Sunday’s LezCab at the Duplex Piano Bar and Cabaret, which I’ll be featured in again. So, come out (and COME OUT) this Sunday!

Over the past two years firearms have killed 60,000 Americans, more than the number of U.S. soldiers killed in the Vietnam War. Handguns account for 22,000 deaths a year. In 1991, well before the Los Angeles riots, the guns of Los Angeles County alone killed or wounded 8,050 – thirteen times the number of U.S. casualties in the Persian Gulf War, according to a survey by the Los Angeles Times. Handguns terrorize far more people than they kill: Department of Justice statistics show that every twenty-four hours handgun-wielding assailants rape thirty-three women, rob 575 people, and assault another 1,116.

America is currently in the midst of a gun crisis that can no longer be considered just a manifestation of the pioneer spirit; instead, it has become a costly global embarrassment. That a crisis does exist should be well beyond dispute by now, given the bleak statistics on gunshot death and damage – yet these statistics, capable of kindling outrage in a stone, have failed to impress America’s gun industry and the gun culture that supports it.
