Camp Trans

We were thrilled to participate in Camp Trans this year. It was really important to us to be able to be a part of the long history and tradition of Camp Trans: the ongoing protest of the trans-exclusive and transphobic policies of the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. In addition to supporting this protest, we were psyched to see our friends from Running on Empty two Fridays in a row, not to mention to get to play a show outside! (It was a truly unprecedented experience to be sloowly sliding down a mound of dirt on my drumstool.)

Admittedly, I'm not in any way a camping person - in fact, the sight of people running around with lights strapped to their foreheads making their way to the porta-potties almost made me want to hide in the van with the Tom Petty and the Corn Crunch 'Ems. But once we started playing, surrounded by trannies and campfires, I was pretty into it. We had an awesome time playing in the dirt and we're really thrilled to have been a part of it. Thanks to the organizers for continuing to make this important protest happen.
