Guerrila Girls On Tour - Should I Go?

[Nockney]

Basically, they're doing a show near me on Friday. I am trying to get tix. But I am curious to know what the show will be like ... I have, and love, their books, but am not that knowledgeable about art/dance/whatever ...

Ok, I've booked tickets for tomorrow, finally. They are really rubbish, I needed to give details over the phone and then send in a cheque, first-class, now. Can't drop in and pay.

I've ended up saying we'll pay on the door.

Does no MNer know anything about the Guerrila Girls?

Also, just to help, I'm ill, absolutely freezing to death. Think I will try to convince DH to drive tonight, otherwise we will taxi. I don't want to walk anywhere ...

Not that anyone cares, but I went.

It was ok, a bit heavy-handedly political. I do think the posters are their best work, really. But it was nice to go out, and good fun.

La la la la la. I'm just singing to myself in here. La la la la la.

I haven't got a clue who you're talking about but you seemed a bit lonely!

No no, that wasn't me singing!

Apparently nobody on here knows who the GG are. Wierdly, though, the show was totally packed. Ok, only maybe 200 or so people, but still ...

So who are they?

The original Guerrilla Girls are a group of artists protesting sexism in the art world. They wear gorilla heads, and make cool posters. Sample poster .

Guerrilla Girls On Tour is a performing-arts spinoff, basically.

That site is interesting and that poster is good gets the message across very well. I can go to bed now knowing I have learnt something new! Thank you.
