I am truly honored to have been invited as the Keynote Speaker whenDeafHope presents their 8th Annual Tea Party “Defying Gravity” in Livermore, California. The tea party is a fundraiser to support direct services for abused Deaf women and their children at DeafHope. I will read or tell a story or something (guess I'd better get cracking on that) alongwithMistress of Ceremonies and President of the National Association of the Deaf Bobbie Beth Scogginsand this year’s DeafHope Trailblazer Award Recipient,Marlee Matlin.

TheSeptember 26, 2009event includes delicious food by the Food Divas catering and tea with a free mug made by Hildy Licht and a silent auction.

The tickets are $75.00 per person andaddress and directions will be sent to you after your payment.You may pay via Paypal (link and info on their site, here) or send check payable toDeafHope to following address:
DeafHope
470 27th Street
Oakland, CA 94612

One last thing...on DeafHope's site, they have a banner that rotates various photos of people and their completion of a sentence that begins "When violence against women stops..."
Mine will be: When violence against women stops, I will ride the subway alone after 11:00 PM.

Letters and stories from my jailed deaf dad.

Where will I be next week? DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS! See what I did there? I took the name of a popular regional tune and worked into a promotional email. Yeah, I'm that good.

Anyhoo, let's get to the point: Next week I'll be doing a three-city swing through your glorious state--I figure this may be my last chance to perform in Texas before Rick Perry forces you guys to secede. So if you live in Austin, Houston or Dallas, please come on out to a show. These shows will be ONE NIGHT ONLY! So put down your BBQ and/or margarita and get yourself a ticket (or nine)!
