Entering The Red Tent
September 20, 2011
Apparently I’m lame. Thanks to fellow blogger Najeema, of Hell In A Handbag (note: her website is down thanks to hackers ugh!), I’ve been hipped to something I was actually curious about from earlier in the year. Last night, Najeema posted info on Facebook about an upcoming event called The Red Tent Symposium. I asked […]
