Hustle for Health Care

A little unemployment is looming ahead while I try to break my way into set life, so the time had come for me to once again take up the mantle of the Giant Disco Party. When I put this project down I had been trying to think of the right cause for my party to benefit. Today I was laboriously updating my wrap files when a Twitter update from Barack Obama flashed onto my screen. "In August, the health insurance reform debate comes home. This is the moment our movement was built for."

"BOOM!" went the lightning in my brain.

So this fall, Kyle the Girl will present to you:

The Local 0 Hustle for Health Care (Working Title).

Now I need to find a worthy universal health care advocacy group that can help make my voice heard, not to mention the rest of the nonunion film industry workers (Local 0), not to mention the millions of other Americans without health coverage. I believe everyone has a right to health care, and I'm appalled that America doesn't lead the way in that particular enterprise.

So. Anyone know any liquor marketing reps? A good DJ who might donate a few hours? Someone with an amazing raw space downtown? A few cool people to invite?

Thinking about it further, I'd love to make it a little carnivally. I know a lot of circus-freak type people who could really make a cool vibe... Or maybe I should just stick with the disco thing.
