Hi. This is Jan Brown and I'm a new member. I wanted to let you know about an awesome transgender event, Fantasia Fair, coming up October 17-24, 2010 in Provincetown, Massachusetts (on the very tip of Cape Cod). The Fair is the longest running TG conference. I am the programming chair and we have a fantastic group of presenters and events. We use the entire town to host a conference.. many different venues and not just in a hotel silo. I invite you to check out our web site and maybe you'd like to join us. I've also added a fun piece we published earlier this year about attending the Fair. Hope to see you. Huggs, Jan
