 I really enjoyed going to Villanova to see Kate Bornstein perform last week.  I even got her to sign my copy of Gender Outlaw!  Like her writing, Kate's performance was very dynamic and entertaining.  It was great to see her incorporate a number of different personalities in her overall performance.  Furthermore, as a spectator I truly enjoyed the multimedia aspect of her piece.  However, towards the end I got a bit uncomfortable with the video/photo montage she had created using images of her family members.  Moreover, I was a bit startled by Kate's focus on Scientology.  I wasn't expecting the topic of religion to be included in her performance. Nonetheless, I feel honored that Kate decided to share such a personal part of her life with us.  Along with her talk about religion I was very touched by Kate's love for her daughter.  The story she shared with us is a complicated and unfortunate one that will be hard to forget.  Anyhow, I look forward to reading the memoirs that Kate Bornstein will publish in the near future!
