Amy: Lilith Fair is fast approaching and Jessica tells us sales are down. Does that mean something about female musicians?

KL: It means everyone is broke.

Julia: I dunno, the tickets are really cheap.

Jessica: There are tons of other music festivals that seem to be doing well.

Amy: Yeah, in Chicago, Pitchfork is happening the same weekend. That will sell out for sure.

KL: I think it's at the same time as michigan?

Jessica: Years ago when I went to Lillith Fair it was an important part of my development as a radical feminist lesbian

Julia: I went every single year, all three years it ran.

Amy: Same. So will you go this year?

Jessica: But personally, I don't need those female identified spaces in the same way anymore.

KL: I do. I hate men. It's at the same time as Michigan, so no way.

Julia: No, it's right before my vacay week so I'm not planning on going this time. I might change my mind depending on how broke my ass is.

Amy: I feel like I want to support it. Plus, the musicians are surprisingly good! Mary J, Kelly Clarkson, Gossip, La Roux…

KL: Mary J Blige? I'm dying.

Mary J Blige, giving Lilith a few cool points

Jessica: Maybe they need a better marketing campaign. Less hippie more hipster

Jessica: Feminism needs a make-over.

Julia: Less hippie, more queer would be nice, too.

Jessica: yes Julia!

Julia: Or less lezzie, more queer.

Jessica: I like queer as a category for musical gathering and not just vaginas

Amy: Me too, but a lot of people still need a vagina fest.

Jessica: Unless there is actually a Vagina onstage singing... that would be cool.

Amy: Just because we might not, it's just as important for some women as it once was for us.

Jessica: is it?

Amy: I think so; we live in an evolved bubble.

KL: meaning what? that we're evolved so we don’t need women-only spaces anymore? I just like being able to romp around naked and not dealing with nasty guys and their commentary. p.s. I just bragged about getting catcalled.

Jessica: Wait, folks get naked at Lillith?

Julia: Nobody gets naked at Lilith.

I spy two men and they're shouting, "Play Free Bird!"

Jessica: I'm not equating Lillith with a woman only space, I'm saying as a category for marketing music...

Amy: I think it's a venue for female-identified musicians to get spotlight that they might not
