Between the Lines and WDET fm want you!

BTL is producing the first locally run marriage expo focused on same-sex couples. May 1 from 3 to 8 p.m. you will be entertained, wined and dined and have a chance to see over 30 vendors targeting same-sex couples! In anticipation of this event we are looking for a gay or lesbian couple who are in the process of planning a commitment ceremony. We would like to document the process through with audio and photos and eventually produce a feature for BTL, WDET and other public media. If you are interested, contact taracavanaugh@pridesource.com AND amanda.le.claire@wayne.edu

Thanks!

The Sunday Munch will be held at Gone Wired Café (2021 East Michigan Avenue, Lansing, MI 48912) at 6pm. No need to RSVP, just show up at your leisure.

Gone Wired is first a coffee/tea shop, but they also have a small menu of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and breakfast foods, as well as various baked goods. Mostly it's all about the drinks. Several members eat before hand, and enjoy dessert and a drink at the munch.

They are vegetarian friendly and often have vegan goodies too! It's casual, put your order in at the counter and pick your meal up for yourself. We will have water, and some cookies at the table for every one to munch on.

We are typically in the side room, just look for the large group of people and ask if we are the internet discussion group, or the munch group.

This election will determine which direction the state will go in the upcoming years.
