The inaugural ‘Sappho’s Salon: A Night of Provocative Lesbian Diversions” took place June 21 at Women and Children First, 5233 N. Clark. The event included provocative readings by Jolie du Pre (Iridescence) and Bergquist (A Field Guide to Gay and Lesbian Chicago) ; live music by Carrie Lydon and Kate Rickenbacker; and a DJ set by DJ SpinNikki. Sappho’s Salon will take place 7-9 p.m. on the third Saturday of every month, meaning the next one is July 19. Contact Kathie Berquist at Pressgirl@Ameritech.net for more information.
