The following article was written by Lee Langerfeld, a Buffalo writer for a rag called, "The Beast."

The poets he is referring to are myself and fellow Evolutionary Girls Club member (not "Revolutionary Girls" as stated by the author) Joy Messinger.  We spoke about:

• racism(the prison industrial complex, "bad" neighborhoods, and the rape myth)

• sexism (sexual violence and the hypersexualization of women, which is interesting because of the author's comments about Alyssa Milano)

• homophobia and heterosexism

• american imperialism and the military industrial complex

• Steve and his specific situation

Apparently, in all of his deep critical thinking, Lee got stuck on the fact that Joy and i are both - ut oh - *shhh* gay.  His critique of the show would be welcome, if he had something serious to say, if he had done something more than take cheap heterosexist, sexist shots at artists who, good or bad, are at least trying to contribute to the eradication of american "isms" that plague our country like cancer, like HIV, like Hep C.  Artists who give a shit. 

His article is below. Check it out. I didn't include the whole thing. Only the parts about the "Revolutionary Girls."  

The Allentown Terrorist

By Lee Langenfeld

The cause: raise cash for the legal defense of Steven Kurtz and members of the Critical Art Ensemble.

 The fundraiser had a $6 suggested donation, and was organized by the Revolutionary Girls. It started out slow; not much happening at all. After the entertainmenta balding middle-aged guy workin' a groove-box, and a couple of dueling poets saying "fuck the man, I'm gay" for an hour and fifteen goddamn minutes. More beer was the answer if I was gonna get anywhere with this bunch of jacked up blab-bola. So I continued drinking, and the poets kept on yappin. They hit some  controversial topics on the head, But I'm not one for having shit barked in my face for over an hour straight unless you're George Carlin, or Chris Rock, or even better Alyssa Milano.

They did have a few local art exibits on display. After the lecture and few more drinks, some interesting work gained the attention of my friend, so he jotted down some info. Soon after, a founding member of the CAE approached us, asking why we were so interested that we felt the need to take notes. I tell her that we have been following this incident and... "Are you with the FBI, are you police?" she asks, then stupidly follows that up with "there are a lot of  immigrants here." Now why the hell would we care if someone has their green card? There was something absolutely nuts with these artists. Many of them were rattled to the core and totally petrified of "The Man." In the long run this event probably only produced a couple of hundred bucks at most. It was small lever in hyping up the morning protest at best.

The protest was typical bullshit. 9:00am on a Tuesday morning in front of City Hall. 75 bums with a belief walk around in a bent circle over and over while holding up crude signs for local media. The pigs get an extended brunch-break, sit on their fat asses, drink coffee and dream of lunch. For a group of artists in hot water you'd think they would've been just a little creative, but "Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, this investigation's got to go," was all they had. There were no stunts at all. And 9:00am! What kind of idiots expects liberals and artists to show up anywhere at 9am? If this thing had started at two or so, the turnout would have at least tripled.
