It appears that The Catalyst has cancelled the Capleton show scheduled for tonight; we haven¹t heard directly from them, but Sal Mendolia called Charlie Singer who told me, and then Charlie and I both called The Catalyst, and they confirmed that the show has been cancelled. the protest over Capleton¹s appearance is also cancelled; with the show being called off at the last minute, there will be disappointed ticket holders, and we¹d rather not have a confrontation between them and us, so go enjoy the fireworks.

Thank you so very much to everyone who helped make this happen; please call Gary Tighe¹s office at 464-1212 and The Catalyst at 423-1338 and thank them, too.

Together, we made this happen, and we had a lot of support from allies here and from queer communities across the bay area.

It¹s heartening to see that it¹s becoming harder for performers who advocate violence to get venues. Matbe someday these performers will agree to repudiate their statements, and we can stop this, but, until then....

FYI ­ Capleton¹s show in Sacramento scheduled for last night was cancelled yesterday afternoon because the community center there educated the club¹s owner.

Thank you, thank you, thank you
