Also on Sunday, October 5, Sonic Circuits presents transgender performance artist and musician Baby Dee (former harpest for Antony & The Johnsons) - along with Burbuja (Spain) and alto flute/electronics duo rarescale (UK) - at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, 3:00 p.m. ($10 at the door)
It would be great if the links for Mirror Script or anything else were not Facebook pages. I don't have an account and can't get the info. And, no, I do not want an account on Facebook.
