Okay y'all, here's the quick-and-dirty:

When?

Memorial Day weekend, May 23-26, 2008

Where?

Various Atlanta locations: Lenny's bar, Mary's in East Atlanta, Tilt Gallery in Castleberry, Eyedrum Gallery near Grant Park, Cabbagetown Park, Ria's Bluebird and more 

Why?

To give progressive queers a place to meet and see great music & art; to promote the New South in the national queer scene; to build radical queer community in the South; to flirt with a bunch of hotties!; to learn about the various radical politics going on in our communities; to have fun dammit; to celebrate our culture; to cross cultural boundaries... and much more!

How much?

5-day VIP Passes are only $50, and available only through this website (go here) or at Criminal Records in Atlanta's Little 5 Points. Individual events are priced $8-$15 depending on how exciting they are!

Is everyone at MondoHomo queer?

Most of the volunteers and performer and staff of MondoHomo do identify as queer, but some identify as bisexual, trans or straight allies. And we love it that way!

What do you mean by "Alterna-queer"?

We include almost anyone and any queer culture that isn't mainstream gay/lesbian. However we specifically veer towards progressive and radical politics, punk, hiphop and fringe or edgy art. We don't consider folk music (per se) or straight-up rock n' roll particularly "alternative."

Is MondoHomo Dirty South a non-profit?

No, it's a not-for-profit. Which means that we aren't an incorporated non-profit, and haven't filed the necessary forms with the IRS and government to register for tax-exempt status – which costs at least $500.

However we are committed to not-for-profit status, which means that no one makes any money off of MondoHomo. All our staff is volunteer, except for professional sound techs, the web master, and some catering staff. All of the money raised by MondoHomo is put towards future MondoHomos, travel stipends for performers, and promotional costs, like printing flyers.

Eventually we hope to raise enough money to give grants to local health/queer-oriented non-profits, but that is probably a few years down the line. We welcome any advice or encouragement in this area! We'd especially like to get a Fiscal Sponsor for MondoHomo 2009.
