Unfortunately, the SWAS is taking a year off from doing the full tour, and we're doing only a brief east coast tour this year. I will definitely keep your information, and we can stay in touch and work something out for next year. Thanks for your kind words about the show, it's really good to know that it has positive impact and that people feel inspired to try to bring it to their towns. I really relate about trying to do something sex-positive in a small-minded town. The show started 12 years ago in Olympia Washington, which is relatively liberal but still had a very negative view of sex workers. And we travel to places like Alabama, Oklahoma, and Virginia, where there is constant pressure from the media to justify one's right to exist as a sex worker. You have to be a constant ambassador for an entire industry, and it's exhausting. Lots of respect to you guys for doing what you're doing in a conservative place, it's where that kind of work is needed most. Stay in touch, and let's put together a show next year.

I went to see it two different years when i was still living in Olympia. I don't know about anyone else, but I look forward to seeing people i know turn beat red when naked women crawl over them in Clinton and Nixon masks as part of performance. Did that sound dirty? Oh I'm sorry. If it did, then Spokane is not ready for SWAS.. but i certainly hope we are! Oh the Sex Workers Art Show!

I hope we get it here. I think that this would be an amazing opportunity, and a safe way (for some) to test boundaries. I hope we get it here.
