The BCN Summer Special has gone to the print shop.
It's not very summery, but even so this one will be a little bit special... fingers crossed and all will be revealed in a week's time.
Hopefully as we have gone to a different printers from where we got the last summer special done, it won't be trucking round the country all summer when people should be flicking through a copy at the bar at BiCon! You have no idea how frustrated I was to open a boxful of Jimi Hendrix zines the day before BiCon as the delivery truck pulled out of sight down the road.
The best bit about BCN going to press is that I can then stop, breathe, catch up on emails and even start to worry what to wear to the Ball.

Canada setting a healthy standard
How deliciously awesome is this Canadian CAMH video seeking to draw in bisexual people to talk about their health needs?
All the bi* labels you can hope for, no fighting over them, just cutting to the chase: health services are failing us, the stats say. They are failing us moreso than gay, straight and lesbian service users, we need to assemble data on our lives to build the pressure for health providers to take the time to 'get' us and get over their biphobia and hetero/homo normativity.
If you're reading in Canada and are bi, or any of those mishmash of "fancying more than one gender" labels in the purple arc, please follow through on the plea for input this video. For the rest of us it's just lovely viewing, and hopefully might inspire something over here some day :o)
