Here's the prize:
We've been offered 2 tickets courtesy of the amazing Tanya Wright - AKA True Blood's Deputy Kenya Jones - to the world premiere of her film BUTTERFLY RISING based on her novel by the same name in Seattle, Washington as part of the Langston Hughes African American Film Festival this Sunday, May 8th, 2011 at 6PM.
If you or anyone you know is in the area and able to attend this exciting event (it's a great way to spend Mother's Day since the film is centered on the close and abiding relationship that develops between two women at transformative points in their lives) be the first to answer this trivia question:
In Season 1 of True Blood Sookie decides that she's going to call Sam's collie alter ego "Dean". There's a Sam/Dean connection to another haunting TV series currently airing on the CW Network. Name that show in the comments section below to win!
Serving Up A Fresh Take on True Blood from a Uniquely Feminist-With-A-Twist! Perspective
Thirsty for a Fresh Take on All Things True Blood?
WELCOME! Thirsty for a fresh take on all things True Blood? Pull up a virtual barstool at the Pierced Pomegranate Tavern where sisters Rachel and Rebecca are serving up juicy feminist analysis with a twist and opening a vein of thoughtful sociocultural dialogue on HBO's hit series.
Like the epic literary salons of eras past - theaters for conversation and debate which were, incidentally, started and run by women; where the spirited debate about the issues of the day ran as copiously as the actual spirits did - but updated for the digital age, the Pierced Pomegranate Tavern is a fun forum for exploring questions ripe for discourse about the human condition & today's most crucial social issues through the medium of True Blood.
Your salonnières are not peddling liquor per se, but they are offering up new and alternative ideas informed by such diverse influences as pop culture, art, music, cultural history, Goddess studies, transformative theory, literature and poetry, and archaeomythology, filtered through the sieve of their own lived experiences as feminist women of a particular age, background, and culture.
This is a space where you - patrons and passersby alike - can view and engage with these perspectives through the lens of True Blood and contribute your own thoughts. So, no matter if you're a Truebie or a more casual viewer of True Blood, or your drink of choice is a pomegranate martini - one of Rachel's favorite cocktails to drink and Rebecca's to mix - an herbal tea, a frothy double mocha latte, or a can of Fresca (wink, wink) you're invited to join the conversation on the show's complexities in a way that can spark transformation.
Hopefully you'll find something to sink your teeth...err...straw, into! PLEASE ENJOY RESPONSIBLY ;-)
