Falling in Love with Chris and Greg: Dinner, Screening and Q & A

Join directors Chris Vargas and Greg Youmans of Falling in Love with Chris and Greg for a yummy dinner, in watching the video series, and then in having a lively discussion and Q & A.

The film project mines their actual gay-male relationship, in which one partner is transgender and the other is not, to foster conversations about the diversity of identities and political beliefs within the LGBT community. The series is hilarious, too real, earnest, heartwarming and, again, hilarious.

Chris E. Vargas is a film & video maker whose areas of interest include queer/transgender history, tabloid biography, and radical politics. In 2011, he earned his MFA in Art Practice from the University of California, Berkeley, where he currently teaches digital video production. His solo video work includes Have You Ever Seen a Transsexual Before? (2010) and Libéraceon (2011). With Eric Stanley he is the co-director of the movie Homotopia (2006), as well as its forthcoming feature-length sequel, Criminal Queers (2012).

In other news, some fucking guy slashed a painting on display at the MAH this past First Friday.  Seriously, dude, you suck.  Though, I’d say it sucks more to be the asshole who is capable of destroying a work of art on display than it does to have a piece ruined by said asshole.

Some UCSC art students are giving away free plants today at the MAH downtown.  They’ve got awesome veggies, herbs and flowering seed bombs (Pictured above).  Details here. Go get em!
