CDW & Berkeley
Apparently this is the season of concerts for me, as I was able to see Charlotte Day Wilson for the first time in May in San Francisco. Her show was everything I wanted it to be - vibey, moody, and so sexy. Her music was a huge support in discovering my own queer identity. Coming into my queerness showed me just how important it is to see our identities reflected in life - music, movies, television, stories, etc. These days I find it hard to watch purely cis-het media. Listening to CDW sing about love and relationships with women connected to something deep within me.
To celebrate the last day of school at the end of May I went to Berkeley to visit my favorite fabric shop and book store. I asked one of the employees at the fabric store about local queer/lesbian bars, and they suggested Friends and Family. I found my way there and loved everything about it. From there I went to the Greek to see Tedeschi Trucks Band.
