- ODD FACTS ABOUT MY ODD LIFE
1. My grandfather is rumored to be related to Emma Goldman, an anarchist who played a pivotal role in the development of a radical political philosophy.
2. Helen Caldicott lived in Newton for awhile where I grew up and I went to high school with her son. Her speeches in Boston inspired my first activist work by joining an anti-nuclear action group at my high school.
3. I've lived in Newton, Provincetown, Salt Lake City, Orem, Santa Cruz, New York City, Brooklyn, Inwood, L.A., and Santa Fe
4. I once had dinner with Liza Minelli.
5. I used to work as a matchmaker at a dating service when I was a student in New York.
6. Since acting in regional theatre, some of the parts I've played are a Nazi in "Cabaret," Uncle Henry and the Emerald City Guard in "Wizard of Oz," a child/man in a dinner theatre murder mystery, a Hollywood agent in "True West," and in high school a black Vietnam Veteran in a play reading competition.
7. I worked on Barney Frank's first political campaign when I was 15.
8. One of my favorite treats are ice cream with cool whip and dry cereal poured on top of it.
9. I didn't learn to drive until I was in my thirties.
10. I used to program one of the country's only weekly gay film series in Santa Fe until recently and still curate events at the Santa Fe Film Center.
11. I have a huge fondness for female folk singers including Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Buffy St. Marie, and Odetta.
12. A play I wrote won an audience award in a theatre festival that took place in a bowling alley in Minneapolis.

Rebecca Jo Dakota said… - Hi Aaron,
I am SO glad to hear from you. I'd love to have the Pie Crust 101 film show next year at the Bioneers film showcase -- perfect place to raise money for Code Pink!
I didn't make it to the NCMR conference but heard Amy Goodman's program yesterday, during which she played most of Bill Moyers' speech. Right on!
And yes, let me know about the queer film festival and how to enter things. Perfect.
Cheers, Rebecca Dakota

Miss Maia said… - Since you are a fan of Joan Baez, I have a factoid you can add to your Odd Facts About Your Odd Life. You can add that a co-worker of yours is related to Joan Baez -- she is my mom's cousin. I think that would make her my 2nd cousin.
