Panel discussion in Morrison Hall 007 on the IU-Bloomington campus. Participants will be IU professors Michael Reece (Director, Center for Sexual Health Promotion), Bryant Paul (Department of Telecommunications), and Brian Dodge (Associate Director, Center for Sexual Health Promotion).

Exhibit by artist Robb Stone at the Kinsey Institute, Morrison Hall, on the IU-Bloomington campus: a collection of photo and text-based collage that explore the erotic world of online social networking. All artworks were made specifically for this show and include actual images from websites such as Manhunt and Craigslist, where gay men can post profiles and look for potential partners. Stone describes his experience of sex in the age of the Internet, raising questions about self-objectification, wish-fulfillment, and the implications for love.

At the Bloomington Bagel Company on (113 N. Dunn Street).

First Fridays is a social get together in a safe atmosphere where you can meet or continue with new friends in the GLBT and Ally network. Bloomington Bagel Company on Dunn Street is proud to provide free snacks and refreshments to those in attendance. Once again, Co-Host/sponsorships are available throughout the year, so if you or your group would like to get more involved in this wonderful program, please get in touch with me (Ryne Shadday) whenever is convenient for you.

At Theatre on the Square,627 Massachusetts Ave., downtown Indianapolis.

One rainy night at the laundromat an affable grad student, Andrew, encounters a gorgeous hunk, Jack, who freely admits he is the son of Satan. In spite of warnings from Andrew's self-absorbed ex, his would be lifetime companion and his wise-cracking best gal pal, he enters into the "relationship from hell." Suffice it to say, the hilarious consequences of dallying with the devil at the expense of true love and friendships speaks volumes about contemporary relationships!
