San Diego, CA - May 16, 2003 - Bisexual singer/songwriter and activist Skott Freedman, Asian pioneer singer/songwriter and poet Magdalen Hsu-Li, local up-and-coming pop/rock star Nicole Kristal and renowned comedian Rob Yaeger will headline the entertainment at this year's North American Conference on Bisexuality. Hailed as one of the largest gatherings of people interested in bisexuality, the conference, which will take place August 21-24, 2003 at the Radisson San Diego Hotel, offers four days of top-line entertainment, provocative keynote speakers, informative workshops and social events for all who attend. Early registration deadlines (lower fees) are June 1 and August 1. For registration or more information visit www.bisexual.org/nacb.



Skott Freedman is an internationally acclaimed 23-year-old bisexual singer/songwriter/pianist and activist touring the country with his groundbreaking music and moving lyrics. BILLBOARD hails Freedman as "one of the more compelling pop singer/tunesmiths we've heard in recent times...a star-in-waiting." Freedman (see www.skottfreedman.com) recently returned from a three-week tour in Australia with a spot at the Gay Games.



Magdalen Hsu-Li, is a pioneer among Asian-American women in music. One of the first bisexual Chinese-American singer- songwriters to emerge in the United States as a star in the acoustic/ pop/alternative genre, Magdalen has
broken new ground as the forerunner of a new wave of Asian musical artists. Most recently, Magdalen (see www.magdalenhsuli.net) was nominated for a GLAMA (Gay and Lesbian American Music Award) for "Best Out Song" for "Monkeygirl."



Nicole Kristal brings rock-n-roll immediacy and pop snappiness to the singer-songwriter tradition through her unpredictable chord progressions, catchy melodies and intelligent lyrics. A skilled rhythm guitarist of 10 years, the San Francisco native (see www.nicolekristal.com) conveys a staggering range of emotion and ability through an organic, acoustic sound developed entirely outside the confines of conventional music theory.



Rob Yaeger is the Earth's only bisexual, genderqueer, trans-affectional, sex radical, frequently kinky, Catholic-raised agnostic-atheist, safer sex educating, sensitive but not too sensitive, biologically-born male stand-up comedian. Fortunately, his comedy gives him the chance to get all this off his chest. Rob has had just enough interviews, articles and essays about his life published to make it impossible for him to ever run for political office.



Friday evening, August 22, is open-mike where a number of rising singers and comedians will perform. If you wish to take part, contact Skott Freedman, Entertainment Coordinator at: info@skottfreedman.com.



Workshop proposals are due June 15. Submit proposals on-line at: www.bisexual.org/nacb/call4papers.asp.

The conference is sponsored by the Bisexual Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to bisexual community building and empowerment, whose goal is to educate the general public about the needs and concerns of bisexual people and to give bisexuals the knowledge and real-life skill needed to live happier, healthier, more fulfilled lives.

Wow, it's weird reading about one of my friends in an unrelated person's posts. I know Magdalen from when I lived in Chico, and try to meet up with her and Dale whenever they wander through these parts. :) If you don't have either of her albums, I highly recommend 'em!
