March Madness is upon us and the road to the Big Dance gets underway with automatic bids from NCAA Division I conference tourneys in progress.  For all of my usual basketball hoopla, check out HoopFeed.com, my site for all women’s basketball news. In just one year, HoopFeed.com has gone above and beyond my expectations, ranking No. 3 on wikio.com’s list of women’s basketball blogs and being a reliable and accurate source of women’s basketball news followed by not just fans but a large number of coaches and players at all levels (not to mention fellow media hounds including the ones who don’t acknowledge the site at all but lurk, I know you do).

Anyway, for a list of all of the tournaments, the March television schedule and continually updated automatic bids, check out this post on HoopFeed.com:

2010 Division I women’s basketball conference tournaments schedule

Enjoy the next month and then get ready for the stateside pro season as the WNBA draft takes place just two days after the end of the Final Four.  I will be at the WNBA studios covering the draft.

Artists and LGBT community organizations converge to increase awareness and celebrate their work near Fair Park in Southern Dallas.

The two-day event is entitled, “We The People: A Celebration of Queer Arts & Culture”, and will take place Saturday, March 6, and Sunday, March 7, at the South Dallas Cultural Center, 3400 S. Fitzhugh, in Dallas.

“Our goal is both to network across artistic disciplines as well as fostering a stronger communal awareness as queer people,” says Q Ragsdale, local filmmaker and co-organizer of the event with DFW Senators. “We hope for it to become an annual event.”

Funds raised through “We The People” will be used the commission new works by the event’s co-sponsor, Fahari Arts Institute, a multi-disciplinary arts organization celebrating black gay expression.

This year’s commissioned work will be “the bull-jean stories: a multi media adaptation”, performed by Q Ragsdale and based on the book, “the bull-jean stories” by Sharon Bridgforth.

Entry donation is $10 for each evening and doors open at 6pm with performances starting at 7pm. Confirmed performances include Dallas blues musician, Sonya Jevette, Houston-based visual artist, Lovie Olivia, and Austin-based performance artist, Cheryl Coward. Interested artists and vendors, please contact Q Ragsdale or JW Richard.
