Girls Rock Camp Austin is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering girls and young women of all backgrounds and abilities through musical education and performance. 2007's inaugural camp served 26 girls, and among the notable artists who worked with the girls include Sara Hickman, Dixie Chicks songwriter Susan Gibson, Rosie Flores, and Go-Go's bassist Kathy Valentine.

Prior to the screening, bands formed from and inspired by Girls Rock Camp Austin will perform. Recent Austin Music Award Hall of fame inductee Rosie Flores will emcee the event. Perennial favorites Code Rainbow! will perform, and anticipated to play are Jenny Wolfe and the Pack.

So I visited my mom today in the boonies.  And she gave me the usual threat of making me quit my art school education to come home to a state college if I got anything pierced or tatooed.  
And I wonder why does it matter?  It's no different than my purple hair.  It doesn't (barring an infection) affect my health, my grades, or my behavior.  Being an art student, it doesn't even affect how my teachers or fellow students think of me.  I'd be just another kid with their septum pierced.
