Comedy Central's OUT THERE II While I was in NYC volunteering for the Cultural Festival Of Gay Games, I had the honor of running the sound system for John McGivern's solo autobiographical show MID-WEST SIDE STORY. John McGivern announced at the end of his performances that on Thursday June 23, he would be at CAROLINE'S Comedy Club in Manhattan for the taping of Comedy Central's OUT THERE II. I think he said it will air on National Coming Out Day, October 11, 1994. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-= Signed: Michael Biocco (not2@delphi.com) -=-= -=-= The Host And Manager Of Delphi's Very First Gay Custom Forum. -=-= -=-= "IN FULL VIEW - Custom Forum #22" -=-= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * D-LITE v2.B3 - The offline mail reader for Delphi *
