Late July 1996. New York City.

It all began on a sweltering night at a roof party in the East Village for Sarah Schulman’s birthday. Word came down that the West Village dykes were challenging us East Village dykes to a basketball match, the next morning. We didn’t know who they were, but we were damn sure going to represent for the Loisaida, even with vicious hangovers. Here we are before the first game.
