"Whatever Happened to Ennis del Mar?" panel in LA!
« on: October 02, 2009, 02:04:56 pm »
When I inquired about the installation of the Brokeback Mountain Shirts at the Autry National Center Musuem in LA (that I visited this summer), I was told that there would be an associated panel discussion.  It's happenin Sunday, December 13 !   :)  Below is the E-mail I just got from the Autry Center Public Relations Manager.

Anyone want to redline it to LA in December???   ;D

I will post when they get the panelists lined up and let me know who they are.

Hi Pete,

I just got word that the panel discussion will take place December 13 from 2 to 5pm. It’s called Whatever Happened to Ennis del Mar? We do not have the panelists lined up yet but I’ll keep you posted. There will be a total of 4 panel discussions over a 12 month period.

On December 13th, 2009, Whatever Happened to Ennis del Mar? will be the first public LGBT program inspired by the installation of the iconic shirts from  “Brokeback Mountain.”  In this initial symposium, we bring together experts and advocates to explore the provocative question, “Whatever Happened to Ennis del Mar?”  In particular, that query invites commentary from a variety of perspectives about the history of homosexuality and its representation in the American West before, during, and after the era depicted in “Brokeback Mountain.”

Thanks for letting us know.  I would love to come to this, and might.

This event sounds promising. Yay for Pete and Eric and possibly Clarissa! :D

Los Angeles, huh?
I'd love to attend. But there's an ocean and a whole continent between me and LA.

I checked the distance, just for fun. It's almost 10 000 kilometers (almost 6000 miles).

BTW, I love the title "Whatever happened to Ennis Del Mar?" :)

Sounds great, Pete!  It'll be interesting to see who ends up on the panel.  They ought to ask Larry and Diana.
