Emily Pohl-Weary's Top Ten (well...eleven, actually)
Em says: "I couldn't come up with art shows, per se. But after very little thought, I did come up with my fav cultural experiences. Here is my list, in no particular order."

1. Playing Civilizations 3 (and the add-on, Civ3: Conquests) and all the Nancy Drew mystery games (for ages 11 and up, heh).
   
   
2. Sifting through a huge stack of Lisa Smolkin's sad but tough emotional superhero paintings one day in her kitchen.
   
   
3. Reading M@B and touring with him.
   
   
4. Editing Tamara Faith Berger's new novel (The Way of the Whore--a feminist, modern-day retelling of the biblical tale of Mary of Egypt) for Gutter Press.
   
   
5. Being part of Kiss Machine's secret room with Paola Poletto.
   
   
6. Reading my way through the Toronto Public Library's collection of mysteries with intelligent female detectives who aren't cops.
   
   
7. Working on Paula's Mystery Adventure with Sally M and daydreaming about a million other projects.
   
   
8. Shopping at Quimby's bookstore and taking my time perusing the zine section.
   
   
9. Reading graphic novels by Joe Sacco and Phoebe Glockner for the first time.
   
   
10. Indulging my secret passion for bad Hollywood movies and TV: Charlie's Angels, Daredevil, Kill Bill, Alias, Angel, Charmed (I know! Ugh!) and Dead Like Me.
    
    
11. Collaborating with Shary Boyle for my anthology, Girls Who Bite Back.
