The Virginity Project, i.e. me, Kate Monro, is off to make my very first literary festival appearance at Cheltenham, this evening at 7pm with Suzi Godson, The Times sex columnist. I am highly excited about this. If you're local, come along and listen or join in. I'm also making my final plea for votes for The Cosmopolitan Blog Awards.....both this blog and my other one, Big Guy Small Dog Blog have been shortlisted. Again, after five years worth of blogging, this feels like a major achievement. If you'd like to vote, just click this link, enter your email and vote to your hearts content. This blog is in the sex & relationships category, Big Guy Small Dog Blog in lifestyle.

As if that wern't enough, not one, but five people got up and told their story at last nights performance of 'The Virginity Project' at the Tristan Bates theatre. This is following Saturday night when not one story was told and in fact, not a peep was heard out of the audience for the entire performance. You never can tell how people are going to react. Last night, we hosted the very fabulous 'twespians' - tweeting thespians, of course, what else - who came along, shook things up and generally got involved in the action. If you'd like to stream the performance live as it happens, check it out tonight or tomorrow here - and get involved!
