- If Kate's not performing at your local/favourite club then we strongly suggest you ask them to book her, start a petition, picket outside the club and show up with swarms of friends chanting her name. You are the audience in these places and you can have what you want if you just ask loud enough - and what you want is definitely Kate! Thanks very much, see you there.

This just makes me despair- it's late tonight, and I want so much to make a difference... but I honestly don't know how.
How can I possibly do any good in this world for girls and women in horrible situations like this?
I want to run out and punch someone in the face on her behalf.
Not a rational impulse, I know- but it's all I can feel at the moment.
"sigh"
