Nick Vaughan and Jake Margolin
Game Plan: Town Meeting 1978-2028
Game Plan: Town Meeting 1978-2028 will be a self-published artist/poet document of a
two-day symposium scheduled at Art League Houston in June that explores the legacy of
Town Meeting 1, a seminal 1978 convening of 4,000 queer Houstonians at the Astro Arena
which birthed myriad pivotal queer organizations. Vaughan and Margolin seek to develop a
self-published chatbook composed of work from commissioned poets/reporters, queer Houston
artists, archival documents, and output from symposium participants. The Game Plan will
serve as a handbook, road map, and manifesto for Houston’s queer artist/activist community
for the next three years of organizing and imagination culminating in the Town Meeting’s 2028
50th anniversary.
