Native Washingtonian Indra "Indy' Allen performed as a songwriter, guitarist and singer in her own right. In 1973 she released one of the earliest feminist record albums, Loner, produced by Cell 16. In the early Spring of 1974, about the time that the Olivia music collective organized in Washington, DC, Indra Allen began publishing a newsletter, Musica, chronicling the performers, venues, and issues of women's music. Though the publication began in Washington, DC and gave news of women's music developments in that area, its scope was truly national. Musica appears to have begun shortly before the Women's Soul Collective's publication "Paid My Dues." A decade after "Musica's" start, Toni Armstrong Jr. created the next indispensable guide to women's music, "Hot Wire." "Musica" is an important resource for students, researchers, and members of the general public interested in the early days of US women's music. "Musica" is also important to LGBTQ research for its coverage of lesbian artists nationwide.
Allen, Indra

37 L St. SE - The Cinema Follies opened in 1975 in a former auto repair building as a cinema showing X-rated gay films. The club was managed by Bill Oates, Jr and owners included Roy Barnard and Henry Jaffe. A disastrous fire on October 24, 1977 trapped patrons in the second floor theatre. Nine men died in the fire. Following the fire, there was considerable controversy as to whether there should have been more and better lit exits. However, the cinema was in compliance with existing fire code regulations. The disastrous fire led to renewed enforcement and strengthening of fire regulations at DC clubs. It led also to the founding of the Gay and Married Men’s Association as a social alternative. Following the fire, the Cinema Follies re- opened at 24 O St. SE.

The Mattachine Society of Washington (MSW) published The Insider, a newsletter for members that covered aspects of life in Washington DC before the Gay Blade first appeared in October 1969. In the late 1960s, Eva Freund and Richard Schaefers wrote and edited the newsletter. The Insider gives readers a look into the monthly activities of The Mattachine Society during the Sixties as well as an overview of media views and MSW's support of other homophile groups of the period. The issues from 1966 and 1967 focus on internal Mattachine operations and meetings, with some attention to media interest in homosexuals. The issues from 1969 and 1970 chronicle internal operations, training sessions, and events. Readers will also find a distinct change in tone between the February 1969 and the January 1970 issues, as the editors note and support the dawning "Homosexual Revolt". Late issues of The Insider show MSW's support of the new Gay Blade and new organizations such as the Gay Liberation Front in New York.
