2 Gyrlz began it’s legacy with the formation of
Two Girls Review,
an experimental literary/ arts journal based in Eugene, Oregon;
headed by Lidia Yukman (now Yuknavich) and Devin Crowe.

Two Girls then created an event production division to pay for the
journal and began promoting events, primarily in Eugene and Portland.

Some of the events hosted by Two Girls included local as well as international artists and performers such as; photographers Andres Serrano and Joel Peter Witkin, performance artists Annie Sprinkle, Kate Bornstein, Drew Pisarra, writers Andres Codrescu and the late, great Kathy Acker.

 

The journal moved to San Diego with Lidia and the reins of the event division where handed to Lisa Newman and Llewyn Máire.

The Girls became Gyrlz
and the Two became 2,
(An interdisciplinary event series was born in May)
and a not-for-profit LLC was formed in July of 2000; 2 Gyrlz Productions.

After an initial onslaught of performative events, the gyrlz became incorporated as a Public Benefit Nonprofit Corporation in January of 2001 as Two Gyrlz Inc, despite major setbacks caused by a fire that same moon*.
