LGBT West Seattle

[Shibaguyz]

We are thinking of starting a social group for the LGBT community here in West Seattle. Anyone interested? Give us your ideas for get togethers, activities, etc.

We just don’t ever hang out over at the clubs in Downtown Seattle and we really don’t like attending any of the events over there. We’ve always thought it would be nice to have a group of folks who could get together over here on this side of the bridge.

Just a thought… let us know what you think.

What is LGBT???

[JanS]

RonM…Lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender…:)

I didn’t think he was serious :) Shibaguys, are potlucks still in the rule book or was that just 80’s lesbians? And what about *friends of*? Are they invited?

[Shibaguyz]

JanS – thanks for explaining to RonM.

JT – It’s all good! We love a good potluck. “Friends of” are always good too. Just looking for an alternative to the “scene” over on “the hill.” We know there are LOTS of us over here because we see a lot of the people we knew from “the hill” over here now living in houses they just purchased. I’m thinking LOTS of places for potlucks and cook outs!

[Synergy3k]

as a new resident and someone who hasn’t been to the hill scene at all, I’d definteley be interested!

[Aim]

We’re in! Absolutely, 100% in.

[JanS]

I love this blog….bringing people together one more time :)

I have some friends on the hill that I keep telling that West Seattle is the place to be now…one guy is the manager of an apt. bldg. there – and the building is ordinary, the neighborhood mediocre, and the rents astronomical. If you’re gonna pay the high rent, I say live over here on this side of town…

Good luck and great idea! As a member of the “friends of” crew, I remember being disappointed that dunderp didn’t get any response to a request here for an organized lesbian group (social I believe) in WS. I went back and looked, it was 4 months ago, so Pamela, if you’re still out there, hope you might connect with Shibaguyz. And p.s. Shibaguyz, aren’t ANY clubs downtown so last year anyway ;)

Count me in! Would love a queer west seattle social group–summer cookouts or deck drinks or potlucks– and then see what the interest is. PS-Shibaguyz-enjoy your blog & am totally interested in the intensive gardening! We are just in the early stages here at our place!

[Shibaguyz]

Okay, it seems like there is at least enough interest for a gaggle of us to get together first then we can organize more from there. Next weekend is totally booked up for us but the following weekend we could all agree on a meeting place. Late Saturday afternoon/early evening works best for us. Suggestions?

[meg]

I could do late saturday afternoon–after 430 (i’m working that day). Coffee? Or ?

[MrJT]

Shibaguyz, This is West Seattlewood ! Sounds like a great idea, we’ll watch for more information.

[angelr]

I’m all for this!! My partner and I just moved to WS and love it. I know there are quit a few of us in the area.

I think maybe we should meet in some restaurant first to plan our follow up events.

I’m very excited about it!!!

[fernanda]

Maybe we could get togther for a potluck picnic at Lincoln Park!

[meg]

So perhaps saturday june 7th…maybe around 530pm? Lladro? Or C&P (can get coffee or wine/beer there)? Or any other suggestions?

[Shibaguyz]

That Saturday is a little up in the air for me right now. We have a coach in from out of town that day in our studio so I’m not sure what time I’ll be able to get away.

We love C&P and have been trying to find an excuse to hang out there more often. We’d definitely vote for there.

[meg]

Anyone else interested want to chime in on time/thoughts/etc? Shibaguyz- since this was your idea, would another day/time work better? Or do you want to leave it till closer that day?

[michelled]

We’re interested… and I’ll keep checking here to see what people come up with, but count us in :)

[DK]

Sounds great…We’ll check back to see what the verdict is.

A late afternoon, early evening potluck sounds good but the other ideas would work just as well.

Thanks Shibaguyz for kicking off the idea!

[fernanda]

I’m not familiar with “C&P” (can you spell it out?) but we would definitely show up wherever.

[flowerpetal]

C&P Coffeehouse, 5446 California Ave.

Count me in if it is after 6:00 p.m.

[meg]

So, saturday the 7th? Or the 14th? Any votes? thoughts?

I would vote for this Sunday the 9th or Saturday the 14th.

And C&P would be my top choice.

[angelr]

This Saturday the 7th works for us!!

[Shibaguyz]

In an unfortunate twist of circumstances, I am working until around 6pm or so on Saturday. Sunday is a full day for us as well just catching up on all the work in the garden that we have had to put off this past week and a half.

Sounds like there are plenty of you all who can make it though so you should definitely get together and we’ll work out the next gathering.
