megMemberI will most likely be unable to attend on saturday as well. However, if people do meet–could you post when/where? Also maybe repost on anything that gets set up for future? Or if there is not enough people available for this weekend we could pick another time. Whatever works best for the most people.

angelrParticipantThe other option is Satuday the 14th. That gives everybody a chance to make plans for it.
C&P Coffe House okay @ 6pm or so??
June 4, 2008 at 4:27 pm #625306
RSMemberSaturday the 14th there’s another WSB happy hour being planned at Beveridge Place Pub!! There are two big rooms there so we could do one gathering in each room and those of us that play for both teams could hang out in the middle!! :)
June 4, 2008 at 5:25 pm #625307
megMemberI vote the 14th at C&P….then head over after to beveridge pub. anyone else?

ShibaguyzMemberI’m working Saturday the 14th until 5pm over on the Eastside for this particular event. DANG IT!! I don’t usually work weekends at all!! This just happens to be a few gigs we have that all fall on Saturdays right in a row.
Sunday afternoons (not this Sunday) after we finish up our market day are perfect for us. We could definitely meet up then.
So, our two options are something around 6 or 6:30 at C&P on the 14th or Sunday afternoon the 15th.

AnonymousInactiveI think it would be great if we did the get together ALL together…. what a great way to meet everybody!!!!
June 4, 2008 at 6:29 pm #625310
megMemberI am up for either of shibaguyz suggested times–sat14th or sun15th at C&P. (I like the pub idea, but we will be bringing our baby…)
June 4, 2008 at 11:14 pm #625311
angelrParticipantI like the idea of Sunday afternoon. So Sunday the 15th at around 2 or 3 pm??
June 5, 2008 at 12:16 am #625312
megMembersounds great! how about 3pm?
June 5, 2008 at 2:35 am #625313
seattlesueMemberC&P on California is a great spot! Can I bring my hubby? We love this blog and have jsut recently become active, we would love to meet some more great WS residents.
June 5, 2008 at 3:32 am #625314
mhogfossMemberSounds fun, would love to come just to socialize. I’m straight, but would love to make some great friends in WS.
June 5, 2008 at 3:53 am #625315
amydunnParticipantMmmm yum C &P Italian sodas sound great. Can I come too?
June 5, 2008 at 6:14 am #625316
ShibaguyzMemberSunday the 15th at 3pm at C&P Coffee Co. it is then! Chime in here if you can make it. Again, this is a meet up for the LGBT community here in West Seattle. Being that this is Pride Month, we thought it appropriate we should all meet up for the first time now.
I’m totally open to LGBT & Friends but please understand what we are trying to create here is not a general meeting of folks but a specific group of people in the LGBT (& Friends) community here in West Seattle. So, come one, come all… I just want it clear what the main idea of this meet up is. :)
Weigh in here if you will be able to attend and this will be the first, official meeting of the WS LGBT (& Friends) Community!! WOOHOO!!
June 5, 2008 at 8:25 am #625317
megMemberCount us in! And thanks for the clarification! We love & need our allies…and we also need ‘our people’ to a build local community. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
June 5, 2008 at 8:36 am #625318
JanSParticipantShibaguyz…thanks for the clarification…I think there were some people who weren’t getting it. I’m just a friend, and we will be having an open thing for everyone on the 14th…so I think both groups can win.It’s commendable that you want to do this, esp. in Pride month. Is it true there won’t be a parade this year? at least not on the hill? just a downtown thing? A friend of mine on the hill won’t consider living in WS, and I keep telling him that this is the area to be in, that the LGBT community is growing…yet..he won’t budge…his loss :)

charlabobParticipantThanks to S-guyz and JanS for the clarifications:
General meetup for everyone focused on pretty much anything :-) — Saturday the 14th — BPP
LGBT meetup, focused on LGBT community-building (friends welcome) — Sunday the 15th
Sounds like there are many friends of LGBTs here, available for weddings, bar mitzvahs, possibly dog and kid sitting, so when you-all make a google group or mailing list, maybe you can have a version for LGBT&F where you tell us what to do (make dresses for the prom, daubers for the bingo…) and we can volunteer. I, personally, would be up for a PDA-kissathon at Safeco during an M’s game, but that’s just me.
I guess what I’m trying to say without saying it is maybe the LGBT community would like to get together for the first time without the usual gaggle of earnest liberals, like myself, no matter how friendly we are???? Which seems quite reasonable to me —
When Aim and JT and I finally get together for our “unfit people saunter” walks, I’m really not crazy about being joined by svelte joggers for the first couple of sessions. :-)
If I misunderstood or stuck my foot in my mouth, lemme know. It certainly won’t be the first time.
June 5, 2008 at 4:16 pm #625320
JanSParticipanthey…I get to be in the “unfit people saunter”, too… lol….
June 5, 2008 at 4:18 pm #625321
charlabobParticipantI dunno, Jan, we’re pretty picky :-) You may be entirely too fit. We have auditions. We have standards. Since this saunter seems to depend on my being able to walk further than 10 feet, it may be a few more weeks. But it will be soon.
June 5, 2008 at 5:34 pm #625322
AnonymousInactiveCharla, when you organize the kiss-a-thon I must be there. I think I would pay to see you participate in civil disobedience in this case.
June 5, 2008 at 5:42 pm #625323
charlabobParticipantHey, maybe we could turn it into a fundraiser :-)
I am SOOO furious about the Mariner’s usher’s attack on same-sex-smooches. And basically I’m one of those prudes who isn’t sure anyone should go around sucking face in public. But, dammit, if anyone can, everyone should. Often!
Imagine, at the street fair, a kissing booth with people of the appropriate sex available for everyone? That’s even better than waterboarding, ‘er, dunking House!
I’m even more furious that some people seem to think the usher’s reaction was reasonable and that two women (or men) kissing is something untoward they have to “explain to their kids.” I just go along thinking the world is sane and then, ZAP, along comes reality.
If you don’t know what we’re talking about, google Seattle Mariners+lesbian. All will be revealed.
June 5, 2008 at 5:52 pm #625324
AnonymousInactiveCharla, I can’t even get started on that topic. Infuriating.
June 5, 2008 at 5:54 pm #625325
ErikParticipantCharla –
I was clueless (what’s new?) as to what you were talking about till I went to the seattletimes homepage just now and saw the article. Parents projecting their insecurities onto their kids, things never change.
Perhaps you and House can man/woman the kissing booth?
June 5, 2008 at 6:16 pm #625326
charlabobParticipantErik, I’m glad I put in the search — Like JT, I can’t even think about it (though I obviously just did.) House and I won’t be personing any booth of any kind together anytime soon (or late). Speaking on behalf of myself, ain’t gonna happen :-)
I feel kind of bad that I mentioned the Mariners in this thread — just wanted to say some friends will be there when there’s work to be done; and won’t necessarily be there for the initial meet and greets.
I always wanted to go in Buppy’s for brunch because it was so dark and mysterious from the outside. By the time I found out a straight couple wouldn’t have been out of place, they were gone. :-(
June 6, 2008 at 5:29 pm #625327
angelrParticipantSooooo!! After all this airing OUT!!
We are meeting on Sunday 15th at C&P at 3:00pm correct?
By the way us gay men would like to also have a smooching time at a Mariners game and see what happens!!!! ;-)
Maybe we could walk on the parade. My partner and I have done it before and it was fun!!
June 6, 2008 at 5:35 pm #625328
charlabobParticipantSmooch away, angelr — friends (and troublemakers) will support you. (At this point about the only thing that would get me to an M’s game is a good old fashioned social protest.) I sent a letter to the editor of the PI saying I thought they should be grateful for anyone who bought tickets and should just shut up about whether they kissed or threw vegetables. Oddly, they didn’t print it. :-)
