queer dinner (and BDSM party) in Austin??
After some bad experiences with more mainstream alt-typed social events -- oh, the irony of mainstream alternative parties! -- I'm wanting to have an explicitly queer- and trans-friendly get together.
Jimmy and I are thinking about hosting a party next weekend. It would be a dinner party + social event + play party (for those interested). Long story short, I think it'd be fun to have an inclusive get together hosted by and for people who are queer or trans in some way; you don't have to be queer or trans to attend, but you must understand that it will be a queer- and trans-affirming space and marginalized voices won't be silenced as I've seen happen in other places.
I want to do it on a weekend that a good number of folks can attend. I know Flipside is two weekends from now, so I was thinking the week before that might work -- Saturday, the 17th. I also know GWNN is that weekend. Thus, if folks are deciding to go to GWNN -- despite its fair amount of gender and sexual normativity :) -- we can try to make this party the 31st of the month. Just give me some feedback!
Let me know if you'd be interested in coming. It's inclusive of all ages (over 18, that is, as I don't want to be arrested!), all genders, all body types, all sexualities, and all identities in general. If you drink, please be prepared to have someone to drive you home or plan on staying the night, so that you don't die or kill someone and have me sent to prison. :) Evidently, I am scared of prison!
I also want to make clear that if you attend for the dinner and socializing, you don't need to engage in the play activities. I may or may not, as I know many others are much more into the scene than I am. Even if you're not into BDSM -- kink really isn't your thing or you're trying to abstain from possible sex-related stuff -- please still come! I'll make sure you have a good, clean time.
If you can read this, you're invited! Let me know if this weekend would work for you or if you'd even be interested in this kind of thing.
