Gosh, I better start thinking about packing <gasp!>.

The Flame is no longer around. The Gossip Grill is the new hang out spot. I don't know of any events happening.. try www.meetup.com and look for The San Diego Lesbian Meet Up. They have events listed there.

My sister had also recommended Gossip Grill, so I will have to check it out while I'm there!

Thanks~~~

I won't be in town that weekend, i will be landlocked by that time. I am looking forward to the one in Santa Fe, where I am now, but that is a different forum. =)

Thanks!

Speaking of San Diego Pride...

If anyone is going, it would be great to meet up! I am working with Pride this year, so I'll be running around but I'll have some downtime.

We could make a meet up place in the grass by the main stage to talk and hang!

:)

I'm 90% sure I'll be there (but that 10% gets ya every time)

Virago 06-01-2013 06:47 PM

tomorrow, sunday June 2nd, we will be 'celebrating' the passing of a historic location.
The Palms Bar of West Hollywood, over 40 years old, is closing its doors. Please come out and help us send it off in style. This is (was) one of the OLDEST lesbian bars in the country.

So many of the past staff will be there (I was bartender and bouncer from '90 to '97). And I would love to share this emotional evening with any and all of you.

I'll be there at 6pm. If anyone is going, let me know so I'll look for you

I will be there this year! I am Starry's assistant. :) My first PRIDE! Excited for PRIDE and to be in good company!

Wow, memory lane. My first GF and I used to go to The Palms (and Peanuts) all the time in '79, 80.

Peanuts has been long gone...and so are my bar days.

*Sigh*

Anya, I was a bartender at Peanuts also, from '92 to '00. Yes, it's also gone. So much of Lesbian history has passed into memories.

starryeyes, are you at the festival from early to late on Sat? Let's do it. Grassy knoll near main stage meet up and find shade for a picnic :wine::hangloose:

Maybe we could all get together for lunch, unless you have to be there right after the parade. Maybe breakfast?

My BFF's and I will be there on Sat (7/13) around 9AM, for the parade starting at 11, to hear and feel the rumble of the Dykes on Bikes. We may take the train down from OC , and cab over to for the parade. Anyone want to meet and watch the parade together?

We were right here, on this side of the finish line waiting and watching and cheering for them all, and watching for Mike (My friend's brother) and Chris, among the 2,203 riders as they arrived from San Francisco. What a powerful day, as we celebrated with them and realized what an awesome extended family we have when we come together to do things.

After the ceremonies we went to Mike and Steve's and watched the slide show of pictures Mike took along the way. Where whole towns welcomed the Aids riders and had a BBQ for them on one, Ice Cream for all in another and then the shots we don;t get to see.

The tent city they slept in every night, the chow halls set up for their meals,
the porta potties set up at their overnight stops, and the medics with ace bandages, gauze and caring for those injured warriors. I am in awe, and inspired to give more, to care more, to do more. Because, I can.

starryeyes 07-07-2013 10:23 AM

Hi :)

I am not going to be at the Parade, but at the festival. I am working at the event, but we will set up an area near the main stage to meet up!

I am going to get an umbrella and blankets today and I'll post the colors!

:)
