How to buy tickets for Butch/Femme Socials Winter Ball on Feb. 27th:

You may need to set up a paypal account and it's easy to do so, basically you're linking your checking account, atm, or credit card to securely send money over the internet.

Go to www.paypal.com

Click on the button, Send Money Online
At the To, enter butchfemmesocials@ yahoo.com
At the From, enter your email address
At Amount, enter $10.00 PER TICKET
Then click the continue button.

And then follow the instructions from paypal.

Don't forget to include your mailing address and who you're paying for so you can receive tickets in the mail.

RainbowChick07 and myself are having a Super Bowl Party! Well, as big of a one as our apartment can hold that is!

In the effort of being more social with our local bay area bfp folks, we would like to extend an invitation to anyone who is down for watching the game, having a drink, and just generally having a good time!

We will have a pool going for anyone who is interested! We have drinks, and will also be providing football type food!

Anyone is welcome, just shoot me a pm for information on time and place

The Winter Ball was fabulous. 220 butch/femme folks in all our finery and diversity. There were out-of-towners, some first time ButchFemmeSocials attendees as well as familiar faces. Thanks to all you for helping create community.

We also raised $435 in cash and food gift cards (Safeway, Trader Joes's, etc) for the Meals for Reals folks. This is double what we raised last year!!! Meals for Reals provides food gift cards to lesbians in Alameda County who don't qualify for food stamps or their food stamps have timed out. Many many thanks to those who donated in this crappy economy. You are helping lots of b/f folks and other lesbians with your generosity.

And DJ Luna rocked the house with an amazing variety of music with sets of salsa to country western to waltz to hip hop.

And last but certainly not least.... many thanks to all the volunteers......we really truly could not do this without you.

Cal and I had the most amazing time. Slow dancing in a wheel chair is oodles of romantic. The disability access was amazing.

So were the private dances. Ha.

We had a hella good time, music was loud and everyone was Fabulous.



We even had Groovy time on the Patio,
hung out on the ramp n smoked...and
got us a new Gang Sign.







And we got to squish Snowy, Adele, Cal, Grant...and many others.


What more could we have asked for?

Well, Toughy...no event is complete without you losing yer shirt.

And we thank you for making that happen:



More photos on the Facebook of course.


Thanks to everyone for putting it all together.

Greyson and I had the best time. It was very special for us as this dance was where we first met. I loved dancing with Greyson and reminiscing about that evening.

I really enjoyed meeting some of the folks I have interacted with here in real time. Our friends we invited from Sacramento enjoyed it as well.

Thank you Rope and Toughy for hosting the party. It is a wonderful contibution to our community.

And the chicken and waffles hit the spot!
