AutoScots! 11 years, 11 months agoHey guys!
So, I had a thought today and it might not be a good one but I thought I’d throw it out there and see how it goes. Basically, every June in Edinburgh a bunch of ladies (and some guys) get together and walk 26.2miles overnight in their bras to raise money for breast cancer charities. I did it a few years ago and while it was pretty…[Read more]

The First International Meet-Up: January, Scotland, U.K. (probably) 11 years, 11 months agoCan we confirm that January 6 to 9, 2012, are the agreed-upon dates for this meet-up? Those of who have to fly over from The Netherlands etc just want to confirm this so we can begin by booking tickets and hotels, which have climbed in price by increments of €2 – €4 by the end of the week.
Also, for those who know more, could you provide an app…[Read more]
-
Jan 6th-9th suits me and, unless I hear otherwise, should definitely be the chosen dates.
Hmm, money…
I reckon you could get a decent hotel/hostel for about £50 per night B&B, but you will want to browse Expedia, etc. for that. Maybe there are cheaper places to stay…
Transport… about the cities and between the cities… £20 per day s…[Read more]
-
Okay, so once I tally that up and take into consideration conversion rates, those of us coming from euro-carrying countries should walk with approximately €270 – €300 for all three days, which would include transport, food, drinks, and excursions. This is if people end up sitting down for every meal and people watching though, so that should be…[Read more]

I book my flights with http://www.skyscanner.net – they seem pretty cheap in general. I think they are also branching into accommodation, too.
I wonder if there is a way to message all the members of the group and get everyone thinking about this…

-
Cool! Thanks for the question and info.
Just another question arises (to me).. Are we looking at tickets/hotels to edinburgh or glasgow?-
According to me, we should be flying into and staying in Edinburgh, and will probably take a day trip to Glasgow.
-
This is exactly my plan! If y’all think it a good one!
-
Definitely do. Hehe

I am moving back to Melbourne after 7 years in Germany and 2 before that in Sydney. I am nervous and excited at the same time. It’s a good thing that summer’s coming to the ‘arse end of the world’, cos I’m hoping that’s going to make the move less painful. So where are the dykes of smelbourne hanging out these days?
-
I will be spending time in Melbourne soon and would also like to know the answer to this question.
-
BUELLER?
-
moving back to australia?ahh I thought I finally found somebody from Vienna on here….
I just moved to the city:)-
sorry, mate! Thanks also for reminding me to update my profile. The Vienna stop was a while ago. You’ll be fine; there are lots of nice queeries in Vienna. Places to go: the Villa Magdalena (the best place to drop into to grab flyers and find out about what’s on), Marea Alta, Gumpendorfer Straße 28 – cute bar, nice people, and EdieundMarie, run…[Read more]
-
cheers!:)I’ll check these places out.
-
pretty awesome that your updated profile says now ‘Hamburg,Germany’…lived there ’till I moved to Vienna.
-
are you stalking me? :)
-
oh yes.
next destination: melbourne,Oz
(actually spent jan-march2011 there. so, you might be stalking me,huh?)-
I have no idea any more. I have actually lived in Hamburg for 7yrs. This year I was in Oz also Jan-Feb, then Mar-June in Wien for work. Then I was all over the farken place for a while and am back in HH to pack up my stuff for good.
One more tip for Wien: Fett und Zucker. Hollandstraße 16, 1020. Nice cafe, queer cake-bakers. GREAT if you or…[Read more]
-
I will continue stalking your profile….someday we might be in the same city at the same time.
thanks for your tips!I live in the 3rd.so thats pretty close to some of your suggestions:)

And what’s with Australians and living in Vienna?

Hi :) Anyone from *cough* Radelaide??
-
I am :)
-
Oh cool, nice to meet you, fellow Radelaidean :)
-
-
Two new Rads?! What’s the bet we all know a common lesbian?
-
Adelaide – 4 degrees of separation, Lesbians in Adelaide – 1 degree of separation!?!?!
-
-
Radelaide! (don’t hide behind a cough, Radelaide is nothing to be ashamed of… you could be living in Wagga Wagga ; )
-
Haha! I cough because Rads know how rad Radels is (in that familiar, comforting radelicious way), but others may not be aware of the radness ya know?
-
Lovely alliteration there.
So where you from, North, South, West, East?
-
-
-
Anyone heading to or keen to go to the Jezebels next week? I am having no luck convincing anyone to go. My friends… such bad taste in music, le sigh.
-
I’ll be there. Having friends with bad music taste is always disappointing.
-
I would have gone, alas, I’ll be at the KI surf music fest..! It will be a great show – enjoy!
-
How was the show? Anyone planning on going to the BDO?
-
BDO – no one there excites me enough to fork out the money for it. Laneway ftw
-
Yeh, I agree. The line up is below average for next year.
-
BDO hasn’t been very good for a few years now.
Laneway is usually better but I can’t believe Feist isn’t playing Adelaide next year :(-
Playing a side show but it’s quite expensive.
-
Indeed. Why do all the festivals and bands come in Jan-March when I’m still recovering financially from xmas!
Any Adeladies going to Picnic on Sunday?
-
I’ll be going – have you been to much during feast this yr?
-
I mainly go to comedy things. I went to The Comedy Gayla, Lori Bell and the Gay Debate last night. You?
You might spot me at picnic, I’ll be wearing an ultra gay Autostraddle Tshirt probably ha
-
-
-
-
How much are Feist tickets by themselves? I just got a Laneway-Feist double ticket. Also, “queer-identified” band Austra are going to be there, they’re pretty awesome!
http://www.afterellen.com/people/2011/03/an-interview-with-katie-stelmanis-of-austra?page=0,0
Haven’t been to much Feast unfort and busy on Sunday too :(
-
I’m pretty sure they are about $75 by themselves, how much was the double ticket?
Haven’t heard of Austra, I’ll give them a listen.
Ohnoes how can you be busy on picnic day?!-
The double ticket was $154, not bad considering tickets to Laneway are $115 by themselves. A bit sneaky.. what is it about festivals not having headliners but having side acts (like Kanye) – a money thing I presume? At any rate, I love Feist so much, I would probably prefer to see her in intimate concert anyhow!! Have fun at picnic :)

I’m a bit late to this radelaide party, but yes I do hail from there! Should have checked this message board when I was looking for people to see the jezebels with!!!

Any gaymos in london?!? I need queer friends, I’m new to town, and I swear I’m not creepy.
-
me! I just moved here 3 weeks ago and need queer friends to go out with also!!
-
Are you back in london long-term then?
-
-
I move back there in a weekish, and some more queer friends would be good
-
I just moved here too (from the US), and I’m also not creepy and want friends!
-
Yeah- I’m here for at least a year – going to SOAS (I am guessing marjorie is there too, given you’re studying se asian islam!)
-
Oh wow, another SOASian! Let’s be friends!
-
I just joined AS after months of lurking just because I saw this thread, which may sound kinda creepy, but I swear I’m not either.
I’m new to London and would love to meet people too! :D I’m at LSE.
-
Awesome! Yeah – we are both at SOAS it would seem, but LSE is not far. What part of London are you living in?
-
Really nearby SOAS, actually! I spent more time there than at LSE in my first week of being in hall.
-
I AM AT LSE. I’ve lived here for 2 years now. It’s WONDERFUL.
-
If you were there last Fri afternoon, then we have met!
-
No fecking way, yeah I was! Go to the AGM this Thursday and vote for ROB for LGBT PRESIDNET.
Hangon I’ll PM you haha!-
president even.

I have this issue too. Hey, The Ghetto is opening again in January and I remember it being pretty much the best gay thing in London when I was here before I went to uni. We could have that as like a new year’s resolution :)
-
I live just outside london :D
-
I’ve just moved to London after the gayest year of my life in Leeds, and I totally need gay friends. I’ve not seen an alternative lifestyle haircut in weeks. I’m in South London
