    @tascha, @shenan, @microwave : new Taipei meet up thread :)
    So, sk has suggested Friday night at around 8.30/9pm, which definitely works for me :) could we poss meet at the nearest MRT station to where we want to go, because I’ve not been here too long and am pretty useless at finding places at the best of times… should be good!

    • Yes! And yes, let’s meet at an MRT. Michelle, what’s the nearest one to this cute place we’re going to?

    • I apologize for this late reply– I actually can’t make it Friday :-/ Let me see if I can find the bar anyways.

    • But y’all have fun. I’m going to be in HK next week, but when I come back I hope we can still hang out =)

      • Hey, hope you’re having fun times in HK – are you back by Sunday by any chance? Cause, after a successful first taipei-straddlers meet up, ‘sk’ and I were thinking of going somewhere to eat, would be awesome if you could join us.
        Also, I’ve just realised that Jailhouse is situated not too far from my house, so field trip at some point..? x
        p.s. just had a frustrating ten minutes trying to send this as a message, so apologies if you’ve somehow received, like 5 messages and now this.. technology is not my friend.

        • awesome. glad you guys had fun in taipei.
          and totes down for a sunday meetup. would a lunch work?

          • lunch would be great :)

          • Yes, lunch is fine with me. Also! You guys, lesbian film! In an actual cinema! French! Field trip, asap? http://www.spot.org.tw/etheater/ (Gigola)

            • Haha sorry I realise I should have written something a little more practical than just ‘lunch yay’ – shall we go to one of the veggie places that sk wrote about below? Lesbian film field trip = yes. I can do thurs or fri, but cause of class the earliest viewing I can make is 15.50.

              • Sure! Shall we meet at Taipower MRT, maybe, and then walk somewhere from there? The Happy Tomato place is a like a ten min walk – but there’s also so many other options, obvs. Does one/one thirty work?

                • HI FRIENDS! One o’clock at Taipower MRT sounds fabulous. Look for Chinese girl with glasses and a bob. And YES on movie!!!

                  • awesome :) I’m embarrassingly pink after a day at the beach, really hoping it’ll calm down over night but if not.. then look out for a pink, embarrassed girl. x

                    • Ok sorry this is last minute, but the station is really big. Let’s meet at Exit 1, just for clarity’s sake and we can figure out where to go from there. See you all soon!

      • Yes, all of the above – I also hope that you’re having fun in HK, and are maybe back by Sunday! :)

    • yeh of course michelle just let us know when you’re back :) sk, microwave, and anyone else for that matter – I’m still game if you are :)

    • Oh, Michelle, that’s a shame! But have fun in HK. I’m still in for Friday, though, yesss :) Um, there are quite a lot of open air bar places in Ximen that can be quite good, if it isn’t raining?

    • Sure, sounds good :) Ximen MRT at 9pm then?

    • Yes! Exit 6, inside the covered bit at the top of the escalator? In case it isn’t immediately obvious, by virtue of my being a foreigner who looks like she’s looking for someone etc, then I have brown hair and it’s kind of chin length. Also, can I interest you in jazz at Sappho afterwards? One of my friends knows someone who’s playing, and so some of my friends are going and maybe it would be good (although I genuinely have no idea). Also, maybe we could encourage them in their tentative plans to, like, actually be a gay bar sometimes?

      • Ok sounds good :) I’m short, with long dark brown hair and a fringe. Plus I’ll be the one walking around, looking confused and peering into the faces of foreigner women looking for a sign of recognition.. (if there are any major problems I’ll call you). Also totally up for jazz, Sappho etc :) see you tomorrow!
