I’m usually not this forward, but I’ve got a pretty serious question to ask you, so I’m just gonna take a deep breath, close my eyes, and go for it.
can we hang out?
No, seriously. I wanna meet you. We all do. That’s why we’re organizing two weeks worth of events in many different spaces and places. That’s what International Autostraddle Meet-Up Week is all about. Oh yes, you heard me right. Hang on to your laptops, kittens, because International Autostraddle Meet-Up Week? It’s a thing.

what if riese called you on the phone and said “hey, let’s meet up.” what then?
via amazeballs intern geneva
I understand that at this moment you might be hyperventilating from excitement, so let’s review what the heck is going on here. You might remember that we threw a fundraiser, and y’all blew us away with your generosity. We felt a huge snuggly sense of community and that warmth will probably never leave us, seriously it’s like wearing a sweater 24/7 and I love it. We’ve tried to express exactly how freaking thankful we are with our words, and I think y’all know how much you mean to us, and how tightly we’d like to squeeze you in a giant group hug that spans oceans and fields and moons and stars. But now we’d like to take our love and appreciation a step further. Shit’s about to get tangible.
We promised that if we hit $60,000 we would host an International Autostraddle Meet-Up Week, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. And actually, because we’re overzealous and wildly optimistic and just wanna hang out with you all the damn time, we’ve turned it into International Autostraddle Meet-Up Weeks, and it will officially take place from Friday, October 12 – Sunday, October 28. Lez be real you guys, that’s practically a month, and it includes Halloweekend. There are going to be so many hugs. (Also please don’t panic, if you’re not a touchy-feely person we will totally not hug you at all, everything that happens at these meet-ups will be 10000% consensual.)
Here’s the plan: Our team members are scattered all over the place, and we’re working hard to create multiple events for International Autostraddle Meet-Up Week(s) in the cities we call home. But we don’t live everywhere, and in order to make this truly international (and truly the absolute best most fun it can possibly be) we’re gonna need your help.
As with past Autostraddle meetups, if you’re interested in hosting / coordinating a meetup in your city, email autostraddlemoderators [at] gmail [dot] com with the following info. We’ll ask you to create a Facebook event (as that seems to be the easiest way for people to connect) and we’ll add your event to this very page.

Special Instructions
Please bookmark this page and keep checking back, because we’ll be updating it a lot throughout the month and I don’t want you to miss a meetup in your city. That would be the saddest thing in the world. Probably I would cry. Please don’t make me cry — check back here often! I love you all and cannot wait for everyone to meet-up everywhere. Look at all these fun things you can do!

There is a queer event that is not hosted by a Chicagostraddler, but that many Chicagostraddlers will be attending. It’s Homo-Coming 2012 at Beauty Bar. It’s an annual queer party for charity that is thrown by the promoters that throw most of the queer dance parties in Chicago. It would be an excellent place for a sort of impromptu meet up since we didn’t have a chance to plan anything that quickly.

Interest in a New Orleans event? We could hit up Allways and/or St Roch, lots of options!
Im interested. I dont know much about new orleans ive only been twice but i only live 1hr 45mins away so i can come down some time
yesss! let’s do it.
endless gaycation is that weekend!
wow that sounds so freakin awesome, i just looked it up!! i’m going away that weekend, what poor timing :(
Yes! Let’s make it happen. Gaycation is going down this weekend, but maybe we can organize a meet-up next weekend.
i’m not holding my breath (at least, not that much), but i literally just moved from boston, land of the queers, to shanghai, where i know no one and even fewer queer people. if anyone is in or near shanghai, i would love to help put something together and meet up!!
There was someone higher up!
Oh man the closest thing to me is Ottawa, Ontario and thats still a 5 hour train ride x(
Anyone around Toronto interested in meeting?
Hi Ness! Here is the one Toronto event so far: http://www.facebook.com/events/281262768657170/
…and we’re working on some more!
Omigosh YES thanks so much!!
*cough* Harrisburg PA? *cough*
Quick question: Is there a way I can RSVP for the Lesbian Herstory Archives even without making a Facebook profile?
I’m going to make one eventually, once a few insecurities get dealt with, but I’m not quite ready to make one yet and I don’t want to go screwing up a headcount or anything…
“Lesbian Herstory Archives *event*…”
Sigh… I suck.
hi alexandra! you can totally RSVP for that event without a fb. in fact, consider yourself rsvp-ed. i’m going to let gabrielle know that you’ll be attending…all you need to do is show up at the archives on saturday! (and no pressure — if you end up not coming / have other plans / change your mind that is perfectly alright…but i hope you do come & i look forward to meeting you!)
Cool! Thanks! I’m looking forward to meeting you and Gabrielle, too!
I live about four hours away from Orlando but I am so tempted to pack up and go anyway because HARRY POTTER and QUEER LADIES.
COME!
Anyone in south Florida? Fort Lauderdale? Miami? Somewhere!
I’m in Miami!!
EPP!! The closet one to me is in DC and that is a 5 hour drive. Anyone in the 757 area?
I am both really excited and terrified for this! Praying that my social anxiety does not get the better of me, and that a Toronto meetup forms. I’m so-very-new to the city and I want to meet cool people! And what better place to meet said cool people than an AS meetup?
Caitlin! Come to the Toronto event: http://www.facebook.com/events/281262768657170/ It’s a soup swap, in my house, which is filled with lovely humans and kitties. I want to meet you!
The closest to me is San Francisco, but that’s a 4-ish hour drive. Anyone live near Chico?
Oh Chico Person! I’m not living there currently but I did for 10 years or so. Good luck with your meet-up quest!
PS I think there is a queer art show soon at the Stonewall Center and this week is Queer Week at Chico State. If you do FB this should have all the details plus more cool stuff: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stonewall-Alliance-Chico/111212592241368
This is the worst timing for me! I’m studying in Argentina for a semester, but I’ll be in Brazil and Paraguay for most of this time period, damnit.
I saw some Brazil people higher up.
I’m so excited for the fall picnic in nyc…. when I go home from college next weekend I will bring back a pie pan and I will bring you guys pie and it will be delightful. oh man oh man oh man. eeeee!
oops. that wasn’t supposed to be a reply. that was supposed to be its own thing. sorry, i am bad at internet…
that sounds uh-mazingggg! cannot wait for this pie (and to meet you, duh)!
Portlanders! I want to organize something. Does anyone have thoughts or preferences?
Queer/trans yoga ($5)+ dive bar on the 12th
Gender-free square dance($7) +pizza on the 28th
Craft Rumble ($10) +happy hour on the 18th
Radical Women’s rummage sale on the 20/21?
So, I’m not gonna be there for this meetup, but I’m moving back to PDX this summer and I would like to know more about queer yoga, plz.
“This class was created to hold a safe space for queer and trans folks to deepen their yoga practice in a comfortable environment.

I would love to have a meetup in Helsinki or some other Finnish city. But I have no idea if there are ANY Finnish people on Autostraddle. Anyone?
There’s me! Let’s have one.
Great! If there’s no one else, two’s a party as well. ;) I’ll PM you.
you guys should send in an official event and then if there are any other ‘straddlers that are too shy to comment they can join, too!
*waves* Shy Helsinki ‘straddler here! I’m not actually a member, but I read AS like all day every day and would love to meet up (but only after October 22nd cuz that’s when I return from travels). An official event would be awesome!
I don’t know if anyone’s going to read this, but if you’re planning on coming to LezCab, please make a reservation here: http://www.theduplex.com/~thedup/webcalendar/view_entry.php?id=7112&date=20121014. RSVPing on Facebook does not a reservation make. Thanks :)
HI BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEINGS.
we are all so excited that YOU are so excited about meetup week(s)!
we are going to edit this post to reflect all the amazing meetups that are being sent in to us and discussed in this very excellent comment thread.
i am away for the long weekend and have very limited computer access, so all of these edits will take place on tuesday when i return.
i just don’t want anyone to think they are being ignored / we are not excited about your meetup, because we are SO EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE MEETUPS.
i love you all. i can’t wait to take over the world together!
Thank you!!! It is so hard to scroll down and read and filter all the possibly amazingly fun things to do (and not die of jealousy over some that are far far away!). Thank you for creating such a radtastic situation here, even if we technically fun-raised for it. I fucking love you guys.
Also, don’t forget to add this! I actually organized an event at my house because you guys were so rad at encouraging us to get our own events going. Thank you! Vancouver: https://www.facebook.com/events/397753970291704/?context=create
Any Autostraddlers in Italy? It would be great to have something in Rome!
you should host something!
I’m in Italy, but i live near Milan!
Dang, Denver, why you gotta be queer and seven hours away?
Any Texas queers? COME OUT OF HIDING, yall? Let’s party.
Preferably in San An or somewhere along those lines! I’m down by Mexico…but considering all the cartel crap it probably wouldn’t be the best place to throw a get-together.
Hey Kate! are you in Monterrey by any chance?
Anybody in the Champaign/Urbana area? I’m happy to co-plan if there’s people intersted, but I’m relatively new to town so some help in organizing would be nice
Oh man that’s my hometown! I don’t live there any more though… damn, I totally would if I could.
anybody wanna meet up in DC to go the the revival, lol im afraid ill chicken out if i go by myself :D
Hey, y’all –
There’s going to be one in Durham, NC, at Fullsteam Brewery for anyone who’s in the Triangle!
You can find the Facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/118643984954552/
Okay Austin, I see y’all in here… let’s make it happen this time!
Anyone in Columbia, MO?
I usually work on the weekends, but hopefully I can come to one of these. I just moved to the DC area so I am looking for new friends. :)
Anyone in Vietnam? Anyone? Anyone? …Bueller? I’m currently living in Hanoi and NOBODY IS GAY HERE, it is the saddest thing.
Also I will be in HCMC towards the end of October, if there are any Autostraddlers in either of those places we should hang out and talk about feelings and kittens and Tegan and Sara or anything you want to talk about, I will literally talk about anything you want, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I JUST WANT TO GET TO BE BLATANTLY QUEER FOR A BIT.
Anyone in Amsterdam that would come to an event on the week of the 15th-21st? I’m trying to gauge if there’s any interest in doing one here.
MileHighFemme is doing one in Utrecht that saturday but I wanted to see how many of us are in the ‘dam! And I was thinking that if there’s enough interest, I’d organize a week-day event and then one on sunday. Thoughts?
London London London! Would totally be up for helping out with organizing and whatnot :) I need events where i can go to that doesnt involve me drinking gallons ( slight exaggeration) of alcohol to be able to to talk to somebody else in the dark….
HOW COME LA GETS TO HAVE KARAOKE BUT NYC DOESN’T
HOST NYC KARAOKE!!!!
just because i’m terrified of the mic, doesn’t mean all of nyc should suffer — someone who isn’t me should totally host an nyc karaoke situation!
@floralprintdress as much as I’d love to meet people in spain. I’m actually In Vienna, Austria and thats also where I planned to hold the meet up :)
fixed! thank you — i hope the vienna meet up is amazing :)
Tampa anyone? As much fun as Orlando sounds it’s a little far for me:/
YES YES TAMPA!
There is the LGBT Film Festival that ends Oct. 13, or like a fall picnic could be sweet too. What would you be interested in doing?? Lez plan this shit, yo
GASP! You are in Tampa?! ahh so excited! Have you looked at the film festival calendar? I wanted to go this weekend
I am indeed! Lots of them seem so so awesome. I shall message you on here and maybe we can figure something out :)
Can’t wait for all these amazing NYC activities!
I am super excited for the Philly Meet Ups!!! <3
Highly doubtful…but anyone in Ecuador?
Ya! 3 activities added to Montreal! :D
I’m new to Phoenix and I don’t have a facebook but I want to meet people in Phoenix/possibly go to one of these events. So hit me up on here if you’re in Phoenix because I’m tired of not having any lesbian friends especially since I left a great group of them back in Chicago.
I just realized I wasn’t logged in, but I’m Cassie from Phoenix :D
I’m feeling personally victimised by this fb RSVP thang. But actually, just expect an extra homo mtl-ers
I agree. I don’t have a facebook and all of the Phoenix events say that you need to RSVP which kinda sucks… not everyone has a fb, straddlers!
Hey Cassie! I’m Judyna, organizer of three of the events. You can email me at ju (at) juberry (dot) com if you want to keep in touch for the events! I would love to see you there.
We often forget our non-FB counterparts…
Whoops, I just realized you’re FROM Phoenix, AZ and not interested in the events happening at the Royal Phoenix. My bad!
if you don’t have a fb it’s okay, just show up! the idea is that we want headcounts for some of the events, but i don’t want anyone to feel personally victimized! if you can find a way to email the person hosting the event (like, say, laneia!) you should do that, otherwise just show up and we’ll all wing it. facebook shall not be the deciding factor on showing up at meetups!
Hey Giles, I assume you don’t have FB either… I’m Judyna, the one organizing a few of the MTL activities, you can email me here and I’ll keep you updated on the events: ju (at) juberry (dot) com
This is so amazing, Im SO excited just looking at them all! :D
Is there any interest for the midlands in the UK, like Sheffield, Notts, Derby etc???
As I would definitely be up for organizing something XD
Anyone from pittsburgh interested?
My event didn’t get onto the list yet, but it’s coming up really soon, so I’m going to leave this here:
http://www.facebook.com/events/164235503714319/
Halloween themed cabaret/burlesque show at the Inferno Nightclub, Madison, Wisconsin. It’s this Friday (10/12), ladies, so RSVP soon!
If anyone else is in Madtown get in touch with me to plan more events! I’d love to have a brunch situation as well. My email is greenearthgirl4 at gmail.com
hey @findquiet — could you please re-send your event to the moderator email?? for some reason it’s not in there so i don’t know what happened to it, but we’d really like to add your event to the list if possible! i’m sorry about the confusion but thank you in advance!!
I’m in for the Durham, NC one. PSYCHED, yo.
Expat stranded in Uganda…. I have very little hope that anyone would be interested, or I would totally host, haha.
Someone in Taipei should totally do this…especially since the 27th is Pride
Calling all queer peeps from Melbourne, Australia!
There is already a big event on this sunday (Big Gay Day in the Park – http://www.facebook.com/events/504478019564074/). Why not combine them?
A couple of us from I’m Awesome, Thanks! have organized a group for anyone who’s looking for people to go with. Just show up and look for the two girls in the blue ‘Free Hugs’ t-shirts (Photo of said ladies here: http://www.facebook.com/ImAwesomeThanks)
PS! You can PM me if you wanna say hi prior to sunday :)
CHICAGO! I am just going to leave a comment here because I can’t really make this an event… but on Saturday October 20th there is derby. It’s the Windy City Rollers home closer, and I am always there (because many of my friends [and one of my roommates] are wcr derby girls) with at least a Straddler or two in tow. And there is always an after party that usually ends in the queer derby girls and friends heading out dancing and/or to Boystown. We sit down in section 110-ish near turn two, so look for us/me!
Okay guys, I live in southern Orange County, CA and I don’t see ANYBODY else on here that thinks LA is a bit too far. Send me a message if you want to get together! (We could go to the Best Coast show on Saturday in Santa Ana!)
Okay, so, I’m planning on going to the Brooklyn Flea and the OktoberPHRESH meetups in NYC, but I’m looking at a 3+ hour train/bus ride down there, and another 3+ hour ride back. Is there any chance an NYC straddler could put me up for that Saturday night? I will willingly pay my way with something homemade and delicious!
I live outside Vancouver and it’s tricky for me to get there on a Thursday evening… any Van ‘straddlers around this weekend for a tea/beers Cafe Deux Soliel Sunday afternoon meet-up?
oh my god there are so many meetups
Looks like it fell of the front page! Since many of these don’t happen until next week or the week after, is there any chance of getting it stickied on the front so people can keep finding out?
Oh. It’s there but low on the sidebar and an image. Nevermind! When I searched for it earlier my browser didn’t find it when looking for the word “meet.” Sorry!
Okay, okay, admittedly I know that this is wayyy late in the game… buuuuut I am in grad school right now and have NO time to travel for a meetup. Is there any Autostraddlers currently located in Oregon’s capital who would want to have a lil shindig?? It could be fun . . . We could plan a gay Halloween party while we’re at it.
So is it just me or did the Atlanta Pride pre-Dyke March craft party just not happen? I didn’t see anyone there and certainly no mass of people crafting. Dear Atlanta Metro-straddlers, let’s actually meet up somewhere!
Hi! Unfortunately, the official pride committee never set up the crafting event.
We waited around for quite a while and did happen to randomly meet a few autostraddlers, but I guess we missed you. : (
There for sure should be other Atlanta meet-ups. You should submit something if you have any ideas!
Connecticut, please? Hartford area, anyone? I’m new to the area and would have no idea where to go/host a meet-up.
I must say, once i am old enough i will join you ladies :) definately!
Friday will be the queerest day Edmonton has ever seen because after the Remedy meetup WE CAN ALL GO TO A QUEER DANCE PARTY! AT A BIKE SHOP! http://www.facebook.com/events/276348905810434/
ADD THIS TO THE PAGE MALAIKA YOU ARE WELCOME (I could have emailed you but I am so excited about this I want everyone to know)
The last 2 parties like this one organized by the qmunity league have been the best so everyone just come ok?
Updates for both of the ones I’m hosting since I way underestimated the turnout for them (a great problem to have)…
Utrecht, The Netherlands – Sunday the 21st at Cafe Olivier ending with the Bockbierfestival.
London – Brunch on Saturday the 27th at 1pm at The Blues Kitchen in Camden.
Facebook has been updated to reflect the changes but message me if there are any questions!
Iam 100% always too lazy to log in but i feel like i have just made so many friends just by reading these posts! A moça que esta na Bahia, eu morei lá em 2010, falo portugues e sou de portland tambem! All my PDX/LA/DC folks, haaaay! I am from all of those places! Although I am currently living in the rural queerless hole of Hawai’i Island, this Miss March sends all my love to all your meetups! If one of youz happens to be on Oahu this weekend (20th), email me at luna dot nlyp at gmail dot com. Have fun y’all!
Imma let you finish, but the Bay Area Meetup was the best meetup of all time.
*Adelaide meetup
there we go ;)
Agh, I can’t believe I didn’t see the Orlando meetup until just now and it’s today!! :( But I have an annual pass if anyone wants to go be Hogwartsy another time? :)
Hi Sarah! I am 100% down for a redo! You can never have too much butterbeer.
Ahh I’m somehow late in noticing this, but nowt in Newcastle anyway sadly (or not sadly, seeing as I’d have missed it pretty much by now anyways and would therefore be feeling vexed with myself)
Not many Geordies on here I’m guessing?
Shame! I can barely organise my way out of the house (I’m dizzy, but I can make that work for me most of the time thankfully!) so I’d definitely be relying on someone else for this kind of thing ;)
Cool to see a few dotted around the UK though :)
I MISSED
SYRACUSE
BY ONE DAY
GODAMMIT
Albany is only a few hours if you want to join us this Saturday!
I can’t/couldn’t make it to any of the London meetups :(. Anyone fancy another London get-together?
Hey! There’s a London ‘Straddlers FB group specifically to organise more meetups and other fun stuff :D http://www.facebook.com/groups/372919629458135/
This is suuuuch a long shot, but is anyone down for a meet-up in Cambodia?
