Once upon a time, we did this really great thing. We took two of the best things on earth and we smashed them together and created an important international queermo holiday. What are two of the best things on earth, you ask? Well duh: brunch and Autostraddle readers, obviously! Yes, you guessed it – this fairytale is all about International Autostraddle Summer Brunch Day, and the reason we’re talking about it on this beautiful day is because it’s that time again! The perfect moment to meet smart cute girls! The exact right second to try out all those amazing eggs-in-holes recipes we told you about this week! The most delicious time of year! Are you ready for this?! I don’t know if you’re ready for this.
Because International Autostraddle Summer Brunch Day was such a whopping success, we decided to be crazy this year and introduce International Autostraddle Brunch WEEKEND. That’s right, we’re getting wild. Also we’re all gonna live happily ever after.
Now that I’ve told a really beautiful fairytale let me give you some details to ensure this can all become reality.
International Autostraddle Brunch Weekend is on July 26-28. Autostraddle team members will be hosting brunches in their respective cities, but since we haven’t quite taken over the world yet we’re not everywhere. That’s where you come in!
If you’re interested in hosting/coordinating a brunch over the weekend of July 26-28 in your city, email chelsey [at] autostraddle [dot] com with the following info, and we’ll update this post to include your meetup!

So go forth and brunch, Straddlers. The cuties and the eggs are waiting for you.

The breakfast plates are between $9 – $14 and the booze is fancy French booze pricing.
Special Instructions: Plan on bringing cash if you come, because 3 hours splitting up credit cards is not how I want to close out this party.

SOUTH BEND INDIANA. bring it on here.
Actually I’m just gonna say if anyone shows up at my apt I will make you eggs. Unofficial Autostraddle brunch.
your commitment to brunch and autostraddle is so admirable
I’m on the wrong continent now, but…can this actually happen in August?
I just wanted to say, whoever did the design on this (and the previous post about brunch) did a really good job. Great design/colors!
Geneva did this one! Isn’t it gorgeous? She is magical.
Fairly unlikely, but anyone about in Stockholm, Sweden?
I’m in Stockholm!! That’s also riiiight before pride isn’t it? 30th of July to 3rd of August.
Woo! I’m actually volunteering at Pride week – sounds like a great way to make friends (I’m really new here), and get past the >£100 price tag. Thanks for organising.
I’ll be visiting my girlfriend who’s a local in Stockholm that weekend!
https://www.facebook.com/events/392398934194678/392402130861025/?notif_t=like
Indianapolis is actually on the list? FINALLY.
Midwesterners! Come to my brunch! I want to meet you all!
Any Southern/Central Maine ‘Straddlers out there? I’m totally down for traveling to the Boston meetup, but if I don’t have to take the Downeaster, that’s more money for mimosas and other lovely brunchy things!
i am in full support of a Maine brunch, but i WILL say that if you default to Boston, you will probably get to see/hear Lizz play a Taylor Swift song on guitar
possibly a Taylor Swift song rewritten for this very occasion
“today was a fairytale / i went to brunch / i used to choose between breakfast and lunch / you took me by the hand / and we drank mimosa punch / today was a fairytale
today was a fairytale / i wore a dress / you wore a rainbow bow tie / you told me i was pretty / with my mouth full of eggs / today was a fairytaaaale”
Well, I’m sold! Clearly the only solution would be to have a Maine brunch on Saturday and take the train to Beantown on Sunday, because ain’t no way I’m missing a gay TSwizzle singalong.
What’s better than brunch? TWO BRUNCHES, is what.
you just won everything
congratulations
Take this on tour? Nashville would be totally appropriate.
Wait… I’m not the only Mainer here? Amazing!
I can’t do Boston on Sunday, sadly, as I have to go to my best friend’s amazing play in the afternoon.
Portland on Saturday morning, anyone?
I have never wanted to go to Boston more in my whole life.
boston wants you
Aw, that’s what all the major metropolitan cities say.
omg ranger, please come!
MY FB LINK IS NOW PUBLIC SORRY FOLKS. IF 60 PEOPLE DON’T RSVP I’LL BE SO SAD.
CARRRMENNN I’M SOOOO SORRRY I KNOW YOU’LL NEVER FORGIVE MEEE
also maybe it’s not the dog’s fault if they’re not friends maybe it’s cause eli likes humans not dogs
Ooh exciting! I’m from Brisbane but I’m in Sydney that weekend. I hope one is organised there. ^_^ (I would organise one myself but I don’t know Sydney that well.)
we’re in the process of organising a Sydney brunch now, stay tuned!
Yes! So happy right now!
Hmmm..DC in July. For Carmen’s birthday. I have that weekend off. Now to convince the other half that a gay ladies brunch to celebrate the birth of Her Fabulousness in our nations capital is a thing we need to do! Fingers crossed!
Londoners, holla!
I live in Michigan, but I’m actually going to be visiting London that weekend (for the first time!). But alas, my mother and sister probably won’t want to attend a queer-lady brunch…
:(
I sympathise, I had pretty shitty comments from the madre when I said I was going to Pride. *sigh*
BUT ENJOY LONDON, LONDON IS AWESOME! :D
would be wonderful.
Somebody beat me and sorted an event out! Excitement! :D
But the London one was at the end of June?…
Oh wait, says July everywhere, apart from on this page! Too confusing for a hungover Saturday morning. I cannot go sadly as I’m already being taken for a birthday brunch.
HOLLAAA
:D
I love whoever chose The Breakfast Club as the meeting place because I love The Breakfast Club. All this excitement and I don’t even know if I’ll end up going. I want to join the group but it’s not private…
there’s a place nearby that does bottomless bloody marys http://www.lostangel.co.uk/sundays.html which i think is something that to someone who is interested in bloody marys might be interested in
Moar Canada, plz? Calgary, anyone? Plus FolkFest that weekend, it’d be great.
There are a few of us Calgary straddlers out there.
I unfortunately will be camping this weekend so I am no help to the cause.
Kind of really hoping there will be something in the NYC area? Probably a no-brainer but haven’t seen anything yet and I have never been to a meet up, but I really want to go!
I second this! NYC (or Connecticut?) anyone?
woooo ct but pretending to be in nyc!
I’m loathe to admit it but I actually live in CT so a southwestern CT situation would work too.
I second (third!) the desire for a CT brunch! I’m super new to the area and nothing would make me feel more at home than brunch with a bunch of queers!!!
Let’s do it! I can’t officially host, but I can definitely help pull something together. I’m in southwestern CT too – any preferences as to which town?
I’m in fairfield/black rock and there are a bunch of great places for brunch around here if everyone’s amenable to that? I know New Haven probably has some good places too.
St. Louis! I’m gauging interest via facebook… I’m willing to host, my MO & IL friends!
Yayaya Saint Louis! How can I help?
I don’t have a Facebook to RSVP with – but definitely excited for the Indy meet up!
Any ladies in Pittsburgh?
There are so many wonderful brunch places here! And many of them veggie/vegan friendly and some of them very queer.
We should definitely do a meet up this Sunday!
I saw that two people liked this… but no one replied.
My friend and I love Zenith in South Side, so we’re going to go there this Sunday! They have huge tables, and everything is vegan. You get a ton of food and it’s all super tasty.
Let’s meet at 11:30am? Anyone who’s interested should reply here! We can maybe figure out details on facebook/text. Go brunch!
Well naturally it would be brunch that finally draws me out of my lurkitude. Is something up withe SF FB link (maybe it’s also set to private?) or am I just clicking wrong?
xoxoeeee
It is set to private! Working to resolve this :)
BRUNCH. drawing straddlers out of lurkitude since the beginning of time.
The Portland event doesn’t have a date yet and I don’t have a facebook so I can’t see the page. I probably can’t make it anyway I have college registration that weekend anyway.
Noooo, I planned to go camping next weekend and then this happens! Can we have an early Vancouver brunch on Friday the 26th, pretty please?
I know there’s a big group of us Edmonton queers. I believe that the Saturday is out, because of the SlutWalk happening at noon. Which leaves Friday and Sunday. Unless we’d be interested in forgoing the brunch aspect and making the meetup about the Slutwalk?
Breakfast and then SlutWalk?
We could do that. I believe there is a Denny’s/some random cafe near the leg that we could probably find to house us.
Sounds awesome. I would love to go to the D.C. brunch but I’m too young and also I have to work and also I don’t even know Caroline so I wouldn’t want to crash her party. But happy birthday, Caroline!
oh my god Carmen. I’m sorry. Happy birthday. I’m gonna go crawl under a rock.
Atlanta folk,
Can we have a meetup here? I’m moving that weekend, so can’t do much to organize, but it would be so great, and I can bring at least 3 people with me, but probably 6. What shall we take over? Revolution Donuts? the Flying Biscuit? Name it and I’ll be there.
I’d come to a meetup! I moved here a week ago, though, and am not familiar enough with the area to plan anything :/
On it!

I’m super interested in the Portland meet up, but I guess I’ll wait for confirmation on the date and hope the location doesn’t change since I don’t have facebook
Sadly, Ramadan doesn’t end until August. Y’all have fun.
¿Hay alguien en Santiago de Chile? ¿Punta Arenas, Valpo, Viña? We can go get winter brunch!
I’m in Santiago, Chile!
I can’t believe there is actually someone else here, I would love to get winter/summer brunch!
To drive 1.5 hours to Indy merely for brunch or to not drive 1.5 hours to Indy merely for brunch.
That is the question…
DO IT.
COSIGN.
I’m trying to decide if I should come back from my mini-vacation early so that I can go to the Indy brunch.
I drove almost 2 hours to go to an AS brunch in Denver once and it was totally worth it. I plan to do it again for this.
just throwing it out there for the future– are there any scotland straddlers? i’m in st andrews most of the year but would totally do an edinburgh or even glasgow meetup
I’ll *hopefully* be moving to Edinburgh in september for university so second this.
In the meantime, anyone from Bristol? I’d be happy to organise it but I still don’t know what days I’ll be around.
I am moving to Edinburgh for uni this year too! What course have you applied to? I’m looking at welcome weekend events right now so I’m getting excited :)
Hi, I’ve applied for physics. What about you?
I’ve only just looked at the events but it seems like there’s loads on (and quite a few lgbtq events too). It’s getting so close now! :)
There’s a whole active group based on Edinburgh and Glasgow called I think Scots Straddlers?
Aha, googling tells me that it is in fact AutoScots http://www.autostraddle.com/groups/autoscots/ and throws up a positive review http://www.formspring.me/Laneia/q/168550288813221060
(I don’t know anything more – it’s vaguely on my radar because I’m sometimes a bit scottish)
I’m from Aberdeen, and moving to Glasgow in September so, yeah we should definitely organise a meet-up sometime!
Boise? Anyone?
…Anyone?
Yessss so psyched the Orlando one is at Ethos!
Ethos is the best! Are you going to come?!
I ended up not being able to make it, but went to Ethos later on and had delicious pancakes albeit sans awesome lesbians. How was it?
Minneapolis? I’ll probably be jet lagged as hell, but I’m in!
I’d totally go to a Twin Cities Brunch event! Are there any other ladies in the twin cities area willing to make this happen??
https://www.facebook.com/events/552607058129383/
Here it is! https://www.facebook.com/events/552607058129383/
Anyone at the northwest of the UK sunny side up? Come on Manchester, Liverpool I know you have this.
oooorrrrr come over to North Wales Pride! it’s that weekend!
Don’t know if it’s a bit far for you but in Leeds this is happening: https://www.facebook.com/events/677391525609355/
It’s not autostraddle connected but it’s going to be full of queer babes. And it starts with brunch and continues with lots of music. It’s a great place their events are always awesome! x
cheers but i was too late seeing these :)
Anyone in the Albany / upstate NY area?
I am! Probably a little too far away for brunch, but it made me sad that no one else had replied to you, so I thought I would.
Seriously, upstate queers, where you at?!
Right?! Oh well, if no one in the capital region responds, I’ll probably just put on my “straddle this” shirt, wander down Lark St, and hopefully find girls and/or mimosas.
Anyone in the Chattanooga/East TN area? Atlanta’s a bit of a stretch for me.
Miami anyone???
My girlfriend and I unknowingly (or because we are secret geniuses) already have [Autostraddle Brunch] reservations at The Federal Miami (http://www.thefederalmiami.com/). It’s gourmet Southern food, plus bottomless mimosas and PBR! Who’s joining us?
i’ve been toying around with visiting new orleans. anyone wanna give me a good reason why i should do it next weekend?
Actually I hate to rain on your Autostraddle brunch parade but you should *not* go next week because it is deathly hot and humid and everyone is currently hidden inside hugging their ACs for dear sweet life. Murp.
hahaha, i live in mississippi. it’s inescapable either way. (though, i type that as i’m inside hugging my AC for dear sweet life…)
(obviously also i would totally brunch with mississippi people if they actually exist. do you exist, mississippi people? you should. or alabama people, too!)
I’m in NOLA…I’m sure we could find a decent place (with AC even!). And I realize I’m a little to this party, but I figured I’d at least add in another vote for NOLA.
Anyone want to have brunch in the VT or NH area?
Ermagerd, a meetup in the Netherlands.. I am pleasantly surprised :D
I’ve been Ctrl+F ing “cleveland” and “ohio” for a week, but no luck… Anyone?
You should host one! Be the brunch you want to see in this post.
Yay! Indy Brunch!
Anyone want to brunch in Northampton, MA at The Dirty Truth next weekend?
Anyone for Philly?
Hey everyone in Illinois or Wisconsin, come frolic at the beach with me! Racine is about 40 minutes south of Milwaukee and 1.5 hours north of Chicago–but totally worth it!
I’m down for the Melbourne brunch. Facebook event invite?

Anyone in the general Philly, Pa area down for brunch? Valanni in the Gayborhood has the most amazing mango mojitos and even better brunch noms!
I would be! Never been to valanni, but it sounds good!
Yes! Let’s do it! I’m free the 28th if you are. You can message me on FB if you want to chat a bit more about it :) https://www.facebook.com/Tracy.Pacher
I’d love to meet for Philly but am only available the 26th or 27th fuckk
For some reason, I can’t reply to your comment Kelly. Boo! I made an event page on FB so we/anyone who wants to can join in. I have plans Saturday, but probably not until later in the day so I can meet up a little earlier. If not this weekend, I’m always up for brunch meet ups :)

I can’t seem to reply either- I’m up for any Saturday morning too! and Sunday!
Is anyone in the Triangle area of North Carolina interested? I work on the 26th and 27th, but would be down for brunch on the 28th. I could maybe host at my place in Durham, or definitely meet somewhere.
I’m working at Duke University and could potentially do Sunday too if you’re interested.
I know there’s already a Philly event going, but does anyone in Lehigh Valley/Allentown area want to brunch together?
Meow. See you there roomie.
If there are any Autostraddlers in the Jupiter/Palm Beach Gardens area we could totally get IHOP yo.
But I feel like maybe I’m alone.
Any Michigays want to brunch? I’m in Detroit, but would travel as far as Ann Arbor, Windsor, or maybe even Toledo.
I can’t wait to meet all the Boston straddlers this Sunday!
There was a Columbus, Ohio last year? Anyone thinking of doing it again?
Seriously contemplating whether to come to the London one…
Is there interest for a Sarasota/St. Pete brunch? I’ll put one together in Sarasota…but would definitely attend one in St. Pete!
Oh Autostraddle Goddesses, please send me a small sign of possible Weekend Brunchers in San Jose, Ca!
Is it just me or is there something wonky with the SLC link? (Not totally sure I can make it anyway, long drive and bad timing but WHO KNOWS.)
the link works for me, but i’m FB friends with the event organizer person. if you’re not already, get on the FB Salty Straddlers :)
Yeaaah, not really in a position where I can be joining FB groups, unfortunately. I should really get a burner FB for this stuff.
My current home in Moscow, ID is too far away to make any of the scheduled brunches, but I’m making croissants for Sunday morning to get in the spirit!
Super stoked to see New York straddlers on Sunday! My first Sunday off work in six months!
I’m obviously a little late to this party, but is anyone in Baltimore?
I’d go to DC, but I’m only 20 :/. But Happy Birthday Carmen! (You don’t know me but I hung out with your dog once and we went to Chef Geoff’s. He’s super adorable and I also love my dog with a fiery passion and cannot wait until I’m old enough to do adult queer DC dog lover things.)
Awe man! I wish I’d read this sooner, I would’ve loved to host a brunch in Mexico City for autostraddle… aka me and Caitlin (queer girl city guide mex city) … I believe it’s you and me girl, dassit!
Next time gadget!
Really Montreal, really?? :(
