To register for the event, please buy your ticket on Eventbrite here. Tickets will then be $25 in advance, $30 the last three days and $35 day-of the event.

We will be using software that allows you to specify the age range and butch-femme preference of the women you’d like to meet. You’ll go on a series of mini-dates with those women, and you can choose whether you’d like to get to know them better afterwards as friends or dates. After the event, we’ll also host drinks so that you can continue to get to know each other in a low-key community environment.

Registration will be 7-7:30pm with the event starting at 7:30. The event will go to 10pm and we’ll have an intermission in the middle. While we encourage you to arrive during registration, latecomers are always welcome!
