Now, with brunch just around the riverbend, I’m here to help you find your fellow Autostraddle readers around the world – and maybe even a great Bloody Mary.

  4. ok this is pretty unlikely but I just moved to Zürich, Switzerland a couple weeks ago and if there are any straddlers at all in this country (really it’s not that big) then I want to have brunch with you if you exist??

    • Yes we exist! I am also based in Geneva and we are mostly expats of course… but we are here, queer etc etc. I’m off on holiday myself this week (San Francisco, get ready for me!) but I can probably send you to at least one lovely person I know in Zurich… and I’m sure the Geneva crowd would be happy to welcome you to the French corner of Switzerland for brunching!

  28. I know we’re late to the game but the Autostraddle Austin group is having a kayaking/picnic brunch Sunday August 24th. There’s a kayaking place off of the new Riverside walkway, east of I-35, on a big grassy hill which is beautiful and looks out on the water and not very crowded. Join the Austin Autostraddle group to get an invite to the event, or message me with any questions: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1444738005794682/

  31. Hmmmmmmm.

    Is there a way to contact the organizer of a meetup that isn’t via facebook? It seems awkward (well, “terrifying” is actually the accurate word, probably) to simply show up for a meetup. But I don’t use facebook (this geek distrusts those geeks sort of thing).

  32. All right, Dublin straddlers! It hasn’t made it onto the events calendar yet, but here’s what I’m thinking:

    Dublin brunch!
    Saturday, August 23 10 AM
    Brother Hubbard café
    153 Capel St, Dublin 1

    If you’re interested in coming, I’d appreciate it if you could message me!
