Midsummer SoCal Meetup Planning Thread

Frosstbyte and Edgar Allan Hoe suggested we have a Southern California Avocado meetup in late July or early August. This thread is for planning that meetup. Where? The previous two meetups were in the L.A. Basin, so this time we were thinking of meeting in the San Fernando Valley. Another possibility is the San Gabriel Valley, because who can tell valleys apart? When? On a weekend between the 21st of July and the 5th of August. What? That’s up to you guys. Previous meetups were held at bars that had large selections of food and drink, and that seemed to … Continue reading Midsummer SoCal Meetup Planning Thread

Chicago Meetup: 12 April 2018

Hey folks! The “Paper Chase” Guy here. As I’ve been entirely too enthusiastic over pointing out in just about every regular thread I haunt, I’m going to be in Chicago from April 9th to the 13th, and am curious to meet Avocados and their kind in our shared universe’s spiritual home, so to speak. MrsLangdonAlger and I are meeting at Revival Dining Hall in the Loop at 6 pm on the 12th, and others are certainly welcome to join us. Shortish notice, I well understand, but if anyone else has any ideas for convivial locales to mingle and chat, too, … Continue reading Chicago Meetup: 12 April 2018

February 17th – Dinner and HUMP! Chicago Meetup

Dan Savage’s HUMP Festival is playing at the Music Box on this weekend. Tickets can be bought here: https://humpfilmfest.boldtypetickets.com. Please note that this is an ADULT movie screening: the HUMP festival features erotic/porn shorts submitted by non-professionals in a variety of situations and with a huge variety of tones, from hilarious to dead serious. It’s a lot of fun! We’ll go to the 7pm screening together on Saturday, February 17th, and meet up for an early dinner first, probably as early as 4 so we can get to the Music Box by 6:30 for good seats. The dinner spot has not yet … Continue reading February 17th – Dinner and HUMP! Chicago Meetup

San Diego Meet Up – December 28 or 29?

Hello San Diego and San Diego adjacent Avocados. I’ll be visiting my home town over the holidays and Paulie Almonds and I have discussed a meet up during that week. Paulie suggested meeting at False Idol, a pretty cool looking Tiki bar. I’m all for that. With my schedule that week, I was hoping for the evening of the 28th or the 29th if necessary (I’m flying home the next morning). For now I’d like to see who’s interested and what day and/or time works best for people. I hope to meet a bunch of you! Continue reading San Diego Meet Up – December 28 or 29?

Chicavo Meetup – Feb 17th 2018

It’s been ages since we’ve had a Chicavo meetup, and what better time to have one than in the (likely) freezing wasteland of February? As problematic as Dan Savage can be, the HUMP film festival is always a good time. HUMP is a festival of homemade porn and erotica. The short films are ONLY shown at these screenings so you’d be part of a small group having the privilege of viewing them. The screening is 90 minutes long and always varies from uproariously funny to disturbing to just downright interesting. We will go to the Saturday, Feb 17th 7pm screening … Continue reading Chicavo Meetup – Feb 17th 2018
