Gaymers is an inclusive community for LGBT and straight alliance redditors. We host frequent voice and/or video chat nights, regularly play multi-player games together, talk about how totally rugged David Hayter is, how sexy Samus is in her zero suit, talk about how we love big wii sessions, and playing with an xbox all night long.

Please, no Gaymers cider. Seriously. ಠ_ಠ

[–]digitalsciguyBritish Lawnmower Fight Club 6 points7 points ago

I am working up plans to join from Boston and would like to volunteer myself as Regional Transport Coordinator. d( ^ _ ^ )b

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 2 points3 points ago

Beautiful, you are now the Transport Coordinator! I'll put you down on the spreadsheet. I'm going to have a Captain meeting in about a week once everything is settled (for captains) and then we can talk about stuff blah blah blah.

Feel free to take the initiative and start working to help people figure out options. There is a second tab on the spreadsheet for people to start figuring out signups for driving, etc. As Transport Captain you now own this. ;-)

Your primary job is to help people help each other get here. Meaning setup carpooling points, etc. If you don't want to do that I understand just let me know. But look through the main spreadsheet and and look at who is who. If someone is coming from IA or MI or wherever contact them and see if they are willing to coordinate driving and have a checkpoint to pick up and drop off people, etc.

I'm sure more stuff will come up but for now does that work?

BTW, thanks for volunteering Captain!

[–]Shkn-N-StirdMachete Squad Leader 1 point2 points ago

He is by far the greatest navigator I have seen, and would vote for him. I would have been lost in New York without him there to be the guide.

[–]Shkn-N-StirdMachete Squad Leader 7 points8 points ago

[FTW] Ok, here goes. I want to come to the 'meatup', because overall, I am a nice guy and nice guys needs to finish first once in a while. As far as gayming skills go, I am pretty comfortable in most consoles. leaving me open to play with anyone. I am willing to volunteer my services to be the laundry or dish captain... or wherever I would be needed. I can also be helpful in many ways. ;)

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 2 points3 points ago

You win. PM me with your details (phone, etc.) and we can get your flight arranged.

[–]Shkn-N-StirdMachete Squad Leader 2 points3 points ago

Shocked, stunned, speechless, flabbergasted, and many more words that I am unable to think of right now.

Thank you. This means a lot to me.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 2 points3 points ago

Check your email as your flight details are on the way. Welcome to Chicago. I can't wait to meet you in person.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 2 points3 points ago

BTW, make sure you add yourself to the spreadsheet so Piper can work on housing and others know you are coming.

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 2 points3 points ago

I'm so happy this is all coming together! As your Adventure Captain, I'll do my best to have several options so that you picky bitchy gaymers can have a choice of what and where you want to go. I'm definitely open for recommendations and suggestions, so let me know if there's somewhere you think is fun.

Back to Adventure! (if you get this reference, I'll give you a lapdance during the meetup ;-)

Oh, and just an FYI: I will be wearing less and less clothing as the weekend drags on. This is more of a comfort thing, but also per Jasenlee's request.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 2 points3 points ago

When I think of you as our Adventure Captain this song comes to mind.

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 1 point2 points ago

Haha, not going to lie - someone's showing their age ;-) . but I like my men older anyway

I think this is more appropriate.

[–]The_Wily_Curmudgeon 0 points1 point ago

Also, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. I CALL YOUR LAPDANCE. :D

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 0 points1 point ago

Ooh, so close, but the suitcase in Superstar Saga doesn't talk or use the catchphrase "Back to Adventure!".

I'll give you a consolation grind...or you can try again :P

[–]The_Wily_Curmudgeon 0 points1 point ago

Did I say Superstar Saga? v_vll I meant Partners in Time. The suitcase's name is something like Stuffwell, right? (Hehe, "stuff well")

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 1 point2 points ago

Haha. I guess I owe you a lapdance now.

And yes, his name is Stuffwell. I never thought about it until now, but I can totally identify with his name >_>

[–]MisterGhost0c 2 points3 points ago

So a plane ticket you tell me of....here.

[–]bry4n 3 points4 points ago

[FTW] can i nominate misterghost and labYrinthineal?

mrG's the gaia of r\gaymers, and labYrinthineal got an r\gaymers shout-out with george takei.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

I decided two people get tickets and misterghost wins as well. I'll contact him.

[–]bry4n 1 point2 points ago

i got that meatup some misterghost.

meatups love misterghost.

[–]Brownian_motion 3 points4 points ago

Wow this looks incredibly organized and awesome. I just read through the meatup guide..and...uh..I want to go to there!

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

Then come!

[–]Brownian_motion 1 point2 points ago

I'm too far away--in Canada! Although it is a few days before my "spring break" starts...

[–]thisispiperA Pan Dimensional Space Bear 2 points3 points ago*

[FTW] I would love to come to this meetup. I would love to meet many Midwestern Gaymers, add a bit of female to the mix of things. I would be willing to be one of the captains who has to coordinate details and help with some aspect of the planing. Whether it be carpooling or anything that's needed. I want to meet other awesome Gaymers and have fun gaming!

thisispiper

[–]LoggieMore Rainbow Flavored in Meatspace 2 points3 points ago

I agree. There need to be more lady gaymers. Also, being so small, she should be easy to accommodate. Just through a blanket in a cupboard or something.

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 0 points1 point ago

It would be awesome if you could come! Be sure to add yourself to the RSVP Spreadsheet.

[–]CyDenied 3 points4 points ago

Will there be a stairwell to boink in, as is tradition of Chicago reddit meetups?

[–]polor02 2 points3 points ago

I seriously hope you'll be doing this again in 2 years when I'm of age! This likes soooo amazing.

[–]noggs 2 points3 points ago

This looks great! Although, I have to admit, there was quite a bit of smiling and blushing while reading the guide.

[–]MaybeJustMaayybe 2 points3 points ago

Yeah? How about the bi-curiousmers? We cool?

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 3 points4 points ago

More than cool. Please come. Everyone is welcome!

[–]MaybeJustMaayybe 1 point2 points ago

Well. If you think Mario Kart 64 will happen: I'm in.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 3 points4 points ago

It'll happen if you make it happen. It did last time. It was pretty fucking funny when we had no audio so a gaggle of gaymers just started chiming in making all the Mario Kart sounds we needed to keep the game going.

Talk to the gayming captains and the AV captain if you want to definitely ensure it happens.

[–]fluidmsc 2 points3 points ago

I'd help out as food captain. I also want to point out that despite the limited fridge space, cars parked outside will likely be the right temperature for storing most food.

With all the gaymers signed up this is bound to be a chaotic, so thanks for being so organized!

[–]whodatagain 2 points3 points ago

So I just stumbled on this. I'm a gay gamer in the burbs. But nervous cause I don't know anyone...

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 2 points3 points ago

If you're anywhere around DuPage County, then take comfort that there's another gaymer in the midst.

[–]whodatagain 1 point2 points ago

I'm in Cook county. Southwest burbs.

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 1 point2 points ago*

That's close enough. Come and meet other gaymers! I can assure you the majority of the people (aside from those that came for the last meetup) will not know anyone beforehand.

[–]whodatagain 1 point2 points ago

Is there any kind of thread for Chicago gaymers specifically? I'd like to talk and get to know peeps before I meet em.

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 0 points1 point ago

None that I know of that are still active. This one would be your best bet because it's now stickied on the banner of this subreddit. I bet as the meetup date nears, we'll get more conversation.

And feel free to PM me if you have any questions about this meetup (or the last one) or just want to talk.

[–]killbrad 0 points1 point ago

Check the IRC chatroom - there are usually a bunch of us there.

[–]LoggieMore Rainbow Flavored in Meatspace 2 points3 points ago

pop on mumble and meet some peeps.

[–]whodatagain 1 point2 points ago

Mumble? Call me clueless....

[–]LoggieMore Rainbow Flavored in Meatspace 1 point2 points ago

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

Don't be nervous. A lot of us don't know each other. It's a fun crowd. I can imagine there is a little anxiety sometimes but you'll make new friends and I'm certain you'll enjoy yourself.

[–]MaybeJustMaayybe 1 point2 points ago

You and me both; I'm not even from Chicago, but this still sounds like a solid time.

[–]Jeebus89Forbidden Doughnut 1 point2 points ago*

Reads: This post is four days old....

HOW DID I MISS THIS!?!

EDIT: I see the role of door captain hasn't been filled, still looking?

[–]OtterJayOrally Talented 1 point2 points ago

I've told Jason that I'd be Door Captain as long as I have someone to rotate with throughout the evening. :-D Interested?

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

Piper is going to rotate with you and probably others. I haven't made any updates because I've been a lazy bitch and tired as hell as I've been out of town for awhile. I'll update some shit tomorrow. Anyway, I'm going to get some others to rotate with you and Piper so it isn't a pain in the ass. We might need a second door captain shift for the other place but I'll work that out later so it's not a bitch to deal with.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 0 points1 point ago

We will need extra help to work the door on Saturday for the Attic Party. Are you still interested? If so please PM me OtterJay and thisispiper so we can coordinate.

[–]Jeebus89Forbidden Doughnut 1 point2 points ago

Absolutely, I will message them both to run a shift!

[–]carridin 2 points3 points ago

You've already put so much effort into this! It's mindblowing. Gracious thanks.

[–]xavier_manifestNeon Glowstick Overdrive 1 point2 points ago*

Are there any leader positions left? I would be more than happy to fill any vacancies. Also is there going to be any trips to the city to see the sights and stuff like that? I've only been there once and it was just passing through so I'm curious to see the sights and such.

Also, if anyone is going from Ohio and is driving, I would be more than happy to keep you company on the drive over and drive back!

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 0 points1 point ago

You'll have to check with jasenlee about the available captain positions, but I'm sure he can always use more help. And yes, there will be trips informally planned around the city. These will mostly be excursions that small parties can go together depending on interest rather than us going as 1 giant group. And if there's anything in particular you want to visit, just let me or anyone else from Chicago know and we can try to make a trip out of it.

-Your Adventure Captain

[–]Ditakilube fairy wannabe 1 point2 points ago

[FTW]

I am nominating our good friend shortbushero for the free ticket to the Chicago gaymers meatup.

In short, shortbus (see what I did there?) is one of the coolest people I've met on gaymers. He's always been ready to help anyone who needs some support and is always ready to drop stuff to make someone feel better. He's loads of fun, is far too good at Magicka, and is (so I've heard) a blast in person as well. He also could use a vacation.

In addition, he's Asian (and you always need more Asians), is crazy intelligent (I won't say particulars, but let's just say he does math and science stuff that makes my head spin), and is also small enough that he won't take up much space.

To conclude, shortbus is awesome, and should be with awesome people. Like the whole gaymers meat-up. I can provide references upon request. Also bribes. Happy bribes.

[–]DForteThrowawayNOT an Obese Jellyfish 1 point2 points ago

[FTW] I'm Preggers. Bring it.

[–]thisispiperA Pan Dimensional Space Bear 2 points3 points ago

Here is a chart of where all the gaymers going to this meet up are from http://imgur.com/qIEPU

[–]Vespasianus 1 point2 points ago*

[FTW] I don't know if I can do this but I also want to nominate Digitalsciguy. Because he's awesome and he can entertain people by telling them the model and make of all the Chicago metro trains as you ride them.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 0 points1 point ago

DigitalSciGuy is already coming. He is the Transport Captain.

[–]Vespasianus -1 points0 points ago

Yes, but he is paying for his flight currently.

[–]todwod 1 point2 points ago

What kind of gaming? PC? Xbox? Wii? PS3? All of the above? I used to be a big time gamer years ago. I want to get back into the scene but I now lack the consoles to do so. I'm new to the area and I would like to come on down, check it out, and meet some fellow gamers. One thing I'm wondering about, is the parking situation. Is it going to cost a lot and will there be enough?

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

What kind of gaming? PC? Xbox? Wii? PS3? All of the above?

All of the above.

One thing I'm wondering about, is the parking situation. Is it going to cost a lot and will there be enough?

Parking is fairly easy on my street without a permit but that might change with the amount of gaymers coming. For the other events there is parking at a lot of different spots but it will depend on what you are going to.

I'm new to the area

You should definitely come then. Gaymers are nice people. Really we are. I don't know what makes us double special but it's true in my opinion. We like to socialize, flirt, play games and just have fun. You'll likely make a lot of new friends and meet like minded individuals. If you want to check out more take a look at the guide and signup sheet.

[–]todwod 0 points1 point ago

I can't make it. I was signee #77. I deleted my name and all that. Maybe some other time.

[–]planification 2 points3 points ago

Could you guys put some info on HIVvy testing into the guide? Some gaymers may be closeted, and this is the best opportunity to get tested for them with all the resources Chicago has.

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 2 points3 points ago

This is a great idea. I will talk to jasenlee about that.

[–]killbrad 0 points1 point ago

I think if we call up Center on Halsted and say 'hey we have a bunch of peeps that were wondering if we could get free testing on saturday (or whatever)" they might be willing to help out.

[–]inari87 0 points1 point ago

Very late to the game here, but I work at COH and this is worth exploring.

[–]collegedreads 2 points3 points ago

So. Frickin. Excited.

[–]LiquidSnape 1 point2 points ago

I want to add to those planing on going to Boystown tonight Sharon Needles and Phi Phi O'Hara will be performing and Spin I cannot wait to meet you all

[–]todwod 1 point2 points ago

You dressing up too? I would imagine you would kill it as Barbara =)

[–]Artemecion 1 point2 points ago

Wait, I haven't been around lately. How many people are showing up compared to last time?

(Also whoa, this is planned out as fuck. I'm already pumped. Thanks a ton for everything, seriously.)

[–]LulzAndHappinessGrand Nipple Inquisitor 2 points3 points ago

Are you coming? I thought you were on the west coast. We need your space channel fabulousness.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah... like Lulz said.... what up? Are you coming? If you do I'll reserve the spot under the table for you. I might even make a little MLP rainbow sign letting everyone else know to stay the fuck back because that's your reserved sleeping den. Hope you can make it but if not I understand handsome.

[–]Artemecion 1 point2 points ago

Haha, I'm planning on coming. Landed myself a job as a barista, so I /should/ have enough cash by Feb to pop up there for a weekend. Put me down as a 'most likely'~.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

Glad to hear you are coming and congrats on the new job. Add yourself over here even if it is "most likely". I want to try and keep a good headcount.

[–]Artemecion 1 point2 points ago

On it, cap'n! salutes

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

How many people are showing up compared to last time?

There are like 50 on the spreadsheet and a good handful of +1's. I haven't taken the time to tally who is coming on what days/nights or events.

[–]is_not_toastCertainly Not Bread 1 point2 points ago

Can't wait!!

[–]mijobellSlater 1 point2 points ago

I know I said I was contemplating maybe coming but I have to teach that weekend and I just realized I have to start paying back loans so it would not be smart to get a sub.

But I am sure your gonna have another one.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 2 points3 points ago

so it would not be smart to get a sub.

I'm sure you could find at least a half dozen couple dozen free ones at the party.

[–]Allangille 0 points1 point ago

[FTW] I want to come because XYZ, la la la…. XD

Hey! I really would like to get the free ticket, I really can't say that I deserve it more than any other, but I would really appreciate the opportunity to see Chicago (I haven't been there before.) Also I'm Canadian! That being said I'm a little crazy as you know from mumble. Hmm... Also I can't say the rest of it in English so I will have to say it in Canadian: Oot and aboot to the hockey rink with the other lumberjacks and their plaid jackets eh? Now even though that sounds like I was talking about hockey and lumberjacks it was actually a logical and well articulated argument on the finer reasons why I should be allowed to come to Chicago for free. Also concise.

[–]Brownian_motion 1 point2 points ago

Are you going? I am thinking of going (Toronto gaymer here!)

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

I guess they are going to be sad you couldn't make Startup Weekend because of this but I'm sure they'll understand. ;-)

[–]LiquidSnape 1 point2 points ago

Kane County; Elgin Area here, I might be able to come one day or night

[–]BigPeteB 1 point2 points ago

Holy hell, that's a lot of people signed up! Now I'm contemplating flying up from Georgia so I can meet people (I'm still a reddit and /r/gaymers noob) and have fun and not miss out on what looks like will be a good time.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 0 points1 point ago

GaybBaby is looking at coming up from Georgia. If you are closer to settling on a choice you might want to see about some level of coordination in travel efforts.

[–]whodatagain 1 point2 points ago

Jasen, I just read that massive tome you put together about information for the get together. Great job! You've put a lot of work into this! Still not sure if I'll be attending (I feel like I may be older than the average attendee)...but I'm trying to get my lesbian gaming sister to come too. I know that there aren't many lesbians who attended last time. Anyone know if that's changing this time?

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 0 points1 point ago

I never really got back to you on this one. I'm not sure how many lesbian gaymers are coming this time but just know this. Despite the inevitable sausage fest you are coming into a pretty welcoming environment. Everyone just wants to meet new people, have fun, socialize, etc.

The average gaymer age seems to be like mid-twenties or so but don't let that be a barrier. Everyone is friendly.

[–]whodatagain 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the reply. I think that we will probably come, at least for one day.

[–]wookymonster 0 points1 point ago

Holy canole, Batman, the attendance list has exploded! I flaked out on the last meatup due to a schedule conflict so I'm mega stoked to be able to make it to the 2012 gathering. Thanks again to the coordinators for putting this together :0)

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

Thanks again to the coordinators for putting this together :0)

Thanks for recognizing that. A lot of the Captains are doing background shit most people aren't seeing. I didn't think we would have this many people so I knew right away I would need help. If it was this many people on a single night and didn't involve things like outside adventures, multiple days, sleepovers, etc I could probably swing it but it's not. So without the help of the Captains I'd be fucked. They are doing a ton of shit in the background for everyone and I can't thank them enough.

[–]UntitleddreamerSpace Opera 1 point2 points ago

[FTW] So will go if I win, haha.

[–]m00sician 1 point2 points ago

how expensive is a flight from germany to chicago? :)

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'm guessing 1,000 euros at least but I haven't looked.

[–]m00sician 1 point2 points ago*

Guess I'll go and pleasure some elderly rich men so I can afford that.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 0 points1 point ago

Well get to it then. Your young arms should be strong from lots of gaming. I'm certain you know the correct motions.

[–]jgouge996 1 point2 points ago

So... I'm a local, and I'd love to come, but I honestly don't know what my schedule's going to look like that weekend. Should I RSVP anyway, or wait until I know what's going to happen? Also: Hi, everyone! I didn't know this was a thing. This is awesome.

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 2 points3 points ago*

What could you possibly have going on that weekend that is more fun than this?

Right now I'm using my mind powers to do this to your super busy schedule for that weekend.

You can thank me now because this is going to be your life after coming to the gaymer meatup.

Oh... you want to give me a trophy? That's okay, you don't have to. Name your first born after me? No need... it's been done fifty times before. Carve my face into a mountain? Okay, you can do that. Just make sure you get my good side.

[–]jgouge996 2 points3 points ago

OH MY GOD SIGN ME UP

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 1 point2 points ago

Sign yourself up here.

[–]jgouge996 0 points1 point ago

No, but seriously, my work schedule isn't regular, so I won't know until a couple weeks out whether I can come. And if I can, which days and what times, etc. Suggestions?

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 0 points1 point ago

Suggestions?

Come when you can and don't when you can't. If you check the full schedule (linked at the top of this post in the guide) you'll see different times for different events which may work for you. If you can come we'd enjoy your company but if not we understand.

[–]Sinkingfast[!] 1 point2 points ago

I had lived in Chicago all my life. I moved to Florida two years ago. I wish I still currently lived in Chicago.

For those attending: I hope it is ridiculously fun!

[–]mmurph 0 points1 point ago

This is mighty impressive. Unfortunately I can't make it this time around :( but if another huge meatup like this is planned in the future I'd def be in. Best of luck and have fun!

[–]ChernobylGypsy 0 points1 point ago

Blargh. If only I was eighteen. D:

Eight months to go.

[–]MCMikeNamara 1 point2 points ago

I suppose I can't ever say again that I don't know how to meet new gay guys in Chicago except for sex if I don't try to attend this, huh?

But seriously, after a crazy January, I found this written in pencil upcoming on my calendar so I decided to come over to Reddit to check out what the plans were. (Yes, I'm not a regular Redditor; please don't hold that against me.) And just wow -- this is really impressive.

We're dealing with some health issues in my house (not mine) so I wasn't sure I'd be able to attend, but I've been given the thumbs up (which may or may not have been the 'get out of the house for some fun and stop smothering me') so I added myself to the RSVP list. I'm very local if I understand where jasenlee lives correctly so if there's anything I can do to assist, please let me know. (Sorry, can't host any other last minute stragglers.)

[–]Aargonaut 0 points1 point ago

Sucks to be 16!

[–]nazgul_hunter 1 point2 points ago

Only a few days. I'm really looking forward to meeting you all

[–]thisispiperA Pan Dimensional Space Bear 1 point2 points ago

I can't wait for this. I am at work trying to study for an exam and all I can think about is this weekend!

[–]thetorqueweasel 0 points1 point ago

Did I RSVP too late?

[–]jasenleeLady Remmington Dutchess of Yorkshire[S] 0 points1 point ago

No you are fine as long as you don't need housing.

[–]thetorqueweasel 0 points1 point ago

Ok thanks, are you emailing ur address later then?

[–]todwod 0 points1 point ago

Extremely last minute, but I will come now. Crap went down this afternoon at my house and I need to get away for a day or two. I'm asking for the impossible, but is there a way I can stay somewhere? If not, then that will be fine. I have some 360 controllers...should I bring them? Let me know soon. I'm gonna do some house work and be on my way down.

[–]scott2chicago 1 point2 points ago

I have a couch which you are welcome to. I'll message you more info.

[–]Vespasianus 1 point2 points ago

[FTW] Hello there! This is Zach. I wouldn't say I'm more deserving of the trip to Chicago, but would be delighted if you chose me!

Background: 22 y.o. Boston Gaymer (the last meet-up was at my place). Been to Chicago many years ago and only for a day. I'm from the Netherlands and will be moving back this summer so will not have a chance to see Chicago (or many other US cities) for many years. I'm also excited at the prospect of meeting many of the lovely Chicago Gaymers, some of whom I've spoken to on Tinychat.

I am very friendly and engaging and equipped with a European sense of humour (read: sarcastic). I also would be happy to pay at least some of my trip in the way of booze.

Here is a photo of me pouting taken just now at work.

P.S. I am free that Friday, Saturday and Sunday but can also take a day or so off from work. Also, lozenge rhymes with Orange if you pronounce it the way I do.

[–]rolontloss 1 point2 points ago

Any Cleveland, Ohio gaymers going up?

[–]bamboocup 0 points1 point ago

I'm from Cincy, and I'm going, but I'm taking the Megabus.
