Central & Western Massachusetts Queers
 

Hiya.

Pisceanstar and I are recent transplants to the outskirts of Pioneer Valley. We were both previous New England gals but never inhabiting this part of the region. Either way, we are over-the-moon to be home. I understand we have a fairly good group of butch-femme family in the area and I thought maybe we could plan a get together? Maybe not this year but the beginning of next? There are a few of you I know I'll be meeting before then but thought I'd throw this out there as well. I feel so blessed to be back in a state that I love, with the lady I adore and so many amazing folks close by. Let me know what you think... And while this thread is now open, it can be a great place for us to check in and just say hello.

Most fondly,
Amanda
(New Salem, Ma)

Post script: though titled central and western Mass, all local (ish) folks are welcome!!

So happy you're both back!

I'm happy to help organize something; probably in the new year though as its all down hill to the holidays from here (and end of year deadlines at work, for me).

Or perhaps a more informal pre-holiday get together? A little shopping and some food/drinks in Noho?

Here I was thinking to myself, "OH! This could be fun have a good reason to go explore more of Mass! :eyebat: " and then I look at where New Salem is and see that it's less than an hour from where I am..

But I would love to meet more people!


:byebye:

Hey,

My location is around the Hadley/Sunderland area, Heavenleah. I'm always up for meeting people.

OH wow! I love New Salem! Great Quabbin hiking up that way....the old town center is so picture perfect.... I bring people through there as we're passing by just for them to see it..... :) We are in Warren Ma btw. Which is near Ware for those who never heard of it...lol I work in Amherst so I'm all over the place.... :)
Welcome neighbors! :)

Hi all!

I finally decided to post to the forum. I too am from the area (Shutesbury). My partner and I would love to know all the goings on in the valley. Anybody been the Rocket Queer at the Voo in Turners?

OO, I want to go, but I am not that localish .. but... Stranger things have happened...

I do believe that Rocket Queer is this weekend and there is also the Naughty or Nice Tea party in Northampton!

I dont know how I live here and don't know about the goings on in our community!!

:blink:

I love Rockit Queer!

It's such a fun night out dancing and the Voo is really laid back and has a nice energy. I've not been since they changed up the DJs; in fact it's been *forever* since I've gone because Turners is just far enough away to make it a bit of a hike for me. Not a bad drive if you're that side of the river though.

Is the tea party at the Hotel Northampton?


/clearly way out of the loop.

Naughty or Nice you say ... Has possibilities ;)

Okay guys and dolls here is what I found about it on Facebook

A fundraiser for the LGBT Coalition of Western MA.

Something new...
 

Thank you for this! I joined! :)

Spread the word!
 

Yeah, that is so awesome. Will be chatting up the meetup soon, perhaps even a facebook page.

I haven't been on their website in a long time. I know that I volunteered for them about three years ago when they did a Mardi Gras theme party. From what I was told, there was a big split in the Noho Pride Committee and the Coalition was formed as a way of being more "financially" secure. But that is just hearsay.

Bumping the thread for some new peeps from the area.... welcome! :)

Cinnamongrrl was kind enough to inform me of this thread. Just giving a quick hi to my fellow Western MA people.

So, hello from Springfield :)

Welcome welcome welcome IwasaNinja and other new members from WMA!

If you can include this NY girl, yes please!

This is tomorrow, yes? Early pride! I'll be down in the NYC area tomorrow. Have fun :)
