Baltimore Butch Femme Social group

pinkajl · 09-12-2011, 08:59 AM

Join us this Saturday, September 17 for the Baltimore Butch-Femme monthly night out at Sappho's Ladies' Lounge, located above Grand Central at the corner of Eager & N Charles Street in Baltimore.

Sappho's opens up its upstairs bar especially for our group from 7:00-9:00pm. Come early and enjoy the quieter atmosphere with Baltimore's best butches and femmes.

This month, we have 2 "extras" we're hosting at Sappho's.

1- Bring your cigars and relax on the deck for some butch bonding and femme mingling. Smoke curious? We'll have some extras for sale, in case you want to try your hand with a cigar - or in case you've forgotten yours at home.

2- Bring your old DVDs to trade or swap. From 7:00 - 7:45, we'll set up a table where you can drop off your old movies. For each movie you bring in, you'll get a ticket which you can use to swap for a "new" movie. Or, buy the movie for $5 and we'll donate the money to charity.

We'll be clearing out the remaining DVDs by 8:00pm. If you don't gather up your leftover movies, we'll box up whatever is remaining on the table and also donate them to a charity the following week.

Can't make this month? Mark your calendar so you can join us at Sappho's on Saturday, October 29 for our costume party.

We warmly welcome all butches and femmes - stone, soft, high, queer - as well as those on the trans spectrum. We embrace all identities falling within the butch-femme spectrum, with the wish to build a caring and safe community. Our group is composed of people between the ages of 20-something to 60-something, from a variety of different backgrounds.

We will be there and are looking forward to it!

It will be great to see you, again, and to hear about your trip.

OS Butch · 09-12-2011, 10:27 PM

Well, I am thinking about crossing the river to attend. I don't know the area, how is parking? Garage/ street?

pinkajl · 09-13-2011, 07:02 AM

Sappho's is located in the Mt. Vernon area of Baltimore, which is thought of as the gay-neighborhood. Sappho's is right above Grand Central, a gay bar and night club, at the corner of North Charles Street and Eager Street. If you know where The Hippo is, Sappho's is diagonally across the street. It's a few miles up from the Inner Harbor.

Since we meet at 7:00pm, you can generally find parking on Charles St. As you head north, Charles St will divide around the Washington Monument starting at Centre St. When the lanes come back together at, you can begin to look for on street parking, since you'll be at 2-3 blocks south of Sappho's.

Or, you can pay to park in the open-air, attended parking lot right at the corner of Eager and Charles.

We hope to see you, OSB.

I have only been to the Hippo once, several years ago for the Dash Bash... I had on blue bunny ears..I don't remember where it is located. I wish I could forget the bunny ear incident!

Thank you very much. I will right it down on my calender. I hope to make it this month. I definitely need social activities!

pinkajl · 09-16-2011, 07:00 AM

OSB,

I would encourage you to look at google maps, as my navigational skills tend to be one of my weakest areas. However, when you're driving up North Charles Street from the Inner Harbor, it's a one-way street. At Centre Street, the road splits and travels around the Washington Monument and these 2 block-long "parks" in the center of the roadway. Charles Street rejoins at either Madison or Monument Street and continues northbound normally. Once Charles Street rejoins, Sappho's will be on the right side of the road 2 or 3 blocks further up. It really is quite simple, once you can get on North Charles.

If you make it, which we hope you do, don't forget to bring your cigars (if you smoke) for time out on the terrace; and your old DVD movies for the swap.

You should come!! Cross that nasty river and come to Maryland, also known as Happyland.

We parked right in front of bar last month, no problem at all.

Ok, I will do my best. It will be great to meet new folks. Being retired, I don't get much social contact, especially with my community!

Red Dirt Girl · 09-15-2011, 01:43 PM

Yeah. I don't really think of VA as being a very b/f, or even just plain old gay, friendly place. I used to live in Alexandria but the only thing I liked about it was the little marina at Dyke Marsh. (Teehee, it really is called Dyke Marsh. One more reason to love it!)

OH MAN! So are we actually doing the Halloween costume themed party?! o.o I'm so excited now. ^_^

pinkajl · 09-15-2011, 06:09 AM

Well, you asked, AD, so why not?

Also, for those who might not have read back in the thread, we have a facebook group that you can join. Since it's a closed group, just be sure to let me know your BFP username and I'll add you.
http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/groups/BaltimoreBF/

Same goes for our yahoogroup. Not everyone is on FB, so we created the email list, also. If you send me a PM with your personal email address, I'll add you. The yahoogroup has a calendar and includes details about events other than Sappho's.

Pink.
