RAINBOW FISH #2: Another L.A.-Area Queer Mixer for the Rest of Us!

We’re sorry to report that the venue of our first mixer, Echo Country Outpost, is temporarily down for the count—but RAINBOW FISH isn’t: we’re moving to the Gal Palace at 131 S. Rampart Boulevard (which, regardless of its name, is inclusive of ALL GENDERS, WE PROMISE! ♥♥♥) and turning this shindig into a down-home affair. Thus… new in town and clueless about where to find queer community? Old in town and sick of how limited your opportunities are to meet new people? Desperate for some alternative to the WeHo party scene? Or maybe you just want to chill in a safe space on a beautiful Sunday afternoon/evening in Los Angeles? Welcome (back!) to RAINBOW FISH, an ultra-inclusive LGBTQIA+ mixer! --OKAY, HERE’S THE DEAL-- ► ► TIME: 5-10pm (yes, really!) ► ► COVER: $5 donation (all ages) ► ► "HELLO, MY PRONOUN IS" STICKERS AT THE DOOR! (like these:http://pi-ratical.tumblr.com/post/71437998564/i-am-really-extremely-amazingly-excited-to) Projected activities and fun times include: ► ► SPEED MINGLING: speed dating without the pressure of romantic/sexual expectations. Make new friends in five minutes flat! ► ► SWING DANCE LESSONS: if enough people express interest, our beautiful and wondrous househost Effie Ralli will teach you how to rock-step! ► ► OPEN MIC: we loved your poetry and music so much that we want y’all to bring it on back for round two! ► ► GAMES ‘N’ WHATNOT: get your Cards Against Humanity on with your brand-new friends, if you so choose! A WORD ABOUT OUR SAFER-SPACE POLICY: This event is meant to provide a safer space in which for folks in Los Angeles across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum to be themselves. Whether you are there to flirt, network, make friends, or just hang out and mingle, please do not assume anything about anyone’s gender identity, sexuality, or intention for being in this space. While this event is BYOB, please respect that Rainbow Fish is not meant as a party-heavy atmosphere. ABOUT YOUR LESBIYENTA: my name is Keely Marina Weiss, and I’m a white, cis, able-bodied, neurotypical queer gal. I try my best to be as considerate of everyone’s needs as possible, but if I fuck up please don’t hesitate to tell me so I can make sure to do better—I want RAINBOW FISH to be a safe environment! IF YOU HAVE ANY INQUIRIES--about cost/accessibility, wanting to play music or DJ at any future mixers, ideas for other events, or anything else--please feel free to message me on Facebook or email me at keely.weiss@gmail.com!
