EDH night in DC

Hey

Wanted to let ppl know that there's a queer Magic the Gathering / EDH night every other Wednesday at the Red Derby in Columbia Heights. It starts at 7pm and goes until everyone leaves. We meet all the way in the back! (Cuz gay, duh)

Wednesday nights at the Derby have $3 Miller Hi-Lifes and half-priced starters.

We have on average around 1.5 pods, but there's space for three. And it's happening tonight!

Power level tends to be pretty fluid, and I have all of the new starter commander decks for anyone interested in learning how to play.

Here's the FB event: https://fb.me/e/2dBhsD8wr?mibextid=N4tvPT

Not sure if this sub is still active, but if anyone else is playing WoW out there, especially Wrath Classic, would love to hear from you.

Pride Weekend Thread!

It's a little surreal thinking we'll be celebrating in-person this year--I suspect our organizing powers have waned a bit.

The parade starts at 3pm as usual in Dupont Circle. The current notional plan is brunch with small groups/organized on your own and then I think we'll all try to meet up and watch the majority of the parade together from a good spot. Open for more organizing ideas or if people want to host or help coordinate things--but our old standby of mass-convergence at Buffalo Billiards has turned into...a mini-golf place?! haha (I blame straight gentrification!)

Shout-out anything else you want to get up to or organize--happy to try to stake out places or help coordinate at venue if we want to shell out some cash. Looking forward to seeing y'all and having a well-earned celebratory drink (or pitcher) together!

(EDIT) Notional Schedule:

  • Brunch on your own/small groups (Noonish)
  • Player's Club (~2pm)
  • Parade watching / continued day-drinking (3pm until we can't stand it)
  • Choose your own adventure

I just want to recommend Betrayal at the House on the Hill as my favorite board game for one session. No campaign. Just a one shot. It's a great time even for d&d heads.

Well, it was a great time for me anyway.

Board Games at Red Bear

https://preview.redd.it/c9xmym64wus71.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5d5f1d01c1ccbb512208c904dd6084d379b9c86

Let's meet up and play some Halloween games (or whatever else you feel like bringing)!

Getting enough tables for a variable number of people is difficult, so the closer to the start time people show up, the easier it is to Tetris all of the gays together.

October 16 @ Noon until fail.

Gaming @ Red Bear!

A few folks are getting together for some board gaming and beers at the Red Bear Brewing Company right off the NoMa metro next Saturday the 10th at 1pm.

It's been a longggg time since we've been able to get together in-person really (no bar takeovers, no holiday party, no organized Pride), so the more the merrier. And especially if we have new folks who have moved to DC in the past year or so and been unable to come out and meet us--all are welcome!

Annual Gaymers/Gaggle/DCGB Holiday Party! -December 14th

https://preview.redd.it/3nw3sn2dhxx31.jpg?width=644&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=682ffa3c45e901a49177f50e5260d1e29b7d4059

The festivities start at 7 on Saturday, December 14, with the biggest White Elephant gift exchange you've ever been part of starts at 8, with our lovely Mr. Kiel hosting. Rules to follow!

Feel free to bring a drink to share and maybe some lovely holiday sweets to enjoy while, if history is any indication, swapping a bunch of sex toys and Golden Girls merchandise in an oddly aggressive manner.

EVENT: Bar Takeover 2019!

https://preview.redd.it/y5mxshs104p31.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4360e5005a063aff2125a4a795d498114450de3a

It's that time of year again: when we're all back from fun summer vacations all over the world and reconvening for another great year making DC just a bit more fabulous and a little less uptight together. And what better way to celebrate than with a full-on queer takeover of our adorable-yet-slightly-trashy-and-straight-curious neighborhood bar!

WHAT: Bar Takeover 2019

WHERE: Little Miss Whiskey's Golden Dollar, 1104 H Street NE

WHEN: Saturday night, October 5th, 7-10pm

WHO: You, your plus ones, and any other hangers-on who are LGBTQ+ or allies who love gaymes, good drinks, and fun times with great folks

We’re excited to announce a triumphant return of our very own Hashtag Trashly to preside over the festivities with her new mystery assistant known only to us as "Myrtle"...

We’re also encouraging folks to get a head start on your sluttiest (I mean that in the purest sense of the word 😇) Halloween costume as we’ll be doing giveaways for the best Pokémon inspired costumes! We’ll also entertain any other drag performances from the group if y’all want to give it a shot in a safe space.

There will be plenty of dancing, tasty drinks, face-painting, and amazing drag. Anything else you want us to consider? Shout it out!

We'll have the bar again for three full uninterrupted hours and be taking donations for SMYAL.org once more. So make plans to join us, bring a friend or make some new ones, and just generally have a good time in a safe space with great folks!

Can’t wait to see you in your finest Pokemonster Ball regalia 👾💅🙌🏼🎉🏳️‍🌈

Hear Ye Hear Ye! -It's Time Again for the Annual Gay Census

https://preview.redd.it/skdtn4nq28g31.png?width=1566&format=png&auto=webp&s=19d69f0dd10f33f141707f47f964871e4331d15c

Dear Gaymers/Gaggle Family, one of our very own from over in r/DCGB has been conducting an interesting "census" exercise each year and we're on our 5th year of collecting this data and analyzing it. We'd love for you to participate!

Follow the link here and fill out the form. It's all 100% voluntary, of course, and you shouldn't answer anything you aren't comfortable with. But the results are always interesting and the more responses we can get, the better the sample size and data set!

The survey will close August 23rd and the results forthcoming a few weeks after. Thanks for your help!

PS -For an example of what's done with this data, here are the results of the 4th Annual Census.

Annual River Float Trip!

Friends,

It's time again for the annual float trip down the river in Virginia! We're coordinating, as always, on Facebook. So PM or hit us up here or check the Facebook group (DCGB) if you're in it already. We need to finalize RSVPs and get deposits in over the next few days. The more the merrier!

Personally, I can say, this is a blast and lots of drunken, splashy fun (from what I can remember of most of it over the years!)

August 17th, ITINERARY:

  • 0900: Depart Mick's place in NE DC. We leave on time. He has your money but you don't have his mercy.
  • 0945: Around this time we'll hit Vienna/Fairfax Metro for our NoVA pickup - need to have at least 5 people at this pickup or it's not economical, so keep that in mind when booking.
  • 1100: Arrive Downriver!
  • 1130: In the water!
  • 1500: Out of water, back on the bus, 📷:(
  • 1630: Vienna/Fairfax dropoff, body dump
  • 1700: Back in DC

COST: $55/person, includes transport, tubes, and tips

Venmo to @Mickipedic to confirm

The rules and regulations will be... more robust this time around.

Pride Parade Pre-game Meetup and Dranks!

As is tradition, we'll all gather as a group at Buffalo Billiards on 19th Street at DuPont Circle Saturday afternoon at 1:30pm before the parade begins. Come for some good pre-gaming and then I'm sure a bigish group of us will find a place to watch the parade together. Then, as is also tradition, we'll all be hammered and wander off into the evening to further after parties and events. Remember to hydrate, you thirsty and adorable bitches.

Everyone is welcome, including +1s and especially doggos. Wear your glitter and Unicorn horns! <3

PS -This is when we take our annual yearbook photo, so #slay!

Finally, if you need ideas or deets on all the other stuff happening: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kdIOfooq-g-wvdQoZE1-gkFS5rL2kr46BxrEVbjSP04/edit?fbclid=IwAR3-pRKIlkLFh44-E4XgG4tN-Yfb_0iCk7Q6bnU0rwGY33IRu_D4wtNmXRM#gid=0

Annual Holiday Party! -December 15th

Mariah will cut a bitch. She don't play.

DC Gaymers Family,

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, the /r/DCGaymers and /r/DCGaybros Holiday party and Yankee Swap!

Join us Saturday, December 15th for drinks, food, and, if history is any indication, several rousing rounds of fighting over festive sex toys.

We start at 7 in NW DC (message the mods for the address if you want to come!), with the gift exchange starting at 8. Bring a drink to share, and no one ever says no to delicious holiday cookies. Plus ones (+1) and other allies/guests are most welcome, the more the merrier!

Hope to see y’all there.

Sincerely,

The Mod Teams

Not Going Home for the Holidays?

Fam, every year there's a decently sized group of us who don't go back to the hinterlands beyond the Beltway for the holidays and we throw a couple of parties. There's a small get together on for Thanksgiving, a HUGE bash of both the DCGaymers and DC Gaybros in early December, and then several small ones for actual Christmas/Hannukah. If you aren't leaving and would like a place for dinner and community, message the mods! Plenty of us stay around and host things which you're more than welcome to attend.

And keep an eye out for the Christmas party invite in the Facebook groups! EDIT: this is likely Saturday evening/night the 15th of December. Not to be missed!

Board Game Groups?

Are there any good board game groups? Ideally ones that are more social than "win at any cost."

Looking for someone with the new Soulcalibur to play with.

Hey DCGaymers,

I'm just looking for someone (or a group) who has a copy of Soulcalibur 6 to possibly play with. I'm a huge fan of the game series, but unfortunately I do not have either an Xbox One, nor a PS4. Instead, I am would be more than happy to play with someone or a group if they would be happy to share. If not, then that's okay and I hope you all have a great weekend. :)
