If you're not a gaymer, you're welcome too, don't be shy!
We do most of our organizing via a Secret Facebook Group: Join Us! (Note: You'll have to add one of the mods as a friend first and then be added to the group.)

Looking for some snap and gaymer friends around my age (33). Currently live in marykand from Oklahoma. Hit me up
anyone else pre-download? Lookin for people to play it with soon (I think it’s multiplayer)
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.
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:
Well, it was a great time for me anyway.
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.

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!
16 and up add on snap for gaymer tag

From the hosts: Happy holidays, all my favorite gays! Tis the season for festivities and fun with friends and family! Please join us to celebrate this lovely time of year at the annual DCGB/Gaggle White Elephant XXXmas Blowout!
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.
Hope to see all y'all there!
~~PM the Mods for additional details and the address upon RSVP.
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 👾💅🙌🏼🎉🏳️🌈
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.
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:
COST: $55/person, includes transport, tubes, and tips
Venmo to @Mickipedic to confirm
The rules and regulations will be... more robust this time around.
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
My beloved Dallas Cowboys, terrible as this season has been, have made a late push into the playoffs! For those of you sportsball minded folks, come chill and watch Daddy Dak lead our boys to victory.
PM me for the address. Doors at 7:30, kickoff at 8:15, probably over around 11pm. Come and go as you like. Plus ones and friends welcome. Please BYOB, liquor, snacks. I may provide some basic white girl snacks and beer.
Hope you can make it!
If you can't make the Holiday Party (where things will surely devolve into s showtunes sing-a-long by the end of the night!) and/or if you just want some more caterwauling in your holiday season: join us for karaoke at Musette in Adam's Morgan on December 21st at 8pm.
Message to RSVP and for more details (and/or look for the event item on Facebook.) It'll be a great time and we hope to see you there!
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
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!
We'll be meeting at the National Mall in the Hirschhorn/Castle area to do our Silph Road check-ins and then make a few loops catching mons! Join us! We'll be around until 5pm when the timer expires.
The PoGo DMV Discord is here: https://discord.gg/JMDgb4j Look for Rielos or Snakie821!
Are there any good board game groups? Ideally ones that are more social than "win at any cost."
