    Reminder: Westminster LGBT History walk TODAY
    A quick reminder for interested parties;

    Sun 15th Feb, 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm - "Drunkenness Relieved By Lechery: a historic walk through Westminster, St James' Park & Covent Garden." Join your guide [info]alextiefling for an exploration of some notable figures in and around the corridors of power. From William Rufus to Radclyffe Hall, from the Houses of Parliament to the Vere Street Brothel, come and discover the secret life of Westminster.

    Meet outside Lillywhite's on the corner of Piccadilly Circus for a 1:30 departure. This walk is fully accessible except for a single passageway - if you have accessibility needs, please email your guide at lgbthistorywestminster@googlemail.com and they will happily assist you. The walk will last for 90-120 minutes and is just over 3 miles long. It finishes very close to Temple tube station.


    Neither Piccadilly Circus station nor Temple station is affected by tube closures, according to TfL's latest update.

    See you there?

    LGBT History Month: Events in London
    I have been somewhat involved in organising a few LGBT History events for this month in Central London, so here are some of the upcoming activities. The B & T will definitely be represented!

    EVENTS IN FEBRUARY



    Sun 15th Feb, 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm - "Drunkenness Relieved By Lechery: a historic walk through Westminster, St James' Park & Covent Garden." Join your guide [info]alextiefling for an exploration of some notable figures in and around the corridors of power. From William Rufus to Radclyffe Hall, from the Houses of Parliament to the Vere Street Brothel, come and discover the secret life of Westminster.

    Meet outside Lillywhite's on the corner of Piccadilly Circus for a 1:30 departure. This walk is fully accessible except for a single passageway - if you have accessibility needs, please email your guide at lgbthistorywestminster@googlemail.com and they will happily assist you. The walk will last for 90-120 minutes and is just over 3 miles long. It finishes very close to Temple tube station.

    Tues 17th Feb, 12 noon - 2pm - "Drunkenness Relieved By Lechery". Another opportunity to attend the Westminster history walk, for those with long lunchbreaks! Details otherwise as above.

    Wed 18th Feb, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm - "Drunkenness Relieved By Lechery". An evening's version of the Westminster history walk.

    Fri 20th Feb, 6:30 pm - 8 pm - "London is Itself the Nation". An evening's tour around the National Portrait Gallery, discussing images of some of the figures featured on the history walks. Expect to hear about James I, George Villiers, Queen Anne, John Wilmot, Anne Seymour Damer, Siegfried Sassoon and many more.

    Meet in the front lobby of the National Portrait Gallery, St Martin's Lane (nearest station: Charing Cross or Embankment) for a 6:30 pm start. Booking is not required, but it would be helpful for the gallery staff if you wish to indicate intention to attend, and numbers. This is a separate event from the history walks and can be enjoyed on its own, although attending one of the earlier walks is recommended and, indeed, encouraged.

    Thu 26th Feb, 6 pm - 10 pm - "Sodom, or The Quintessence of Debauchery". A readthrough of the Earl of Rochester's infamous, explicit play, organised by the lovely [info]mirrorshard & [info]sashagoblin. Dress up, take part and recite the immortal words of the great libertine. Amusingly-shaped vegetable props welcome.

    Arrive from 5:30 pm at the Regent Street campus building of the University of Westminster: front reception should direct you to the correct room.

    More events may be arranged later, including more history walks if there is sufficient demand. Please email lgbthistorywestminster@googlemail.com for any questions, requests or suggestions. Please feel free to advertise these events to any interested party. E-flyers can be supplied on request.

    All events mentioned above are free to attend.

    London Polyamory Meetup November 4th 2008
    A note to inform anyone who isn't on the Meetup group site that we've moved the venue for November's meetup.

    It will be held at Penderel's Oak, on the ground floor (wheelchair accessible, I'm told), towards the back.

    The address of the pub is:

    283-288 High Holborn, WC1V 7HP
    London WC1V 6
    020 7242 5669

    The meetup is scheduled to start at 7:30pm.

    So far there are 13 Yes RSVPs on the site and a bunch of Maybes.

    I have a new baby Jabber (beanie parrot) thanks to M and it's small enough to fit into a handbag so shouldn't get lost on the way home this time. ;-)

    If there's room and I can get away with it I may give it some flying lessons in the pub.

    Intro :)
    Hello! Some of you know me already. I'm Laurie, I'm almost 22, I'm vaguely a journalist, and I've just joined this community. *waves frantically*. Now, what sort of events are on in London for shy newbies who'd like to hang out with bi/poly kin-types?

    Poly-er than thou game
    While I was in London this past spring, someone told me about a really fantastic game they had played at Poly Day or some similar event.

    It was called polyer than thou (iirc) and involved betting chips and guessing how many people had done something, or who had had the best or worst experience, or somesuch like that.

    I'm planning on running an adapted version of the game at PolyCamp Ontario, and I'm hoping:
    (1) To get more info on how the game is run, what was good about it, and what was bad, and
    (2) To find out who invented the game so that I can give them credit.

    Thanks in advance!

    Wear Purple for Pride
    In just under a fortnight, on Saturday 5 July, it will be London Pride. As in the past few years, I'm organising a Bisexual London walking group who will be wearing purple for Pride. We'll be meeting 12-12:30 in Baker Street (more details when I have it), and it would be great to see as many people as possible on the march. Wearing purple is optional.

    We'll also have a stall in Trafalgar Square, so please drop in and say 'hi!' to us there if you're at the rally. If you can tear yourself away from Boris Johnson, Sandi Thom and Sade on the main stage, that is.

    July in London.
    Hi people :)
    In July I’m working in London. I decided to go there because I need to improve my English, and because I’ve never been in this city. I happened to have a job opportunity, and now I’m trying to organize this travel.
    I’ll probably have some Italian acquaintances and friends there, but I’d like to meet new people. I happened also to be a bisexual – that’s why, having found this community, I’ve decided to write here. I’ll be in London because of job and language, but I’d like to find nice pubs and bars, maybe with someone who agrees with me about bisexuality.
    If anyone will have any spare time in July, and feels like meeting new people, I’m here.

    (I don’t write in English on my LJ, therefore adding me will be a bit useless, I’m sorry. MSN will be more useful.)
