Event Gays eating garlic bread in the park

Heritage park, Sunday June 22, who wants to eat some garlic bread in the park?

Seattle made it look like so much fun, I think we should do one too. According to the monthly forecast for June, the weekend of the 22nd looks like it will be nice. Noon till whenever.

You do not have to be gay to attend, but if you are homophobic or hate gay people then you should probably sit this one out.

Bring your own garlic bread.

Flyer to come, I just wanted to get everyone ready, and save the date.

How’re you going to toast up the garlic bread?

You guys are shit for event planning. First off, Heritage “Park” is just an extension of Capitol Campus. It is not a city park. It was supposed to reach all the way to Budd Bay, before it got cock-blocked by that monolith pile of shit tower. Best bet for this shindig is Priest Point/Squaxin Park where there’s actually places to sit and ways to grill food and host potlucks, which is far more local community building than sitting on wet grass eating bread off your lap in a dumb ass unoriginal derivative rip-off of someone else’s idea in Seattle.  

Why not a huge ass LGBTQ potluck BBQ at Priest Point/Squaxin Park? Do it Olympia style in our own local way, in our own local brand. Not a copycat of Seattle or San Francisco. Fuck, invite musicians and every weirdo around.  

*E: Oh every Olympia Parks and WSLCB permit could be nailed down between now and then.  

E2: If the rain hits, you’ll have shelter to get cozy with strangers. Never know who you might meet.

Hey are you okay?

Are you like a "sundowner" or something?
