Like.. genuinely, very genuinely.

Where and how to do hunt down events in your city? Like places and groups and activities where people who like the same things as you gather and hang out and do social stuff?

Cause I do follow like.. local game stores, comic shops, book shops, galleries/art programs, concert halls, the 1 gay bar in town, queer group pages, the library, and at least one local zine making group whose events never line up with my schedule except the 1 time it did and i went and it was very awkward for me so idk how good that one would pan out if I kept tryingggg-

And while a lot of these places host events semi-regularly the year a lot don't appeal or apply to me so I'm just at a Bit of a Loss for where to find events where I may connect with other people..

So like if ya'll know of some secret search term of webbed site or what have you IIIIII'm open to suggestions!

(and lets just completely ignore the fact that they're all going to be scheduled during my working hours anyway and I won't be able to go, I'll breakdown about that one later. I need to delude myself at least a little bit or else I'll Implode)

#monster noises #it's this weird dichotomous fucking personality of mine that i live under the crushing weight of #that means nothing seems like it would be a good time for me #like i'm a huge nerd but I don't play magic or warhammer or read serial comics so a lot of the games and comic shop groups are out #i love art but i'm a comic artist and illustrator so while I'm sure i'd be welcome at fine art stuff #it feels like i'm Not Really going to fit in #most library programming i hear about is either Wicked specific or aimed at children #queer social groups sku much much younger or much much older than me #.... i. will be continuing my rant but I have to stop and acknowledge that i used the wrong version of the word Skew.#i said Sku. which is the number code for a piece of merchandise at work.#and not Skew. the Word. the word that means a slant or angle. s k e w #AH H #anyway #back to my sour grapsing #there's a huge heavy metal scene in my city but it's all black and doom metal and i'm a power+folk+and symphonic metal homosexual #so That doesn't work #and the zine group thing is predominantly markets which I find really really difficult to enagage with social on the customer side #but it's not clear to me how one gets involved on the other side of the table #so like What Do #i still kinda wanna do figure drawing or something at the art place #but i can't imagine that's very social and also i'm Definitely going to get Mondo frustrated and sad and overwhelmed and that will Not help #it will be Embarassing #and like sure yeah maybe i'm the problem and i'm being a huge picky baby about going to these things #but clearly i'm not ready to Address that yet and we are all just going to pretend that the problem #is that I just haven't found the right Event Yet #if that's cool with everyone else
