Bi-NSW - what do you want to see happen?

I'm sure that most of you have noticed that the events calendar for the Bi community has been a little thin lately. To change that we need some new ideas and hopefully also some new volunteers.

If you can help with either, or both, of those areas then you are welcome to come along to our bi-monthly planning meeting in Glebe this Thursday 17th.

It's a very informal meeting that starts at 7:30pm and generally goes no later than 9:30pm.

To get the address details, or for more info, you can email metreasurer@bi-nsw.org.au (treasurer at bi-nsw dot org dot au)

or phone on 0416-070360

One of my, not very original, thoughts is to hold a bisexual speed dating evening (ie. you'd get to do the quick spiel with everyone, not just the opposite gender). But I've never actually been to a speed date - maybe somebody who has can flesh that idea out more? I'm pretty sure at our last pub night somebody suggested the evening could be complemented with a "slave auction".

Another thought has been that, given the amount of effort that goes into organising a Biversity party, maybe we can cut down on that effort by simply doing a bisexual "flash mob" of an established event or venue. (ie. pick a particular night in advance, but wait until just a couple of days beforehand to pick the best event/venue)

There could also be a forum or discussion evening to allow people to delve into the common questions about bisexuality and dealing with it. We could start with a topical theme and progress from there. (eg. can being locked in immigration detention really alter your sexuality?)

Some other suggestions I've heard have been a Masquerade Ball, a group visit to the Korean Ginseng Bathhouse at Kings Cross, and a "fuckerware" party with live demonstrations! (I know there have been others also but my memory is bad.)

If you have an idea that you reckon would appeal to a bunch of bored bisexuals, then let us know. Either by coming along on Thursday, or contacting me, or simply replying to this post to see what the level of interest is.
