I'm often wondering were the lady gays are. I'm excited at the prospect of meeting one, or a few or many. Mmmm...many, that would be good. Thanks for this post.

We had over 5 bars all to ourselves. It was vastly different from DC. <br/><br/>I agree with you all though - let's keep each other in the know of where to go around DC. We're out there, we're just not all at the same place. Actually, I’m from Columbus and the ladies outnumber the men there. We had over 5 bars all to ourselves. It was vastly different from DC.

There is nothing worse than people complaining about something, while simultaneously not doing anything about it. A main aspect of my post is how Lesbian events are not well attended, and in no way slanders those who are trying to connect vaginas all over D.C. land. My "bitching" was more of a "Hey unknown lesbians! Let's get out there and go to these events!" Recent comments above have already enlightened me of new and thriving ideas for lesbian gathering and ways to meet people (thank you coach, ms. C, and anonymous).<br/><br/>However in addition to lesbian gatherings, I also wanted to share my observations and questions about D.C. lesbian culture, about the extremes of D.C. night life in general. You mentioned you know of other bars, clubs events..well I would be honored if you became my new lesbian GPS. Please e-mail me: allison.oflinn@gmail.com. Hi Laura:

But you're right, no ladies nightlife here. When I went to the L Word Premiere I was utterly shocked to see more than 20 lesbians in a bar... in DC... past 9 pm. “I can’t even say “vodka cranberry” before someone’s balls are in my mouth”
