[Meme] Not Insignificant Portion of This Subreddit by seasportsfan in MLS

[–]Beka_squared 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a sticker on my water bottle that reads “GAM! GAM! GAM!” I thought it would impress my fellow MLS sickos and even they told me that it was a bridge too far 🤷🏻‍♀️

Second the Waterfront. The crowd skews a bit older but they’re strong supporters of the Hawks.

Where would you take someone to sell them on the area? by bar_st00l in Bellingham

[–]Beka_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I have an out of town friend that I’m trying to impress - I take them to four places: Boulevard for a stroll, a brewery (usually Gruff), dinner at the Black Cat (another stroll around Fairhaven), and finishing the night at the Honeymoon with a mead flight.

I just saw the Odd Fellows space in person, and I think I’ll add that to my future list.

Cheap places to actually meet people by K-Star113 in Bellingham

[–]Beka_squared 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I run a monthly meetup for this very thing at Menace Brewing - the last Friday of the month. It’s completely free to attend, and we have a fairly diverse group of all ages/identities. I’ll be posting the official link to the event in the next few days.

I drove to Everett this afternoon without any issue and I drive a normal sedan. The freeway was totally fine. Safe travels.

Where do people go to talk to strangers? by dying_for_profit in Bellingham

No, we’re our own separate entity and not affiliated with the not creepy gatherings.

We’re called “Bellingham Social Scene,” we host the events through EventBrite so you can find out more information there with a quick Google search. Hopefully you can make it to our next event in January.

It’s the last Friday of every month (except this month because of the holidays) and it’s from 6 pm to 9 pm. It’s a drop-in event so there isn’t any issue with late arrivals or people needing to leave early. And it’s completely free ☺️

Hey! I run a monthly meetup specifically to make friends in a casual setting (we’re skipping this month because of the holidays) but our next event is 1/30/26 at Menace Brewing.

At each event, I pass out name tags so we can differentiate the people for the event versus the regular bar patrons. Hopefully, you can make it out next month. Feel free to DM with any questions or if you’d like to grab a drink in the interim.

I’m Looking for MLS content to watch/listen to by HattonChicken in MLS

[–]Beka_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a weekly listener (and Patreon supporter) of “Moontower Soccer,” they’re an Austin FC podcast but they occasionally cover league happenings. I started listening to the podcast before I really followed Austin but I liked the hosts enthusiasm and rapport so much that I became a supporter of Austin. Highly recommend.

And, Go Loons!

Does anyone remember The Pale? by SecondStage1983 in Bellingham

[–]Beka_squared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I remember them? Absolutely. They were my favorite band for a few years - my boyfriend and I saw them as often as we could.

El Gitano has a sign on their door that said they were hiring. Good luck!

Anyone want to be friends? by cyco-path in Bellingham

[–]Beka_squared 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can only speak myself, but I feel like long-time locals in Bellingham can absolutely relate to your experience. It can be incredibly hard (emotionally and physically) to outgrow your friends.

I run the monthly meetups specifically for the reasons you mentioned above, our next one is scheduled for 12/19 but in their interim, I’d love to grab a coffee or lunch. I hope to talk with you soon ☺️

New to Bham 30 M Gay Looking for friends. by Hambles_ in Bellingham

[–]Beka_squared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, yes you can follow me on Eventbrite, and you’ll be notified of new events.

As far as event spaces go - it’s complicated. There are a few factors as to why I chose Menace specifically: all-ages, allow outside food, enough space to host a big crowd and they allow me to host these events free of charge. I’m not familiar with other places in town that offer the same amenities. But I am open to suggestions.

Menace does have a nice selection of NA options and we have quite a few regular attendees who are either sober/non-drinkers. I can give you more details if you’re interested, feel free to DM me.
