APIQWTC Next Meetup at Q&A Conference
-- Inter-generational Conversation and APIQWTC Meet-up
Saturday, April 28
Session II -1:30-2:30
UC Berkeley's Barrows Hall [map]
Berkeley, CA
Come and join us for a inter-generational conversation
between API queer women and transfolks at all ages. This
is a precious two-hour time slot we reserved at the
Queer & Asian Conference at UC Berkeley.
For the past few years, the
Queer & Asian Conference at UC Berkeley has focused on
our identities and how they interact with the
environment around us. As our Queer and Asian community
continues to grow and change, we look towards developing
a space where both leaders and newcomers alike can come
together to sustain momentum in the multiple movements
we are part of.
This year’s conference “Collide, Connect, Create”
invests in the opportunities created when we engage in
each other’s struggles, share resources, foster
political education, and cultivate leadership among
students and between movements. Our goal is to provide a
forum for individuals, communities, and issues to
collide; to connect and build coalition networks; and to
create strategies to work across differences. Whether
you are working on a particular campaign, reclaiming a
Queer and Asian identity, or discovering new ways of
self-care, we invite you to join us for a weekend of
thoughtful dialogue, social bonding, and Queer and Asian
empowerment.
APIQWTC will be hosting a Meet up at the conference on
April 28th.
More info, stay tuned! Check out their website:

APIQWTC Wine Tasting
Come celebrate Cinco de Mayo
with a wine tasting!
Cinco de Mayo Wine Tasting
Party
May 5, 2012, 2:30-4:30 pm
Club Lounge at The Infinity
333 Main Street, San Francisco (directions below)
Cost: $7 per person
Some more detailed information and general pointers:
1) WINE
We will taste some wine especially picked for the Cinco
de Mayo theme. There may be grape varietals that you
have not heard of before.
2) GETTING THERE
The Infinity is the condo complex on Main Street between
Folsom and Harrison. Enter the courtyard
(landscape/trees) between 301 Main Street and 333 Main
Street and take the stairs to the right to the Club
Lounge. Look for the APIQWTC banner!
The best way to get there is to let Muni/Bart be your
designated driver! The venue is a short 8-minute walk
from Embacadero Station and 2 blocks from Muni's Folsom
St stop. You can also use buses that go to the temporary
Transbay Terminal.
3) PARKING
If you are driving, there are free 2-hour spots on Spear
St, Main St and Beale St. Please note that Giants is
playing at home that day with first pitch at 1:05pm, so
parking in the area will be limited. Of course, if you
plan on driving, we trust that you will drink
responsibly.
4) FOOD
There will be bread, cheese and other small snacks. If
you plan on "drinking" and not "spitting," you may want
to eat some protein beforehand.
5) DRESS CODE
Just a note that wine being what it is and gravity being
what it is, it's always smart to dress in dark colors:
black skirt, brown slacks, burgundy top, etc. No one
wants to go home looking like a Jackson Pollock
painting!
See you there!
