Happy (Late) Alice Day

Alice Day was yesterday, and I forgot to make a post about it. I guess I was just too busy to remember, but busy doing what? Hosting an Alice Day picnic of course!

For those that don’t know, Alice Day is a day to celebrate girllove, originally known as “Pedophile Pride Day”. It celebrates the day that Lewis Carroll met Alice Liddell, the girl who would serve as inspiration for the classic tale Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

We hosted a community picnic yesterday, and although turnout wasn’t as high as I’d hoped, we still had a fun get together with friends, both new and old, with yummy food and fun games.

We hope this is the first of many community events we host. But who is we? Me and a team of IRL friends have been forming an informal organization called Beyond the Plus, based in Seattle, WA, and for months we’ve been planning and finally have something to show for it. We hope people see that events like these are possible and join in in the future. To see more check out the Beyond the Plus website.

Once again, happy (late) Alice Day! To everyone who could and couldn’t attend. I hope everyone celebrated in their own little way.
