so..i am not a radical faerie. or am i? i dont really know any faeries personally but only casually. am looking to hang out, meet and explore. question and learn. i am not who i am living my life as. i am not in love with the modern world. i struggle relating. i have a hippie side that yearns to find friends to help expose it. i exist in corporate america.but i do not live there. i feel as though i sit on the doorstep of what i think i should be but have not entered. i know i have not met the friends yet at my age that i know i am part of. BUT...i have hope.
looking to have coffee, tea, wine. hang out. learn. understand. grow.
where to meet other faeries and what is the best place to socialize until you get a group of friends?
help!?!

Re: need a radical friend
Wed, March 19, 2008 - 6:27 AMWhen I first met a radical faerie and he told be about the faeries, he said you are a radical faerie if you say you are.
Find places the faeries go.
Find the SF Rad Fae coffee house meeting. I can't remember when/where but I'm sure someone will post it.
Go to a Radical Faerie gathering!
Go up to Wolf Creek and just "be" for a while.
Help with Faerie Village at SF Pride.

Thu, March 20, 2008 - 12:43 PMRadical Faerie coffee is every Saturday at noon at the 3-Dollar Bill Cafe, 1800 Market Street at the LGBT center. They make pretty good sandwiches.
Maybe also get on the bay area faeries mailing list, and go to events that tickle your fancy:

Re: need a radical friend
Tue, March 25, 2008 - 12:35 PMYou can hang out with faeries even if you don't identify as one.
Identity politics can get tricky. Letting go of labels is what works for me...
I used to consider myself a 'radical faerie.' These days i'm just an earth-identified human.
I still hang out with faeries and go to gatherings so it's assumed that i'm a 'faerie.'
Other people will project onto you whatever they want no matter what you call yourself.
So don't worry about what other people think!!
You don't have to love the world. ...Just be yourself!!!

Re: need a radical friend
Tue, April 1, 2008 - 7:31 PMEddie, you put into words just what I have been feeling lately and for a while in regards to my own lack of satisfaction with the status quo.
"I am not who I am living my life as."
What insightfulness you wrote. It seems a truth, for you and I think for me also. Best of luck on your search. I'll be right behind or beside you.
Big love.
