Hi! Welcome to the very first What’s a Lesbian to Do With Herself, in which we inform you what you should be doing if, G-d forbid, you leave this website and head out into the world. We get a lot of people asking us to talk about their events so HERE WE ARE, putting them all into one little post! This isn’t nightlife listings (check GO! Magazine for that) , just a compilation of things you’ve told us about or asked us to talk about on Autostraddle.
Are you hosting an Autostraddle Meet-Up you’d like added to this? Email grace [at] Autostraddle [dot] com with the details of your very special specialness. Also welcome are information about pride parties, poetry readings, craft fairs and Harry Potter movie premieres. To Grace!

Pensacola Women’s Week 2011

This exciting events combines two of our favorite things: half-naked girls and Julie Goldman. Friday “morning” The Real L Word cast (Romi & Sara), Julie Goldman, Brandy Howard and Top Chef Sandy Birdsong will be hosting the first round of the Dodgeball Charity Tournament and that very night Brandy will be hosting a comedy show featuring YOU GUESSED IT, Julie Goldman!
Other sexual activities include a party cleverly named “Sexacola” which inludes “infamous, fire-blowing Fuel Girls,” a Bikini Contest, a Wet T-Shirt Contest, a Drag King Competition and a White Party!
