Went on a long photo walk tonight, although that wasn't the plan. Tonight was supposed to a specifically trans-masc inclusive queer meet up that happens only once a month, but they changed the location and didn't update the event info. Because I really didn't want to miss this especially after how everything's been, I did the rounds 4 times trying to figure out if various tables might be the group at the wrong damn place. People were looking at me weird by the 3rd time I went through, but actual in person event...

Still not sure how other people knew about the location change, but they were elsewhere.

So, I went and treated myself to some vegan pizza, remembered it was a Night Market weekend and then did some photowalking. I feel like absolute shit, though. What's the point in even trying? I left messages on the event page asking questions and no one's gotten back to me yet.

So sorry you missed out! What a mess.

Well that sucks, I'm sorry :(

It’s really stressful and annoying when event organisers are that chaotic! I’m sorry it was such a mess.

UGH. Failing to update the location info is VERY frustrating. Are they doing their organizing elsewhere, rather than the event page? It sort of sounds like it isn't being paid attention to. That sucks. :/

Yeah, I am not fully sure what happened. But after my 3 laps I walked away, then walked back, around the block, etc. The ap was like 'it's happening now' and gmaps confirming my location. I had external tools telling me I hadn't messed up. It was a big area so I did a final lap and recognized someone. I figured I must know him from the group, but when I said 'hi' he looked at me, jerked his head back and pointedly looked away. When I got home I confirmed that it was not only him, but was that night's host. He was the one you were supposed to say hi to, not just some random member.

They were at a nearby brewery that allows outside food if it's from the food cart pod, so he was over there probably picking up his order.

That it was the host who reacted that way to me... in isolation I'd shrug it off but, fuck...

What the fuuuuuck. That is deeply shitty, and I'm sorry.
