Covid Conscious Lesbian Takeover: Witching Hour

Are you a Covid Conscious lesbian looking to make friends with other Covid Conscious lesbians? Meet us at Witching Hour at 7PM on 3/13!

Masks will be required + provided!

Takeover events are a way for us to take up space as Covid Conscious lesbians and help regular social outings feel less isolating. We will also be bringing Covid resources and PPE to distribute like masks, Covid tests, and info zines!

What is a Covid Conscious Takeover?
Our takeover meetups allow us an opportunity to take up space as Covid Conscious lesbians, in spaces that are typically not catered towards us. We know how isolating it can feel to be the only one masking in a room, and we want to do everything we can to alleviate that loneliness in regular social outings- whether it’s a night at a bar, day at the museum, or simple trip to the park. It’s also a wonderful way for us to support local businesses! By taking advantage of otherwise slow nights, we help bring business to our favorite local spots, all while limiting our exposure with non CC folks. These meetups also serve as a way for us to help distribute Covid resources and PPE like masks, Covid tests, and info zines. 🙂

We are aware we cannot force every single other person to mask in the public spaces we choose for these meetups. But we find that the more of us there are masking and the more space we take up, the safer we can help each other feel. So while we understand that we cannot require other folks in public spaces to mask, we kindly ask that you do not attend this meetup unless you plan to wear a mask. Going out will never be 100% Covid risk free, but events like this help minimize that risk by allowing us to take space with others taking similar precautions. Lez Night Out is a lesbian social events group that has and will always continue to prioritize Covid Consciousness at our events. Masking is one of the easiest ways to practice community care, and we want nothing more than to protect that community. This is how we keep each other safe!

Accessibility
Witching Hour is located off the L train and the B60 + B20 busses. The entrance has a small step to get into, but the kind folks over at Witching Hour have offered to help any wheelchair/mobility aid users who need assistance getting in! The entrance (double doors) is approximately 60 inches. The bathroom is not wheelchair accessible, but the bathroom at Bushwick Taco Company (one block down) is! (If it is available for customers only, we would be happy to cover a taco or two:) High-filtration masks/respirators (KN95 or better) will be required and provided for all attendees. This is a bar, so there will be drinks available. Since this is a CC meetup event, we expect folks to keep their masks on if not drinking. Unfortunately we cannot require non LNO patrons of the bar to mask, so please feel free to stay home if that is too high risk for you. If you are feeling sick (even if you don’t think it’s COVID), have recently been exposed, or in a high-risk situation, we ask that you please stay home! This is how we keep each other safe. There is an outdoor area with three picnic tables and no wheelchair barriers! These are great for folks who would like a drink but do not feel comfortable unmasking to sip indoors.
