CHEAP BEER QUEER SLEAZE

THURS 28TH OF JULY 2022

for the fags dykes queers boygirls girlboys of helsinki and adjacent areas

for those fed up with the state of and lack of real trans spaces in helsinki

for those fed up with rainbow consumerism in a pretty pink package

even for those who hate beer!!!

join the sleazefest by bringing a can of the nastiest, cheapest or most interesting beer you can find and sharing it with others. alcohol-free beer is a plus, the idea of this event is not to get shitfaced, but to satirize wine tasting and the idea that a 50 euro price tag is needed for communal events.

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU:

• a mug/cup/other vessel to drink out of
• something to sit on if you wish
• your zines or other things you wish to share with people there
• yourself and other like-minded friends!

respect others around you as well as your surroundings. don't be an asshole, don't harrass anyone. please clean up all your trash!

the date is thursday, 28th of july 2022, and starting time is around 17:15.
you can come and go as you please, the person organizing and typing this will probably be there until 20 or 21.

• the Töölö library, about 200-300 metres away from the gathering, has two gendered toilets and one larger disabled toilet. there are stairs of 12 and 15 steps leading to the library's entrance on two sides, and a stepless pathway on the Humalistonkatu side of the library.
• the library's front door is open if the weather is good, and the doorway is at least 80cm wide. the doorway has two thresholds of 1-2cm in height. indoors the toilets are on the ground floor with no stairs or thresholds on the way. the disabled toilet has a threshold of 1-2cm, steeper when exiting the toilet.
