Hey, there SF! Help us brainstorm!!

Some friends of mine are looking to produce an event for trans guys and the guys who're into them. Not for the super -PC easily offended, target market is more those who live as/among gay men and would like to have a club night for trans guys and their friends.

"We know a few FTMs in the Bay Area and they feel disconnected from the community because of the ultra-PC attitude that some have about it. This is the group we are trying to attract, so we need to be a little un-PC in our marketing and be a little offensive without being too offensive."

Their first thing we need is a name. Some folks have really liked "Taco Truck" as a play on masculinity with a vagina.

The last thing we want is someone going on a rant in the BAR about someone being insensitive blah blah blah.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Anyone want to help?

I'd be interested in talking to them.

What does an "event" entail? Sex parties have been tried and failed, bar nights with outside promotors happen all the time (not necessarily this specific an audience but then the size of the bar is important not to be too big).

There is already a bar named Truck, and another named Buck, so variations of that won't work. Bar on Church (formerly the Transfer) has Wednesday event that raises money for trans projects (Dimensions Petty Cash fund was the first week).

There is a new photo mag coming out, locally produced, Original Plumbing, produced by Amos Mac with assistance by Tuck. Good tie in with them (in addition to Trannywood of course).

We are doing monthly workshops with Trans Thrive within this particular community and are also trying to build some sense of community.

I mentioned Original Plumbing to them. He seemed to think on first glance at what's on FaceBook that it looked like a good match.

It's not intending to be a sex party, just a club/bar type thing.

Maybe you can provide some trannywood footage for them to show if the venue can handle it?
