Tuesdays and Fridays.

Call Becky at 342-9886. Parents and Friends
of Lesbians and Gays meet the second Thurs

Men Together meet near Salisbury. For in
formation, call (704) 637-3239.
Another wonderful way to meet people
is the monthly (first Friday of the month,
roughly 7 to 9 p.m.) Gallery Crawl. The art
galleries all change their exhibits on the
first Friday, and celebrate by having wine
and cheese available, and frequently the
artists are on hand.'Needl6ss to sa;y, there
are numerous delightful people around,
whom you can meet if you are VERY
discreet (“Would you like to see my etch
ings?”).
Finally, there are always interesting
people, many of homophilic tendencies, at
the various theatre productions around town.
If you are a thespian (pronounce that VERY
carefully in North Carolina!), fine. Try out
for a part. If you are not an actor/actress,
then help build sets (they teach you), sew
costumes (they show you how), usher, etc.
You will meet at least one like-minded
person, who can then tell you who else is
“family.” My favorite is Theatre Charlotte
on Queen’s Road.
