Scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. I've been searching for you at parties. We'll be walking home at 6.00am. I discover fragments of you woven in how I dress.
Sitting on my old apartment floor, we'll have stories to retell way later on.

Tucked away on a quiet street corner, Piper and Aubrey found themselves unexpectedly paired at a lively gathering. As they engaged in conversation, their body language shifted, and laughter flowed easily between them. Piper was drawn to Aubrey's dry sense of humour, and they began to share stories and confessions. After the first round of drinks, they became increasingly absorbed in each other's company. Hours slipped by unnoticed, but the enchantment of their chance meeting lingered, creating an unforgettable evening filled with the warmth of newfound friendship and spontaneous joy amidst the chaos of the night.

Welcome to Third Rodeo's Platonic Lovers gathering. A large platonic social gathering designed for people to explore friendship, connection and playfully introduce themselves. Platonic love should be searched and celebrated and we're giving people a good chance at finding it this month!

EVENT DETAILS:

7.00pm - 12.00pm ⭐

Come join us on the evening of Friday 19 September for a social gathering at, Mirrorball Ministries, West End. It is a casual, but charming atmosphere, privately booked out for you to socialise among the Lesbian/Queer community. Grab your Cabernet Sauvignon or Coke Zero from the bar and turn strangers into dearest companions. Limited seats available.

You never know who you'll meet.

8.00pm - 8.45pm

★ Speed Mating Activity: You can be expected to go on at least 5 friend dates.

- Always introduce your name & pronouns

- Questions are fun and creative! Nothing too serious here!

- Participants progress from one table to the next. Number of mate dates will be determined on how many participants there are. On the night we will determine which direction we will move in. Please notify the host if you have any mobile accessibility requirements so we can assist you (-:

★ Name Game: You never know who you'll meet. Get given a guests name upon arrival and make it your mission to find them. There’s a question on the back to ask them if you’d like. This game creates chatter, banter and memories. The connections are boundless.

Note: Once you ask someone their name, even if it is NOT your person, you should exchange questions (-:

★ Call me cards: Keep in contact with each other. Write your details down on one of the 'Call me Cards' displayed around the venue and give it to them. It's a lovely gesture, an old fashion trick that works like charm!

Third Rodeo Background

At Third Rodeo, we believe in creating a warm and inviting space for the Lesbian and Queer community to thrive. Our events are designed specifically for individuals in their 20s and up, providing a dedicated environment where you can make meaningful connections.

Our philosophy is simple. We are your Third home.

Whether you come solo or with friends, or if its your First or Third Rodeo, you’ll find our atmosphere relaxed, charming, and just a little bit cheeky! We’re all about bringing people together, and we’re thrilled to have hosted successful events in Naarm/Melbourne, Gadigal Land/Sydney, Meanjin/Brisbane and Boorloo/Perth. Many of my own beautiful queer friendships have blossomed from these gatherings, and I can’t wait for you to experience the same.

I know it can be intimidating to show up alone, but trust me—you’re not alone in that feeling. Everyone is here for the same reason: to connect and find their community. You’ll quickly find that our crowd is warm, friendly, and welcoming!

Thank you for supporting our Lesbian/Non-Binary led small business. Your encouragement means the world to us, and I adore each and every one of you. I can’t wait to see you at our next event!

With love,
TR.
