Looking for "family" in Napa

It sure felt like we were in a dry spell (gay drought?) of queer community building here in the Napa Valley. It's been all sorts of issues and news going on and not a lot of actual queer events or local happenings that aren't under-cover (how typical).

However, I received several messages (yes, actually TWO!) via The Fruit's tipline about gay people looking for people:

Looking for "family" in Napa
I don't know about you, but I don't want to drive all of the way to the City just to be able to socialize with other LGBT people. And frankly, with gas prices so high, I don't want to have to drive out of the valley! LOL! Also, I think it's safe to say that we're all looking for a place to gather and just enjoy being a community. So, if you're "family" and you're interested, email back.

I'm looking for someone (Gay) to do some bicycling, kayaking, camping, swimming, and maybe some road trips with. Maybe some one to do rider like the Tour De Tahoe etc., with? [Email us and we'll email you the address. Mention which post you are responding to, please. :) ]

So what do you think? I can pass on direct replies to either, or should we start a monthly, weekly gathering place that's open and people could just know to come by when they feel like it? Please comment.
