How to Find Girls Like Us Events and Issue Launches

Updated

Open the Events section of girlslikeusmagazine.com to find dated event listings and issue-launch announcements. The site's own event entries pair a venue with specific dates — for example, a "Mothers & Daughters" lesbian-bar event at Beursschouwburg, Brussels on 8, 15 and 22 December 2017, and the launch of Issue #10 in Brussels on 2 September 2017, hosted with the CAMPerVAN caravan at Buenos Tiempos. Use the Events page as your starting point, then confirm details against the venue or the magazine's shop/social channels before travelling.

What the Events section actually lists

Based on the site's page content, event entries follow a consistent pattern:

  • A title or theme — e.g. "Mothers & Daughters – A LESBIAN BAR," or "Launch Issue #10."
  • A venue and city — e.g. Beursschouwburg, Brussels; Buenos Tiempos, Brussels.
  • Explicit dates — day and month, sometimes multiple dates for a run of nights.
  • A short description — often including a cultural reference (the lesbian-bar entry quotes Jonathan Richman's "I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar") and a "More" link to the full item.

Issue launches are treated as events in their own right. The Issue #10 launch is described as "an evening of events and good times," with the London-built CAMPerVAN caravan brought in as the host venue — a detail worth noting if you're trying to picture the format.

Step-by-step: finding an event

  1. Go to the site's Events page. From the homepage navigation, select Events. This is where dated listings live, separate from the Issues archive.
  2. Scan for a date and city. Listings lead with the venue and date, so you can filter quickly by whether you can actually get there.
  3. Open the "More" link on an entry you're interested in. The homepage excerpts are truncated; the full item should carry the complete description and any practical detail.
  4. Cross-check the venue. The site names venues directly (Beursschouwburg, Buenos Tiempos), so search the venue's own programme to confirm the event is still scheduled and whether tickets or RSVP are required. The magazine pages themselves don't state ticketing or entry conditions.
  5. Check the Issues page for context. If the event is a launch, the corresponding issue entry (e.g. "ISSUE #10 – FUTURE") tells you what the night is about.

Reading the listing correctly

Two things trip people up:

  • Listings are historical, not a live calendar. The dates visible in the site content are from 2017. A listing existing on the page does not mean the event is upcoming. Treat every date as something to verify, not assume.
  • The theme is the hook, not the schedule. Entries like "Mothers & Daughters" or the Issue #10 launch describe a concept and a night; they don't promise recurring programming. If you're planning around an event, the venue is the authoritative source for time and access.

If you want the current programme

The site content doesn't show a subscription, newsletter signup, or calendar feed. Practical routes:

  • Revisit the Events page periodically and look for entries with dates after today.
  • Check the SHOP section, since launches are tied to new issues and the shop is where issues are distributed.
  • Follow the venue listings for the cities the magazine uses (Brussels appears repeatedly), as those pages maintain live schedules.

Quick reference

What you need Where to look What to expect
Upcoming or past events Events page Venue + date + short description + "More" link
What a launch is about Issues page Issue number, theme, editorial description
Tickets, times, access The named venue's own programme Not stated on the magazine pages
New issues for sale SHOP Issue listings

The short version: the Events page gives you the what, where and when as the magazine recorded it — but confirm against the venue before you make plans, because the visible listings are archival rather than a live calendar.
