Philadelphia Area Grommoff - Basic B*tch Edition!

Feasterville-Trevose
Pennsylvania

Welcome to the page for our next Grommoff! This will be a BASIC B*TCH Grommoff for those on a budget during this holiday season!

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MORE FANCY....check out our January Grommoff (Bougie Edition) at www.grommr.com/event/phlgrommoff7

We will gather a little before 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 9 at:

Jumbo Seafood Buffet, 725 Bustleton Pike, Feasterville-Trevose, PA 19053

Bring your BIG appetites and SMALL wallets for this incredibly affordable (and impressive, for the price) buffet located north of Philadelphia proper in Feasterville-Trevose. We will have semi-private area (possibly completely private); after entering through the front doors, it'll be past the buffet towards the back. This is our first real ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT local grommoff and hopefully you're excited! Leave your inhibitions at the door and eat to your delight (or encourage someone next to you to do so!).

After the Grommoff ends, those interested in continuing in fat fellowship are welcome to do so. Since the buffet is well outside of Philly proper, we will head to the lovely LGBTQIA+ hamlet of New Hope where we will be welcomed at

The Cub Room

400 W Bridge Street, New Hope, PA

(Within New Hope Lodge)

*GrommOffs are independently organized by members who've been vetted and approved as organizers, and who abide by a set of GrommOff Ground Rules which can be read in the Support link above. If you believe that these rules were not followed, please contact the GrommOff account here: https://grokio.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/4/topic/3ab9d4b8-c5d9-4822-a936-64a17a41150f/article/181731339 *

Please note well the following rules for Grommoffs:

1. Respect others’ personal space

Gatherings can be exciting--and it can be easy to feel comfortable with people you’ve just met. But make sure you always ask before encroaching on someone’s personal space if you don’t know them and stop if someone asks you to stop. Don’t make assumptions and ask for consent and you’ll be fine.

2. No room for racism, misogyny, ableism, homophobia or transphobia

We hope this rule goes without saying, but there is absolutely no room for racist, misogynistic, homophobic or transphobic views at any Grokio Community Gathering. Period.

3. Respect the discretion of the group in public

Oftentimes, gatherings are held in public places (restaurants, parks, beaches, bowling alleys, etc.) and there will be other people nearby. Be aware that loud voices travel—if you’re talking about sensitive or potentially embarrassing topics, use your inside voice. Similarly, a public place is not appropriate for intimacy or sexualized touching. Even if the other person is comfortable with it, respect that you’re with a group in a public place and hold off until you have more privacy.

4. Illegal drug/alcohol use is not allowed

The use of drugs that are illegal in the local jurisdiction before or during a Grokio Community Gathering is strictly forbidden, as is the consumption of alcohol by those under the legal age in the local jurisdiction.

5. Guests from outside the community are only allowed with prior approval

We know that attending a GrommOff, Feabie Meet or Ferzu Event for the first time can be scary, but bringing along a friend from outside the community for support can make others feel uncomfortable and force them to edit themselves the way they do in the real world (the goal of our gatherings is to let everyone stop editing!) If you absolutely must bring a friend from outside the community and you are confident they will know how to behave appropriately, you must clear it with the organizer BEFORE the event. Any portion of a gathering occurring in a bar or pub is excepted from this rule.
