About this Event:
It's happening! The first IN-PERSON Not-Creepy Gathering since pre-pandemic!!!
Okay, you want to meet someone, but "meeting someone" has sooo many layers right now!
Mask or no mask? What's your vaccination status? How big is your bubble? Will being in a crowd feel completely overwhelming? Will I feel even more awkward than usual? Do I even remember how to talk to new people? How do I know what's safe? How do I learn to trust again after more than a year of feeling like nothing is safe? How can we collectively begin to heal from the trauma of a year of isolation?
This event will be geared towards dipping our toes back into the waters of connection. We'll go slowly, taking just a few baby steps back in, back towards each other.
AND, we want this event to be accessible to everyone! For that reason, we're also doing a virtual Not-Creepy Gathering for People Who Want to Fall In Love, via Zoom, on Sunday the 11th. Choose the event that's right for you! Tickets for the online event here: https://7-11-21-notcreepygathering-seattle.eventbrite.com
COVID Protocol
Caring for each other is an important part of these events. In this era, that includes taking public health really seriously. For that reason, proof of full vaccination will be required to enter. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! You must have had your final dose by June 26. You will not be admitted without proof of vaccination. Acceptable forms include: an official CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card or a picture of your vaccination card; a digital or printed WA State Certificate of COVID-19 Vaccinatio; a WA State Immunization Information System printout; or a verified medical record printout from a medical provider.
Because full vaccination will be required, masks will be optional.
This is very exciting and a little scary -- but isn't that true pretty much any time we open ourselves up to connection?

More Event Info
"Are you a nice person who just wants to meet another nice person?
This event is for you!
Wanna know what it would look like if an artist came up with an antidote to cruise-y bar scenes and soulless dating apps?
Come find out!
What if I'm gay?
That's great! This event is not just for straight people.
Aw, I do want love, but I'm too old.
No you're not!! This event draws adults of all ages.
Are you scared?
It's okay. Me, too. Let's be scared together.
I feel weird about looking for love when there’s so much anti-racism work to do.
I feel that, too! AND,it turns out, practicing being brave by SHOWING UP as our whole, true selves, even when we’re scared, is helpful for relationships and for social justice work. Actually, it’s helpful for kind of everything.
* * *
This structured online event is not about scrolling and swiping and making snap decisions based solely on physical appearance. This event is about being open enough to see each other's humanity.
You might meet your new boo! Or you might not. You might meet your new bestie or protest buddy. Or you might just leave feeling more connected to your community and more connected to yourself.
Bring a notebook!"

COVID Public Health Safety Info:
As of August 23, 2021
Welcome back Abbey Arts family!
As we reopen the doors to our venues, rest assured that we will be welcoming our patrons back in to an environment that prioritizes health and wellness. We are working with local officials to ensure current health and safety protocols are in place at Abbey Arts events, while being mindful that flexibility will be required as those guidelines will likely continue to evolve. Obviously with COVID-19 not being completely eradicated, we’ll have to change some things around here as we go. Please consult the state’s guidelines for the most up-to-date information on phases and state mandated guidelines.
IMPORTANT INFO
- There is a statewide mask mandate for requiring masks for ALL patrons indoors REGARDLESS of vaccine status. More information from the State of Washington can be found at https://coronavirus.wa.gov/news/statewide-updated-mask-order-goes-effect-monday-aug-23
- Starting 7/30/21 We are now requiring a government issued photo ID* and PROOF OF VACCINATION or a NEGATIVE COVID-19 PCR test result within 72 hours prior to the event to be allowed to enter the building. Find a testing center here. Please note that test results may take 24-48 hours. Please plan accordingly.
- Full vaccination is defined as having received a final vaccination dose at least two weeks prior to the event date.
- The name on your vaccination card or COVID test MUST match your state ID
- Acceptable forms of proof of vaccination include: an official CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card or a picture of your vaccination card; a digital or printed WA State Certificate of COVID-19 Vaccination; a WA State Immunization Information System printout; or a verified medical record printout from a medical provider.
- *In addition to providing proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test, guests 18 or older must present a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. Guests younger than 18 may present a government-issued photo ID or a school photo ID as an alternative. Guests younger than 18 who do not have either a government-issued ID or school photo ID can only attend performances in the company of an adult who provides the required ID and vaccine documentation for themselves and can also provide documentation for the minor’s test results or vaccination verification.
- All employees are fully vaccinated and are required to wear masks indoors.
- We are operating at mid capacity to allow more space and smaller crowds.
- We have increased hand sanitizing stations around the venues. We encourage you to regularly sanitize and fully wash hands when you use the restroom.

We’d be happy to oblige, no questions asked. No refunds given after the event. Thanks!
