SUMMARY:Off Leash at Wattles — Bloom Social Club
DESCRIPTION:Off Leash at Wattles — Bloom Social Club \nOff Leash.\nFinally.\n \nA Saturday morning for single gay and queer men of color and their dogs at Wattles Garden Park\, Hollywood. \nNo performance. No pressure. Just the right people in the right place doing the most natural thing there is. \n───────────────────────────────────────────────── \nABOUT THIS GATHERING:\nYou know the feeling. \nYou take your dog to the park\, and they are immediately in their element — running\, playing\, making friends without calculation. \nAnd you are standing there thinking: When was the last time I did that? \n\nOff Leash is a morning for gay and queer men of color who are ready to stop managing themselves and start actually connecting. \nNo mixer energy. No networking agenda. No performance. \nJust Wattles Garden Park\, a beautiful Saturday morning in the Hollywood Hills\, your dog if you have one\, and an outdoor room full of other successful\, dog dads of color who get it — because they are living the same story. \nSingle. Building something. Done with bars and apps. \nReady to be in a room where showing up as yourself is the whole point. \n───────────────────────────────────────────────── \nWHAT TO EXPECT:\n\nA stunning morning on the historic Wattles Mansion lawn right next to Runyon Canyon.\nDogs off leash on the open grounds or on your preference.\nCoffee and a light spread on arrival.\nA bingo card to help you find your pack (it is more fun than it sounds — trust me).\nOne question to open the morning and let the conversation go where it needs to go.\nA group photo at 10 AM — all dogs and their dads.\n\nSome people will walk up into Runyon after. Some will exchange numbers over coffee. Some will just enjoy two hours of being exactly who they are with people who understand that. \nAll of it is the point. \n───────────────────────────────────────────────── \nTHIS MORNING IS FOR:\n\nDog dads. Dog Uncles. Dog godfathers.\nMen who moved to LA and are still looking for their people.\nMen who came out of a long relationship and do not know where gay men of color actually meet anymore.\nMen who are so deep in the hustle that they forgot what a real Saturday morning feels like.\nMen who want to connect without performing it.\n\nYou do not need to bring your dog to attend. \nYou need to be single and identify as BIPOC and gay or queer. \nThis is not a dating event. \n───────────────────────────────────────────────── \nTHE DETAILS:\nDate: Sunday\, July 19\, 2026 \nTime: 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM \nLocation: Wattles Garden Park\, 1824 N Curson Ave\, Hollywood\, CA 90046 \n(Meet on the upper lawn near the mansion — off Curson Ave entrance) \nTicket: $20 RSVP \nWhat to bring: \nYour dog (optional but encouraged) \nWater for yourself and your pup \nSunscreen — we start in shade but the morning opens up \nComfortable shoes \nA good attitude and zero agenda \nParking: Street parking on Curson Ave and Franklin Ave. \nLyft or Uber recommended. \nDogs of all sizes welcome. \nNo dogs or dogdads in heat please. \n───────────────────────────────────────────────── \nThe room is small. That is the point. \nRSVP — $20 \nNo one turned away for financial reasons. \nEmail noris@norisknows.com if that is you. \n───────────────────────────────────────────────── \nBloom Social Club · norisknows.com \nCurated gatherings for gay and queer men of color
