About

events and camaraderie for gay women, men and sometimes both Entrepreneur, Robert Geller, widely known throughout the Tampa Bay gay community for his popular retail stores, Bourbon St. Boxers and what2wear, embarked on a new venture in 2008, Outings & Adventures, LLC designed to foster camaraderie among gay men .

Looking for an alternative, that did not exist, to the same old bar scene and technology’s proliferation of stunted communication through way too many on-line hook up sites, Robert with the support of his dear friends (Lisa, Rani, Brian & Travis) set out to create a new social norm…Outings & Adventures, the new place for fun.

Equal rights! From its inception Outings & Adventures has received hundreds of emails from gay women asking for their own O&A. And, here it is, launched in fall of 09′, O&A for Women, events for women by women.

O&A is about meaningful interactions. It’s about doing good for yourself and others. It’s about being connected, a sense of community. Hey, if Oprah can do it for straight women then why the hell not have a place for gay men and women (either amongst themselves in private events or together with their like minded friends).

Robert created a place where all gay women, men, single and coupled are welcome! It’s not about being in a clique where some control freak queen decides who gets invited based on……?

Quite simply, if you have an interest in an event, show up. (wait, don’t just show up, you have to pre-register in most cases, check out the individual event listings for all the details). You can try a new activity or participate in one you already enjoy and….bonus…meet other like-minded gay members of the community who are there for same reason. No hidden agenda. If they wanted a quick hook up they’d be on one those free hunting sites, you know the ones, at the top of your screen booked marked under favorites, just like Outings & Adventures.

Look for the these icons, depicting gay women only, gay men only and bring all your friends along events. All event postings are identified so your expectations will be clearly met.

Outings & Adventures events are meticulously planned with attention paid to every detail. With activities appealing to varied interests and no prior experience, ranging from O&A Book Club, ‘the other O book club,’ to skydiving and everything else in between, your social calendar will fill up with so many great opportunities to back away from that computer and make real off line connections with other gay men and women.
