Planet London at L Fest
Yes, we'll be there!
Planet London will be part of the team co-ordinated by Sherbs looking after the LFest Solos Club (#LFestUnicorns) to make sure all those attending LFest on their own are not alone for long.
Alongside a very warm and welcoming space where you can hang out, chill out on one of our inflatable chairs, chat with our friendly volunteers and keep abreast of the schedule, it's also a chance to meet up with other Solos who want to see the same Acts as you or attend the same workshops and events. Awesome!
We're planning a schedule of activities that will help us all get to know each other - a bucks fizz breakfast on the Saturday, games to play, and contests (watch this space for more detail). Pink Sofa will be running dating events as well.
There'll be a big message board where you can organise a meet up for a particular act, or let a particular lady know that you've spotted her and wouldn't mind spotting her again.
We'll also have the Planet London traffic light badges available for so you can meet women looking for the same thing as you.
We're also welcoming suggestions. If there's something you specifically want to take part in, let us know in the comments below!
*** UPDATE
The kind ladies at Wow Women are offering this sexy t-shirt as one of the prizes in the prize draw that will be taking place in Planet Central.

L Fest 2013 line up released
The line-up has finally been announced! L Fest released its secrets today for what it has planned for the 69 hours of fun in July. With a new location, an extra music stage and the retreat, where else would the lesbians be on the weekend of the 19th?
The Music
It's going to be an eclectic mix of country, soul, hip hop, R'n'B, rock, acoustic-folk and electro-pop, performed by a prestige selection of musicians who, like us, are proud to tread a different path.
L Word favourites BETTY will be performing their tight harmonies, fun melodies and clever lyrics and getting the lesbians hot under their sparkly collars and so will award winning US singer Rachael Sage, fresh off her tour. Red N Pink will be rapping, tapping and getting the crowd clapping and Heads Hearts will perform their electro dancy tracks along with AMiTY and Faye Bagley who has been performing on the L Fest crew's tour.
On the brand new stage there a range of talent handed to you on a plate, ready for you become a fan and discover some exciting new music. Cat Chinn, Nikki Rous and Jasmine Kennedy to name a few will all be showing off their acoustic guitar skills and range of lovely lyrics on the L Fest Presents stage.
The Arts
With literature there is so much talent in one place you'll be leaving with your mind full of wonderful stories and beautiful poetry. Festival regular VG Lee will perform her brand-new one-woman play 'The Lady of the Wild West Hill,' before taking it to the Edinburgh Fringe. There will be extracts from the book by Clare Summerskill 'Gateway to Heaven: Fifty years of lesbian and gay oral history,' a book that has been getting talked about more than Fifty Shades of Grey. Jackie Kay will also read from her latest work.
The Comedy
The laughing Cows comedy is set to be amazing this year. Lesbian favourite Jen Brister will take to the stage to make you laugh and cringe at stories of her relationships and the long list of things that she hates. Latitude New Act of the Year finalist, Suzi Ruffell will make you giggle with detailed stories of growing up and being told repeatedly that she can 'be cured,' of being gay and Julie Jepson and Kerry Leigh will complete the night with talented, witty quips and gay humour.
The Other Bits
With all that and more there's also some other lovely bits to make the weekend more enjoyable and even more girly, such as the retreat so you can pamper yourself after a hard day of watching bands. There are workshops galore, activities, a cinema to showcase some of the best films and of course The L Project will be performing their charity single.
Tickets are priced at £99 for the whole weekend so get yours now.
