the rising temperature taking hold. It’s also
the anticipation of the scorching hot party
season that begins this month and leads us
right into summer.
On tap are parties for every ilk as
Hotlanta gets geared up to show the world
how we earned our nickname. So get out
your shorts and flip-flops, belly up to the
bar for a refreshing beverage, and hold on
tight for the hottest in spring events roaring
your way.
Taking its cue from the reemerging vegetation,
My Sisters’ Room takes advantage of
the growing season to do a little growing of
its own. Owner Susan Musselwhite
announces that, in the midst of some fantastic
upcoming parties and events, the lesbian
bar will further expand to incorporate the
space next door to its location in East
Atlanta Village.
“We just need a little room to spread out,
because we’re just kind of packing them in
there,” Musselwhite says. “When we built
the deck, we took the two spaces that were
next to us and had not done anything with
the third one, so our plans are to bust
through into that third space.”
Plans include new a new pool table area,
and just because the venue is undergoing a
little home improvement, don’t expect the
party front to slow down. In addition to the
already-in-progress Raw Talent contest on
Thursday nights that culminates in May,
MSR also kicks off its sure-to-be hot
Resurrection party next week, courtesy
Girls Gone Pride.
“It’ll just be a really high energy party
with lots of trinkets and party favors,”
Musselwhite says. “These girls, they just
don’t hold anything back. They have a really
good time and they can put on a really
good party.”
can put on a really good party. Chris
Coleman’s C2 Productions proves time and
again with its monthly tea dances that the
guys can do it up too. The parties kick into
high gear with two upcoming dates from a
couple of the biggest DJ names, Tony Moran
and Manny Lehman.
Moran mans the tables for C2’s Easter
Party this weekend, and Lehman takes over
for the April party, which also serves as a CD
release party for his new disc, ‘Move:
Atlantis 2008.’
“I’m very excited,” Coleman says. “It’s
really an honor for me to bring two guys like
this in back to back.”
Consider Coleman doubly honored, then,
because the dynamic duo are slated to
return in July, playing back to back parties
for C2 during Pride on Fourth of July
Weekend.
Lehman’s April date is sure to be a hot
ticket, but don’t expect it to be an easy
choice about which dance floor to hit that
weekend. A stellar lineup of Martin Fry and
Brett Long are scheduled at WETbar,
Atlanta favorite Joe Gauthreaux comes to
the Heretic, and Hector Fonseca lands at the
Bodyshop.
WETbar keeps the party going all season
with hot DJs like Tracy Young and Kio Kio,
and Carioca Productions dances through
Memorial Day with DJ Paulo presiding over
a morning party.
The fun doesn’t stop there, so check out
our calendar of parties to come, and stay
tuned for further details as the dates
approach.
