Social Tuesdays back to Midtown tonight
By Project Q Atlanta
Social Tuesdays wants a little “Steel” in their diet tonight.
The weekly gay networking event moves to a venue it first auditioned in November—Steel Restaurant & Lounge inside Plaza Midtown on West Peachtree. The event starts at 7 p.m. and runs until 11 p.m. Celebrate the new year with drinks and dinner. It’s a fun time of cocktails, conversation and connections.

Social Tuesdays goes bowling for a cause
By Project Q Atlanta
Social Tuesdays is back after a week’s rest and ready to start the New Year’s celebrations a little early.
The gay networking group—ok, it’s a mix of cocktails, conversation and connections—sets down in Ten Pin Alley. The upscale nightspot sits in the heart of Atlantic Station above Dolce Restaurant. So get your pump on at the gym down the street, grab your friends and join the fun this evening. It’ll be a nice warm up to the bigger parties tomorrow.
And the evening has a charitable side, too. There’s a raffle to raise money (and awareness) of Joining Hearts, the 21-year old event that benefits AID Atlanta and Jerusalem House. (The 2009 rendition is set for July 26.)

By Project Q Atlanta
Who loves a winner?
The rugby team from Life University, which in June picked up the USA Rugby Men’s Division I National Championship, is now strutting its stuff on the pages of a new calendar for 2009.
Six teammates—Nolte (January), Aaron (February), Ben (March), Nathan (July), Mark (November) and Kendrick (December)—popped into Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse on Saturday and were good sports about pitching the “Div I National Rugby Champions” calendar. A portion of the proceeds from the calendar benefit Susan G. Komen For the Cure, which is a leader in the fight against breast cancer.
