‘Queens on the Green’ take over Piedmont Park after that other park film series was canceled

Queens on the Green take over Piedmont Park after that other park film series was canceled

There will be no Screen on the Green this year because, well, Piedmont Park is busy with other stuff and there’s that pesky sponsorship issue that has plagued the popular film series for a few years after some people were wounded by real-live gunfire , not the kind in movies. But have no fear, some in Atlanta’s gay community — as in the Evolution Project — is picking up the slack and will screen “The Devil Wears Prada” on Sunday at sunset as part of its new “Queens on the Green” series. And what better “Queens on the Green”… >>

Gay funnyman Leslie Jordan returns to Atlanta for ‘Stories I Can’t Tell Mama’

Lily Tomlin gave gay comic Leslie Jordan some sage advice not long ago about his one man shows across the country. She told him no one cared about the sets he often brings along with him – what they wanted to see is him simply tell his stories. He returns to Mixx on Thursday to do just that with his new show, “Stories I Can’t Tell Mama.” As he was picking material for his latest appearance in the ATL, Jordan thought about the notion he’s had for a while – that gay men just eventually become their mothers.

Travel: Road trip tips from Atlanta’s queer music darlings

If anyone is an expert in road traveling, it’s Doris Muramatsu. On the road for two weeks at the time with her band Girlyman since early 2001, Muramatsu has seen hundred of thousands of miles of America’s asphalt maze — with bandmates Ty Greenstein, Nate Borofsky and newest member JJ Jones in tow. “We certainly know how to find the best route, how to find good food, and how to Priceline 3.5- to 4-star hotels for $35,” Muramatsu says. “When you travel as much as we do, you learn how to make the road work for you in a more streamlined… >>

Travel: LGBT campsites offer inexpensive, casual summertime fun

For those looking to escape the grind, smog and congestion of the city in summer, a number of gay-owned Georgia campgrounds offer peaceful, often clothing optional, retreats from the summer heat. But running a campground isn’t easy. Once located near Valdosta, Bobcat Resort Campground closed last year. Another casualty of 2011 was Lumberjacks Camping Resort, in Unadilla, near Macon, but the property has been reborn as Oz Campground, with its grand opening slated for Memorial Day weekend. Rich McTague is one of the new owners. Two gay couples bought Lumberjacks and have set upon improving the campground. >>

Travel: Florida or bust

A road trip to Florida over the Memorial Day holiday weekend has become an annual tradition for LGBT people in the South. The coastal oil spill scare of 2010 seems to be long forgotten as visitors continue to make the trek and pack the beaches and bars. The tradition of gays gathering in Pensacola for the holiday used to be male-oriented, but women’s parties have become so prevalent, they actually compete against each other over the jam-packed weekend. Owners of the Atlanta-based lesbian bar My Sister’s Room are involved in one of the premiere Pensacola parties, Sexacola Beach… >>
