HeyDay Atlanta’s ’80s Party

All hail the IRL 3D dance party! “Heyday is BACK! Who’s vaccinated and ready to dance? We are!

“If you are too, flash us your vax card (or a pic of it on your phone), and we’ll buy you a shot for getting your shot. Shots for shots! Because we love vaccines. And free drinks. And you. And ’80s music.” — Nonsense ATL

What doesn’t matter: race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or level of dance skill. What does matter:  Age 21+, capacity, limited tix will be available at the door. If you purchase a ticket in advance and feel unwell or think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, simply contact Nonsense ATL for a no-questions-asked refund. This comeback party starts at 9 p.m., an hour earlier than usual, to make up for a freaking YEAR Y’ALL of lost dance time.

21+ / 9 p.m. / Kimber is the DJ / Masks required for entry.

And So We Begin: Community Mural Project Artist Talk

The Community Mural Project has gathered creatives from numerous disciplines to present a multitude of perspectives of Atlanta’s future and is the commencement of the Atlanta Futurists. Atlanta futurism is an imagined community of creators that make the art that creates, celebrates, and documents lived experiences and imagined futures for a more equitable and inclusive future where everyone has the room to breathe and be. Through a mutual interest in archiving, this conversation gathers together artists whose contributions to the mural expand our understanding of Atlanta’s infrastructure, erasure, and art as a healing practice.

This conversation will be moderated by Jasmine Wilson and include panelists Magda Dumitrescu, King Barnes, and Chanell Angeli.

Future Atlanta Opening

There’s a new club downtown, and it claims to be “The Future of Atlanta nightlife and entertainment.” It’s the resurgence of gay Atlanta club nightlife, just before Pride month 2021, with weekly drag cabaret.

More deets to come. Official times announced on future-atlanta.com.

BAYWITCH: A Goth Beach Party at Mary’s

“It’s WORLD GOTH DAY, so come dance to gothy bops at BAYWITCH: Goth Beach Party!” This day party (unusual for Mary’s), is hosted by Neon Horror, a design company that, according to their FB page, “is dedicated to the amazing and sparkling train wreck we call POP CULTURE!!”   

“Hopefully we are all Vax4Vax by this date, so come have a great time with your Mary’s fam while you get groovy and gothy! There will be lots of surprises in store including a FREE GIFT!”

Free / 3 p.m.-7 p.m.

Femme Jazz Funk Dance Class

Dancing is the most fun way to move the body, period, end of story, just hush and try it. Fact, most of us aren’t professional dancers, which doesn’t matter whatsoever in Chantel Serita’s Saturday Zoom classes. “You’re not the only one who struggles to confidently dance and take up space. I’m here to tell you that ANYONE can dance! Femme Jazz Funk vibes are all about leaving judgmental thoughts behind (and) finding harmony of mind and body through dance.

“You’ll leave class feeling energized and ready to take on the rest of your day, free of self-criticizing thoughts, more confident in your feminine (compassionate) energy. Let’s come together and set some positive Femme vibes by finding harmony of mind and body through dance.”

Chantel Serita is a professional teaching artist and former gymnast. She specializes in hip-hop and is inspired by dance styles from the African diaspora such as dancehall and Afrobeats. Chantel believes in finding harmony of mind and body through movement. Her classes are a reflection of these styles. “Put on your best dancing outfit, and join us on Zoom for Femme Jazz Funk, honey!”

Not vaccinated? Still at risk for going out? Don’t fret, sweat — via Zoom every Saturday at 1 p.m. If you register outside of eventbrite, be sure to email chantelserita@gmail..com for the Zoom link. Register through eventbrite at:

www.femmejazzfunk.eventbrite.com OR send payment to: Zelle: chantelserita at gmail.com / PayPal: PayPal.me/chantelserita / Cashapp: $chantel1122

BOSSA :

There’s no date or time bc these events are kept on the DL until days before. An intentional move by DEF Atlanta to keep things underground. Define Everything Future is a group of artists, activists, and visionaries that popped up on IG back in 2018 @defglobal and became an instant source for offline raves.

Last month, the organizers had a massive turnout at a secret tunnel location in southeast Atlanta. Wanna get in the loop? Text CREW to 404-737-1163 to get event info before they announce the next pop-up rave publicly. Rumor has it MARTA is the next stop. 

New in Town

Puttshack

West Midtown has become Atlanta’s hub for adult activities. Starting with Ormsby’s massive basement game rooms, then the addition of The Painted Duck’s bougie adult indoor fun park, to Top Golf, and now, Puttshack. Caddy-corner to Ormsby’s, there’s a building so new, we didn’t know it existed. It’s called The Interlock, and it’s home to putt-putt courses that resemble games of our youth, like beer pong and Skee-Ball. The difference is you’ll be hitting a microchipped golf ball with your name and score attached into giant solo cups with a putter. 

“We’ve rewritten the rules of mini golf — pairing modern tech with crazy courses and cool vibes with game faces for one hell of a good time.” — Puttshack and the founders of Top Golf. (Puttshack was founded by “Adam Breeden, founder of Acebounce and co-founder of Flight Club and Steve and Dave Jolliffe, founders of Top Golf.” http://emergingconcepts.com/portfolio/puttshack/)

The whole place is the definition of Instagrammable. From the multiple courses covering two floors, to the large patio deck overlooking 14th and Howell Mill, to the literally smoking cocktails that come out in a treasure chest — and the food slaps pretty hard too. Great for all ages, families, friends, work groups, and really any HUMAN gatherings, which can’t come soon enough.

The Ten Spot

There’s a new bar in town. This one hydrates from the outside without breaking the bank or your schedule. THE TEN SPOT calls themselves the original anti-spa beauty bar, providing guests with a new option for efficient, yet impeccably executed beauty services with an unpretentious vibe, in a spotless environment.

Yes, it’s a chain! But it’s so cute, bright, happy with head-to-toe orange ambiance! It’s a welcoming, clean environment, offering laser hair removal, waxing, nails, facials, brow and lash tinting, and perfect for any age or any gender. We recommend the quickie facial for $60, bc it shouldn’t cost a stack to have one put the lotion on its skin. —CL—"

The “new moves” recommended in this column are to be consumed at your own risk — preferably while wearing a mask.

Cute plague trends to keep on a soon-to-be post-pandemic planet:  Hand washing/sanitizer everywhere, personal space, masks are fashun too, stay cashless, delivery of everything, working from home, j.o.m.o. — the joy of missing out. And let’s thank QR codes for making the comeback of the century.

Curated below are both on and offline happenings this month in the A. Read on for the tea, spring pandemic bunnies.

HeyDay Atlanta’s ’80s Party

All hail the IRL 3D dance party! “Heyday is BACK! Who’s vaccinated and ready to dance? We are!

And So We Begin: Community Mural Project Artist Talk

The Community Mural Project has gathered creatives from numerous disciplines to present a multitude of perspectives of Atlanta’s future and is the commencement of the Atlanta Futurists. Atlanta futurism is an imagined community of creators that make the art that creates, celebrates, and documents lived experiences and imagined futures for a more equitable and inclusive future where everyone has the room to breathe and be. Through a mutual interest in archiving, this conversation gathers together artists whose contributions to the mural expand our understanding of Atlanta’s infrastructure, erasure, and art as a healing practice.

This conversation will be moderated by Jasmine Wilson and include panelists Magda Dumitrescu, King Barnes, and Chanell Angeli.

Free / 3 p.m.-7 p.m.

Femme Jazz Funk Dance Class

Dancing is the most fun way to move the body, period, end of story, just hush and try it. Fact, most of us aren’t professional dancers, which doesn’t matter whatsoever in Chantel Serita’s Saturday Zoom classes. “You’re not the only one who struggles to confidently dance and take up space. I’m here to tell you that ANYONE can dance! Femme Jazz Funk vibes are all about leaving judgmental thoughts behind (and) finding harmony of mind and body through dance.

“You’ll leave class feeling energized and ready to take on the rest of your day, free of self-criticizing thoughts, more confident in your feminine (compassionate) energy. Let’s come together and set some positive Femme vibes by finding harmony of mind and body through dance.”

Chantel Serita is a professional teaching artist and former gymnast. She specializes in hip-hop and is inspired by dance styles from the African diaspora such as dancehall and Afrobeats. Chantel believes in finding harmony of mind and body through movement. Her classes are a reflection of these styles. “Put on your best dancing outfit, and join us on Zoom for Femme Jazz Funk, honey!”

Not vaccinated? Still at risk for going out? Don’t fret, sweat — via Zoom every Saturday at 1 p.m. If you register outside of eventbrite, be sure to email chantelserita@gmail..com for the Zoom link. Register through eventbrite at:

BOSSA :

There’s no date or time bc these events are kept on the DL until days before. An intentional move by DEF Atlanta to keep things underground. Define Everything Future is a group of artists, activists, and visionaries that popped up on IG back in 2018 @defglobal and became an instant source for offline raves.

Last month, the organizers had a massive turnout at a secret tunnel location in southeast Atlanta. Wanna get in the loop? Text CREW to 404-737-1163 to get event info before they announce the next pop-up rave publicly. Rumor has it MARTA is the next stop. 

New in Town

Puttshack

West Midtown has become Atlanta’s hub for adult activities. Starting with Ormsby’s massive basement game rooms, then the addition of The Painted Duck’s bougie adult indoor fun park, to Top Golf, and now, Puttshack. Caddy-corner to Ormsby’s, there’s a building so new, we didn’t know it existed. It’s called The Interlock, and it’s home to putt-putt courses that resemble games of our youth, like beer pong and Skee-Ball. The difference is you’ll be hitting a microchipped golf ball with your name and score attached into giant solo cups with a putter. 

“We’ve rewritten the rules of mini golf — pairing modern tech with crazy courses and cool vibes with game faces for one hell of a good time.” — Puttshack and the founders of Top Golf. (Puttshack was founded by “Adam Breeden, founder of Acebounce and co-founder of Flight Club and Steve and Dave Jolliffe, founders of Top Golf.” http://emergingconcepts.com/portfolio/puttshack/)

The whole place is the definition of Instagrammable. From the multiple courses covering two floors, to the large patio deck overlooking 14th and Howell Mill, to the literally smoking cocktails that come out in a treasure chest — and the food slaps pretty hard too. Great for all ages, families, friends, work groups, and really any HUMAN gatherings, which can’t come soon enough.

The Ten Spot

There’s a new bar in town. This one hydrates from the outside without breaking the bank or your schedule. THE TEN SPOT calls themselves the original anti-spa beauty bar, providing guests with a new option for efficient, yet impeccably executed beauty services with an unpretentious vibe, in a spotless environment.

Yes, it’s a chain! But it’s so cute, bright, happy with head-to-toe orange ambiance! It’s a welcoming, clean environment, offering laser hair removal, waxing, nails, facials, brow and lash tinting, and perfect for any age or any gender. We recommend the quickie facial for $60, bc it shouldn’t cost a stack to have one put the lotion on its skin. —CL—    OH SNAP KID NOTHIN’ LIKE THE REAL THING: Nonsense ATL is bringing the party offline again, twice monthly at the Basement in East Atlanta Village.  0,0,10    themove                       THE MOVE: Plan Accordingly - May 2021 "

!!The Move’s visual artist to follow — George Baker III

Lucky us, this artist (@GFB3 on Insta.) has stayed busy in 2020. Baker just finished the mural dripping down the front of the new Slutty Vegan location on Edgewood Avenue. Just before that, he was part of Dashboard’s recent exhibit, “In Light,” “an open air art exhibit exploring themes of connection in times of uncertainty.” But we’re most excited about the massive BLM mural now living in front of Decatur High.

“We had over 500 community members volunteer with us to paint every last square inch of this piece, and, to be honest, I was amazed by the willingness to help. The stories I heard, the tears I’ve seen from my peers, and the smiling faces of the everyday people is definitely something I’ll take with me forever. Every push of this boulder up the hill towards a new day helps us get there. We don’t know what will cause the spark, but we must continue to start as many fires as possible.” — George Baker III

!!Southern Fried Queer Pride

SFQP receives recurring mentions in The Move — for far too many more reasons than will fit in this box — proving why you should fund a black-owned queer community space: When the queers win, everyone benefits. Creative inspiration usually starts in queer communities. Black drag queens invented camp and, therefore, all we hold holy. Southern Fried Queer Pride has been bringing the love for years and is finally close to having a physical location — with the help of your donations. A space much needed with indie, DIY favs like The Bakery and Mammal Gallery, no longer options.

SFQP gives direct access to social, human, and financial capital to communities who have been systematically denied these resources, and they curate immersive and intentional user-center programming, as well as incubate accessible and robust leadership for emerging artists and leaders in the South.

Straight as an arrow? Have no fear. SFQP’s new place will be a safe space for all to enjoy, learn, and gain inspo. Keep the deep-fried liberation alive by becoming a monthly donor. Donation amt is pay what you can, a established theme in SFQP’s mission.

Wussy Mag’s virtual telethons have been raising cash for queer artists since the early days of COVID outbreaks with their “Big Ass Telethon to End Metronormativity” streaming on Twitch.tv. “So far, we have raised over $15k in mutual aid, 100% of which has gone directly into the pockets of rural Queer artists, performers, and collectives.” — Jon Dean, Wussy Mag creator.

The content doesn’t stop there. Wussy Mag is producing a new online series, "Southern Black Trans Lives Matter," with moderators Taylor Alxndr of Southern Fried Queer Pride; Jesse Pratt López, founder of the Homeless Black Trans women fund; and Cortez Wright from the Southern Center for Human Rights. In this episode, the panel discusses what it looks like to begin to see long-term partners engaged in the liberation of their work for trans folks in Atlanta.

!!Dad’s Garage

If you’re a reggae — that means a regular MOVE reader — y’all already kno she loves her some IRL LOLs at Dad’s Garage. Old normal: Gather at an abandoned church turned Dad’s Garage comedy club, watch for a few hours, laugh, cry, go home. New normal: The show must go on(line) streaming via Twitch, meaning you don’t have to leave your bed, couch, or even golden throne. (gross, tho).

“(Dad’s Garage) founded in the summer of 1995 by a group of wacky college kids who wanted to make theater they couldn't see anywhere else. Since then, we've grown to a large, professional (-ish) organization of entertainers, designers, and administrators.” — Dad’s Garage.

If minor snickers just aren’t cutting it anymore, and you’re depressed AF, Dad’s Garage Twitch account streams on the reg and offers a subscription for $4.99/mo, not required, just a cool way to support the most funniest! nonprofit in ATL. Don’t turn to the The Move for tax advice, but maybe it’s a write-off seeing as Dad’s is a not-for-profit?

!!Save Our Stages!

The Move caught up with local mega promoter Josh Antenucci of Rival Entertainment to ask about the future of our venues, now empty due to the virus.

“There were a lot of independent venues and promoters that were screwed with nowhere to turn for help. The common bond of the severity of our situation was unifying, and, led by a handful of badasses with extra time on their hands and their livelihoods at stake, NIVA (National Independent Venue Association) was born.” — Josh Antenucci

What can folx at home do to help?

“Go to www.SaveOurStages.com and keep the messages flowing. Even better, call or email your senators and let them know how live music plays a role in your life, your job, and of course, your spending in Georgia,” Antenucci continues. “They need to understand that for every $1 spent at a music venue, $12 more is spent at restaurants, bars, hotels, and retail in the area. Live music is an economic multiplier, and if we go down, the whole block might, too.”

Atlanta would be thanking Rival Entertainment for bringing Phish to Piedmont Park for two nights, Candler Park Fest, and 400+ shows at Center Stage/The Loft/Vinyl this year if it weren’t for COVID-19. It only took seeing his first concert, Run DMC, and the Beastie Boys’ Together Forever Tour in 1987, for Antenucci to kick off a career now responsible for producing shows well into the five figures (his estimate). The least we can do is email and call our elected officials to make sure we get the possibility of thousands more.

!!The Groove ATL

Keeping our energies up!

One of ATL’s longest-running, favorite parties, The Groove, hasn’t slowed down in 2020.  DJ Wally Sparks and Xavier Blk are still supplying good vibes weekly and virtually on Twitch.tv. House music is best enjoyed with others and its magic makes folx gravitate towards each other. Since we can’t absorb each other’s energies in public, take to the screen, connect to a Bluetooth, or pop in your ear buds and simply groove inside — until the china shakes.

“We’ll be hosting our event @thegrooveatl Thursday Sept. 5, Friday, Oct. 30, and Friday, Nov. 27, on @clubhouse_global. They’re one of the leading live-streaming platforms that have surfaced over the course of the past few months … This is the first time they’ll be featuring an ATL-based party ❤️.” — Xavier Blk

Rumor has it, there will be a game-show element coming to these grooves.

!!Free99Fridge

Step up and join the do-gooders


The Free99Fridge project was started on July 19, 2020 with a simple mission. “Eating healthy, daily meals shouldn’t be a privilege,” founder Latisha Springer states. This is a mutual aid initiative that is working to establish fridges with pantries all over the greater Atlanta area, open 24/7 and offering free healthy food access, powered by the people.


According to a 2010 USDA study, there are approximately 133 billion pounds and $161 billion worth of food wasted a year. But in ATL, Free99Fridge will lower those numbers by dropping refrigerators in East Lake, West End, Ormewood Park, Reynoldstown, Edgewood, Kirkwood, and the Buford Highway area over the next several months. The West End location was already launched at Best End Brewing (1036 White Street SW) on Friday, August 28.

“Since creating our Instagram (@free99fridge) in mid-July,” Springer says, “we’ve been able to source eight fridges and have started the long process of getting them placed around Atlanta. As this is a large undertaking, we’ve been relying on the support of our neighbors and volunteers through the donations of money, fridges, building materials, and more, to help us build up community — one fridge at a time. Without them, NONE of this would have been possible!”

!!Ecstatic Dance

Remember, nothing is set in stone in 2020, but Ecstatic Dance has been popping up in Candler Park, yes as in real life, when the rain lets up, which it hasn’t. An OG reg on The Move, ED is a place to throw your body around and let it follow the music before your mind catches up. It sounds freeing, bc it is.

We approve this event bc there is plenty of space to move around more than six feet from one another. Legally, masks can’t be required, but without one you shall be mask-shamed by a bunch of noodling hippies. Come as you are, leave ecstatic. Sobriety is not required, but it will help the good vibes seep into your pores more easily.

Check in with Ecstatic Dance Facebook page and DJ Scott Houston for updates.

!!Electric Hospitality

Keeping us fed

Whenever The Move is to Golden Eagle again, ask to sit in Jay’s section. A member of the opening team in 2017, we’ll let him tell you why he’s stayed with Golden Eagle, although the doors have been closed since March 2020.

“At the beginning of the quarantine, Electric Hospitality (the restaurant group that is Golden Eagle, Muchacho, and Ladybird) stayed in close contact with all the employees to make sure we all had access to food and toiletries.

“This went on for a few months, but after everyone got on UI, they expanded into preparing meals for other members of the service industry outside of the restaurant group, and started the nonprofit ATL FAMILY MEAL.

“They do meal deliveries to food insecure members of the service industry, especially folks who are ineligible for UI benefits. For the first few months EH management would personally call each employee to see how we were doing as far as food — and emotionally.” — Jay Norris, server, Golden Eagle.

ATL Family Meal had donated more than 75K meals to hungry hospitality workers. They kept their doors closed and staff safe. Not every restaurant has the financial ability to do so, but if you do, and you haven’t, BYEEEEEEEEEE.

!!Mike + Keke Present:
UPDATE:  RIP Music Room. The heartbeat of Atlanta nightlife will not be reopening. 

 
Our friends at SOS (Music Room, SPKEZ, Bonelick Southern Kitchen) were some of the first to adjust to the dawn of new life in 2020, closing their doors to the public, creating “SOS” pop-ups with dinner packages for bi-weekly pick up, and streaming live events from a now empty dance floor in the basement. Even when their windows were blasted out in the aftermath of Rayshard Brooks’ death, they didn’t blame those involved. “There was tension in the air, and rightly so. Our windows being shot out was something that we certainly did not want to happen, but we understand that sometimes things must get to a boiling point to make them heard. We heard. And we feel very strongly that there is nothing but positivity coming from the BLM movement, and we want to do everything that we can to support the Black artists, musicians and Black-owned businesses in our wonderful city. We consider ourselves part of the BLM movement. If we had to lose a few windows to let someone’s frustration finally be heard, well, then, so be it.” — Keiran Neely, co-owner Music Room, Edgewood SPKEZ, and SOS POP-UP KITCHEN.

Music Room has been running a livestream party every Saturday from 8-11 p.m. on Twitch to help raise funds to pay for the ongoing costs of the venue. Music Room, and life on Edgewood Avenue, inspired the “You’re Welcome” event newsletters that eventually became The Move. They clearly haven’t stopped inspiring.

Wednesday is a rotating fried chicken menu.  Examples: General Tso’s, Nashville Hot, Miso-Brined Wasabi, Korean Fried Chicken. Price $22-28. Fridays, the menu is a rotating internationally-inspired family-style meal to-go. It’s always made from scratch and feeds two+. This is usually a clever, five-course, prix fixe menu that is as entertaining and playful as it is delicious. Examples are the International House of Dumplings (IHOD): a selection of dumplings inspired by classic plates from various countries, none of which are traditional dumplings, but English Fish and Chips Dumplings, or Indian Chicken Tikka Masala Dumplings; The Sitch: a playful take on a Szechuan feast, incorporating local ingredients; and Polylife: A Polynesian-inspired pupu platter, $39.99.

The menu usually sells out each day. To get on the list, email sospopupkitchen at gmail.com to order.

We can expect more changes from SOS. Seeing as “this COVID situation is not going away any time soon, (we) will be making a transition to Mike + Keke Present as more of a permanent change,” Neely tells The Move regarding the future. Ideas are being tossed around, but no definite plans for the location at 327 Edgewood Avenue have been made public.

!!TipTop Proper Cocktails

If the above isn’t enough, and you still need a drink …

Life Hack: Leave the Bota Box behind bc y’all kno that box hides all your feelings — and how much wine you’re drinking. White Claw may look n’ taste like bubbly H20, but it’ll be claws out, lights out, waking up on a MARTA bus OTP … or so we’ve heard. Sidenote: MARTA is free right now!

In 2020, we’ve moved onto a more sophisticated, sanitary, and local way to get a buzz. Atlanta-raised, classy and trashy. Tip Top Cocktails are the balance The Move strives for in daily living. The recipes of bartender and James Beard finalist, Miles Macquarrie (Kimball House, Watchman’s Seafood & Spirits), live in a perfect pour can, weighing in at 100 ML, conveniently canned and TSA-legal, if you must fly rn.

Tip Top Proper Cocktails was founded by two lifelong friends and Atlanta OGs who came from the music industry: Yoni Reisman, who founded the Governor's Ball Music Festival in New York, and Neal Cohen, previously marketing director for Superfly, co-producer of Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, and Comedy Central's “Clusterfest.”

When asked how the coronavirus has affected this young business, co-owner Cohen opened up to The Move. “Considering we're still under a year old, a lot has changed in the past year,” he says, “but certainly COVID-19 has had an impact on business. While people have been picking up Tip Top from liquor stores, we’ve been selling Tip Top as a to-go item at restaurants and hotels. All of the events, bars, and music venues are no longer operating, taking away both great places to sell our product and the best way to get the word out about a new beverage brand. Nonetheless, we keep growing, and have just introduced an eight-pack package, while expanding into Colorado and Texas in August. The pandemic has made canned cocktails an even bigger category. In that respect, we've received a lot of attention as a great solution to contactless beverage service needs and for people at home who don't want to deal with mixing at the end of a long, demoralizing day.”

Tip Top isn’t just about class in a can. They recently participated in the Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice Bake Sale and sponsored the ATL Collective virtual performance of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On? where proceeds went to the Atlanta Music Project.

For ATL ITP, try Green's, Tower, Elemental Spirits, Sun In My Belly, Little Five Points Package Store, My Friend's Bottle Shop, SAVI Provisions, Citi Wine & Spirits, Decatur Package Store, and Toco Giant.

One of ATL’s longest-running, favorite parties, The Groove, hasn’t slowed down in 2020.  [https://instagram.com/djwallysparks?igshid=mg647rbly8dp|DJ Wally Sparks] and [https://instagram.com/xavierblk?igshid=1f7oaxqs43vnm|Xavier Blk] are still supplying good vibes weekly and virtually on [https://www.twitch.tv/thegrooveatl|Twitch.tv]. House music is best enjoyed with others and its magic makes folx gravitate towards each other. Since we can’t absorb each other’s energies in public, take to the screen, connect to a Bluetooth, or pop in your ear buds and simply groove inside — until the china shakes.

“We’ll be hosting our event @thegrooveatl Thursday Sept. 5, Friday, Oct. 30, and Friday, Nov. 27, on @clubhouse_global. They’re one of the leading live-streaming platforms that have surfaced over the course of the past few months … This is the first time they’ll be featuring an ATL-based party ❤️.” — Xavier Blk

Rumor has it, there will be a game-show element coming to these grooves.

The Free99Fridge project was started on July 19, 2020 with a simple mission. “Eating healthy, daily meals shouldn’t be a privilege,” founder Latisha Springer states. This is a mutual aid initiative that is working to establish fridges with pantries all over the greater Atlanta area, open 24/7 and offering free healthy food access, powered by the people.


According to a 2010 USDA study, there are approximately 133 billion pounds and $161 billion worth of food wasted a year. But in ATL, Free99Fridge will lower those numbers by dropping refrigerators in East Lake, West End, Ormewood Park, Reynoldstown, Edgewood, Kirkwood, and the Buford Highway area over the next several months. The West End location was already launched at Best End Brewing (1036 White Street SW) on Friday, August 28.

“Since creating our Instagram ([https://instagram.com/free99fridge?igshid=1u7pyg1hryn0w|@free99fridge]) in mid-July,” Springer says, “we’ve been able to source eight fridges and have started the long process of getting them placed around Atlanta. As this is a large undertaking, we’ve been relying on the support of our neighbors and volunteers through the donations of money, fridges, building materials, and more, to help us build up community — one fridge at a time. Without them, NONE of this would have been possible!”

Remember, nothing is set in stone in 2020, but Ecstatic Dance has been popping up in Candler Park, yes as ''in real life'', when the rain lets up, which it hasn’t. An OG reg on ''The Move'', ED is a place to throw your body around and let it follow the music before your mind catches up. It sounds freeing, bc it is.

We approve this event bc there is plenty of space to move around more than six feet from one another. Legally, masks can’t be required, but without one you shall be mask-shamed by a bunch of noodling hippies. Come as you are, leave ecstatic. Sobriety is not required, but it will help the good vibes seep into your pores more easily.

Check in with Ecstatic Dance [https://www.facebook.com/EcstaticDanceAtlanta/|Facebook page] and [https://www.facebook.com/sbhouston|DJ Scott Houston] for updates.

__''Keeping us fed''__

Whenever ''The Move'' is to [https://instagram.com/goldeneagleatl?igshid=1wfyb8octvqru|Golden Eagle] again, ask to sit in [https://instagram.com/shaken.not.slurred?igshid=9l3irt4s25cf|Jay]’s section. A member of the opening team in 2017, we’ll let him tell you why he’s stayed with Golden Eagle, although the doors have been closed since March 2020.

“At the beginning of the quarantine, [https://www.electric-hospitality.com/|Electric Hospitality] (the restaurant group that is Golden Eagle, Muchacho, and Ladybird) stayed in close contact with all the employees to make sure we all had access to food and toiletries.

“This went on for a few months, but after everyone got on UI, they expanded into preparing meals for other members of the service industry outside of the restaurant group, and started the nonprofit [https://www.atlfamilymeal.org/|ATL FAMILY MEAL.]

“They do meal deliveries to food insecure members of the service industry, especially folks who are ineligible for UI benefits. For the first few months EH management would personally call each employee to see how we were doing as far as food — and emotionally.” — Jay Norris, server, Golden Eagle.

ATL Family Meal had donated more than 75K meals to hungry hospitality workers. They kept their doors closed and staff safe. Not every restaurant has the financial ability to do so, but if you do, and you haven’t, BYEEEEEEEEEE.

UPDATE:  RIP Music Room. The heartbeat of Atlanta nightlife will not be reopening. 

 
Our friends at SOS (Music Room, SPKEZ, Bonelick Southern Kitchen) were some of the first to adjust to the dawn of new life in 2020, closing their doors to the public, creating “SOS” pop-ups with dinner packages for bi-weekly pick up, and streaming live events from a now empty dance floor in the basement. Even when their windows were blasted out in the aftermath of Rayshard Brooks’ death, they didn’t blame those involved. “There was tension in the air, and rightly so. Our windows being shot out was something that we certainly did not want to happen, but we understand that sometimes things must get to a boiling point to make them heard. We heard. And we feel very strongly that there is nothing but positivity coming from the BLM movement, and we want to do everything that we can to support the Black artists, musicians and Black-owned businesses in our wonderful city. We consider ourselves part of the BLM movement. If we had to lose a few windows to let someone’s frustration finally be heard, well, then, so be it.” — Keiran Neely, co-owner Music Room, Edgewood SPKEZ, and SOS POP-UP KITCHEN.

Music Room has been running a livestream party every Saturday from 8-11 p.m. on Twitch to help raise funds to pay for the ongoing costs of the venue. Music Room, and life on Edgewood Avenue, inspired the “You’re Welcome” event newsletters that eventually became ''The Move''. They clearly haven’t stopped inspiring.

Wednesday is a rotating fried chicken menu.  Examples: General Tso’s, Nashville Hot, Miso-Brined Wasabi, Korean Fried Chicken. Price $22-28. Fridays, the menu is a rotating internationally-inspired family-style meal to-go. It’s always made from scratch and feeds two+. This is usually a clever, five-course, prix fixe menu that is as entertaining and playful as it is delicious. Examples are the International House of Dumplings (IHOD): a selection of dumplings inspired by classic plates from various countries, none of which are traditional dumplings, but English Fish and Chips Dumplings, or Indian Chicken Tikka Masala Dumplings; The Sitch: a playful take on a Szechuan feast, incorporating local ingredients; and Polylife: A Polynesian-inspired pupu platter, $39.99.

The menu usually sells out each day. To get on the list, email sospopupkitchen@gmail.com to order.

We can expect more changes from SOS. Seeing as “this COVID situation is not going away any time soon, (we) will be making a transition to Mike + Keke Present as more of a permanent change,” Neely tells ''The Move'' regarding the future. Ideas are being tossed around, but no definite plans for the location at 327 Edgewood Avenue have been made public.

__''If the above isn’t enough, and you still need a drink …''__

Life Hack: Leave the Bota Box behind bc y’all kno that box hides all your feelings — and how much wine you’re drinking. White Claw may look n’ taste like bubbly H20, but it’ll be claws out, lights out, waking up on a MARTA bus OTP … or so we’ve heard. ''Sidenote: MARTA is free right now!''

In 2020, we’ve moved onto a more sophisticated, sanitary, and local way to get a buzz. Atlanta-raised, classy and trashy. Tip Top Cocktails are the balance ''The Move'' strives for in daily living. The recipes of bartender and James Beard finalist, Miles Macquarrie (Kimball House, Watchman’s Seafood & Spirits), live in a perfect pour can, weighing in at 100 ML, conveniently canned and TSA-legal, if you must fly rn.

[https://tiptopcocktails.com/|Tip Top] Proper Cocktails was founded by two lifelong friends and Atlanta OGs who came from the music industry: Yoni Reisman, who founded the Governor's Ball Music Festival in New York, and Neal Cohen, previously marketing director for Superfly, co-producer of Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, and Comedy Central's “Clusterfest.”

When asked how the coronavirus has affected this young business, co-owner Cohen opened up to ''The Move''. “Considering we're still under a year old, a lot has changed in the past year,” he says, “but certainly COVID-19 has had an impact on business. While people have been picking up Tip Top from liquor stores, we’ve been selling Tip Top as a to-go item at restaurants and hotels. All of the events, bars, and music venues are no longer operating, taking away both great places to sell our product and the best way to get the word out about a new beverage brand. Nonetheless, we keep growing, and have just introduced an eight-pack package, while expanding into Colorado and Texas in August. The pandemic has made canned cocktails an even bigger category. In that respect, we've received a lot of attention as a great solution to contactless beverage service needs and for people at home who don't want to deal with mixing at the end of a long, demoralizing day.”

Tip Top isn’t just about class in a can. They recently participated in the Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice Bake Sale and sponsored the ATL Collective virtual performance of Marvin Gaye's ''What's Going On?'' where proceeds went to the Atlanta Music Project.

For ATL ITP, try Green's, Tower, Elemental Spirits, Sun In My Belly, Little Five Points Package Store, My Friend's Bottle Shop, SAVI Provisions, Citi Wine & Spirits, Decatur Package Store, and Toco Giant.

And nearly 200,000 Americans have died since March due to the coronavirus. We should all miss the days when we had to sleep with a stranger to get a virus.

We must, however, keep moving forward. The Move talked to some of our regular movers and shakers to discover not only how everyone is adjusting to the new life, but making the world better than it was.

Read on to lubricate the mind and learn about the dance clubs that are feeding doses of safe energies to the public, the restaurant owners n’ do-gooders who’ve survived beyond one stimulus check (signed Donald), and those making sure the safety of Black lives isn’t just a trend in 2020.

Speaking of which, if you have disposable income, and haven’t been donating to organizations workjing with Black, Indigenous, people of color — it’s 2020! Get creative with your donations, ask friends to chip in, maybe even sell your blood diamonds.

Disclaimer: Cancelations due to the urgent response of Black Lives Matter protests or coronavirus pandemic outbreaks highly possible, please confirm events online.

!!The Move’s visual artist to follow — George Baker III

Lucky us, this artist (@GFB3 on Insta.) has stayed busy in 2020. Baker just finished the mural dripping down the front of the new Slutty Vegan location on Edgewood Avenue. Just before that, he was part of Dashboard’s recent exhibit, “In Light,” “an open air art exhibit exploring themes of connection in times of uncertainty.” But we’re most excited about the massive BLM mural now living in front of Decatur High.

“We had over 500 community members volunteer with us to paint every last square inch of this piece, and, to be honest, I was amazed by the willingness to help. The stories I heard, the tears I’ve seen from my peers, and the smiling faces of the everyday people is definitely something I’ll take with me forever. Every push of this boulder up the hill towards a new day helps us get there. We don’t know what will cause the spark, but we must continue to start as many fires as possible.” — George Baker III

!!Southern Fried Queer Pride

SFQP receives recurring mentions in The Move — for far too many more reasons than will fit in this box — proving why you should fund a black-owned queer community space: When the queers win, everyone benefits. Creative inspiration usually starts in queer communities. Black drag queens invented camp and, therefore, all we hold holy. Southern Fried Queer Pride has been bringing the love for years and is finally close to having a physical location — with the help of your donations. A space much needed with indie, DIY favs like The Bakery and Mammal Gallery, no longer options.

SFQP gives direct access to social, human, and financial capital to communities who have been systematically denied these resources, and they curate immersive and intentional user-center programming, as well as incubate accessible and robust leadership for emerging artists and leaders in the South.

Straight as an arrow? Have no fear. SFQP’s new place will be a safe space for all to enjoy, learn, and gain inspo. Keep the deep-fried liberation alive by becoming a monthly donor. Donation amt is pay what you can, a established theme in SFQP’s mission.

Wussy Mag’s virtual telethons have been raising cash for queer artists since the early days of COVID outbreaks with their “Big Ass Telethon to End Metronormativity” streaming on Twitch.tv. “So far, we have raised over $15k in mutual aid, 100% of which has gone directly into the pockets of rural Queer artists, performers, and collectives.” — Jon Dean, Wussy Mag creator.

The content doesn’t stop there. Wussy Mag is producing a new online series, "Southern Black Trans Lives Matter," with moderators Taylor Alxndr of Southern Fried Queer Pride; Jesse Pratt López, founder of the Homeless Black Trans women fund; and Cortez Wright from the Southern Center for Human Rights. In this episode, the panel discusses what it looks like to begin to see long-term partners engaged in the liberation of their work for trans folks in Atlanta.

!!Dad’s Garage

If you’re a reggae — that means a regular MOVE reader — y’all already kno she loves her some IRL LOLs at Dad’s Garage. Old normal: Gather at an abandoned church turned Dad’s Garage comedy club, watch for a few hours, laugh, cry, go home. New normal: The show must go on(line) streaming via Twitch, meaning you don’t have to leave your bed, couch, or even golden throne. (gross, tho).

“(Dad’s Garage) founded in the summer of 1995 by a group of wacky college kids who wanted to make theater they couldn't see anywhere else. Since then, we've grown to a large, professional (-ish) organization of entertainers, designers, and administrators.” — Dad’s Garage.

If minor snickers just aren’t cutting it anymore, and you’re depressed AF, Dad’s Garage Twitch account streams on the reg and offers a subscription for $4.99/mo, not required, just a cool way to support the most funniest! nonprofit in ATL. Don’t turn to the The Move for tax advice, but maybe it’s a write-off seeing as Dad’s is a not-for-profit?

Donate and Streaming.

!!Save Our Stages!

The Move caught up with local mega promoter Josh Antenucci of Rival Entertainment to ask about the future of our venues, now empty due to the virus.

“There were a lot of independent venues and promoters that were screwed with nowhere to turn for help. The common bond of the severity of our situation was unifying, and, led by a handful of badasses with extra time on their hands and their livelihoods at stake, NIVA (National Independent Venue Association) was born.” — Josh Antenucci

What can folx at home do to help?

“Go to www.SaveOurStages.com and keep the messages flowing. Even better, call or email your senators and let them know how live music plays a role in your life, your job, and of course, your spending in Georgia,” Antenucci continues. “They need to understand that for every $1 spent at a music venue, $12 more is spent at restaurants, bars, hotels, and retail in the area. Live music is an economic multiplier, and if we go down, the whole block might, too.”

Atlanta would be thanking Rival Entertainment for bringing Phish to Piedmont Park for two nights, Candler Park Fest, and 400+ shows at Center Stage/The Loft/Vinyl this year if it weren’t for COVID-19. It only took seeing his first concert, Run DMC, and the Beastie Boys’ Together Forever Tour in 1987, for Antenucci to kick off a career now responsible for producing shows well into the five figures (his estimate). The least we can do is email and call our elected officials to make sure we get the possibility of thousands more.

!!The Groove ATL

Keeping our energies up!

One of ATL’s longest-running, favorite parties, The Groove, hasn’t slowed down in 2020.  DJ Wally Sparks and Xavier Blk are still supplying good vibes weekly and virtually on Twitch.tv. House music is best enjoyed with others and its magic makes folx gravitate towards each other. Since we can’t absorb each other’s energies in public, take to the screen, connect to a Bluetooth, or pop in your ear buds and simply groove inside — until the china shakes.

“We’ll be hosting our event @thegrooveatl Thursday Sept. 5, Friday, Oct. 30, and Friday, Nov. 27, on @clubhouse_global. They’re one of the leading live-streaming platforms that have surfaced over the course of the past few months … This is the first time they’ll be featuring an ATL-based party ❤️.” — Xavier Blk

Rumor has it, there will be a game-show element coming to these grooves.

The West End location was already launched at Best End Brewing (1036 White Street SW) on Friday, August 28.

“Since creating our Instagram (@free99fridge) in mid-July,” Springer says, “we’ve been able to source eight fridges and have started the long process of getting them placed around Atlanta. As this is a large undertaking, we’ve been relying on the support of our neighbors and volunteers through the donations of money, fridges, building materials, and more, to help us build up community — one fridge at a time. Without them, NONE of this would have been possible!”

!!Ecstatic Dance

Remember, nothing is set in stone in 2020, but Ecstatic Dance has been popping up in Candler Park, yes as in real life, when the rain lets up, which it hasn’t. An OG reg on The Move, ED is a place to throw your body around and let it follow the music before your mind catches up. It sounds freeing, bc it is.

We approve this event bc there is plenty of space to move around more than six feet from one another. Legally, masks can’t be required, but without one you shall be mask-shamed by a bunch of noodling hippies. Come as you are, leave ecstatic. Sobriety is not required, but it will help the good vibes seep into your pores more easily.

Check in with Ecstatic Dance Facebook page and DJ Scott Houston for updates.

!!Electric Hospitality

Keeping us fed

Whenever The Move is to Golden Eagle again, ask to sit in Jay’s section. A member of the opening team in 2017, we’ll let him tell you why he’s stayed with Golden Eagle, although the doors have been closed since March 2020.

“At the beginning of the quarantine, Electric Hospitality (the restaurant group that is Golden Eagle, Muchacho, and Ladybird) stayed in close contact with all the employees to make sure we all had access to food and toiletries.

“This went on for a few months, but after everyone got on UI, they expanded into preparing meals for other members of the service industry outside of the restaurant group, and started the nonprofit ATL FAMILY MEAL.

“They do meal deliveries to food insecure members of the service industry, especially folks who are ineligible for UI benefits. For the first few months EH management would personally call each employee to see how we were doing as far as food — and emotionally.” — Jay Norris, server, Golden Eagle.

ATL Family Meal had donated more than 75K meals to hungry hospitality workers. They kept their doors closed and staff safe. Not every restaurant has the financial ability to do so, but if you do, and you haven’t, BYEEEEEEEEEE.

!!Mike + Keke Present:
UPDATE:  RIP Music Room. The heartbeat of Atlanta nightlife will not be reopening. 

 
Our friends at SOS (Music Room, SPKEZ, Bonelick Southern Kitchen) were some of the first to adjust to the dawn of new life in 2020, closing their doors to the public, creating “SOS” pop-ups with dinner packages for bi-weekly pick up, and streaming live events from a now empty dance floor in the basement. Even when their windows were blasted out in the aftermath of Rayshard Brooks’ death, they didn’t blame those involved. “There was tension in the air, and rightly so. Our windows being shot out was something that we certainly did not want to happen, but we understand that sometimes things must get to a boiling point to make them heard. We heard. And we feel very strongly that there is nothing but positivity coming from the BLM movement, and we want to do everything that we can to support the Black artists, musicians and Black-owned businesses in our wonderful city. We consider ourselves part of the BLM movement. If we had to lose a few windows to let someone’s frustration finally be heard, well, then, so be it.” — Keiran Neely, co-owner Music Room, Edgewood SPKEZ, and SOS POP-UP KITCHEN.

Music Room has been running a livestream party every Saturday from 8-11 p.m. on Twitch to help raise funds to pay for the ongoing costs of the venue. Music Room, and life on Edgewood Avenue, inspired the “You’re Welcome” event newsletters that eventually became The Move. They clearly haven’t stopped inspiring.

Wednesday is a rotating fried chicken menu.  Examples: General Tso’s, Nashville Hot, Miso-Brined Wasabi, Korean Fried Chicken. Price $22-28. Fridays, the menu is a rotating internationally-inspired family-style meal to-go. It’s always made from scratch and feeds two+. This is usually a clever, five-course, prix fixe menu that is as entertaining and playful as it is delicious. Examples are the International House of Dumplings (IHOD): a selection of dumplings inspired by classic plates from various countries, none of which are traditional dumplings, but English Fish and Chips Dumplings, or Indian Chicken Tikka Masala Dumplings; The Sitch: a playful take on a Szechuan feast, incorporating local ingredients; and Polylife: A Polynesian-inspired pupu platter, $39.99.

The menu usually sells out each day. To get on the list, email sospopupkitchen at gmail.com to order.

We can expect more changes from SOS. Seeing as “this COVID situation is not going away any time soon, (we) will be making a transition to Mike + Keke Present as more of a permanent change,” Neely tells The Move regarding the future. Ideas are being tossed around, but no definite plans for the location at 327 Edgewood Avenue have been made public.

!!TipTop Proper Cocktails

If the above isn’t enough, and you still need a drink …

Life Hack: Leave the Bota Box behind bc y’all kno that box hides all your feelings — and how much wine you’re drinking. White Claw may look n’ taste like bubbly H20, but it’ll be claws out, lights out, waking up on a MARTA bus OTP … or so we’ve heard. Sidenote: MARTA is free right now!

In 2020, we’ve moved onto a more sophisticated, sanitary, and local way to get a buzz. Atlanta-raised, classy and trashy. Tip Top Cocktails are the balance The Move strives for in daily living. The recipes of bartender and James Beard finalist, Miles Macquarrie (Kimball House, Watchman’s Seafood & Spirits), live in a perfect pour can, weighing in at 100 ML, conveniently canned and TSA-legal, if you must fly rn.

Tip Top Proper Cocktails was founded by two lifelong friends and Atlanta OGs who came from the music industry: Yoni Reisman, who founded the Governor's Ball Music Festival in New York, and Neal Cohen, previously marketing director for Superfly, co-producer of Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, and Comedy Central's “Clusterfest.”

When asked how the coronavirus has affected this young business, co-owner Cohen opened up to The Move. “Considering we're still under a year old, a lot has changed in the past year,” he says, “but certainly COVID-19 has had an impact on business. While people have been picking up Tip Top from liquor stores, we’ve been selling Tip Top as a to-go item at restaurants and hotels. All of the events, bars, and music venues are no longer operating, taking away both great places to sell our product and the best way to get the word out about a new beverage brand. Nonetheless, we keep growing, and have just introduced an eight-pack package, while expanding into Colorado and Texas in August. The pandemic has made canned cocktails an even bigger category. In that respect, we've received a lot of attention as a great solution to contactless beverage service needs and for people at home who don't want to deal with mixing at the end of a long, demoralizing day.”

Tip Top isn’t just about class in a can. They recently participated in the Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice Bake Sale and sponsored the ATL Collective virtual performance of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On? where proceeds went to the Atlanta Music Project.

For ATL ITP, try Green's, Tower, Elemental Spirits, Sun In My Belly, Little Five Points Package Store, My Friend's Bottle Shop, SAVI Provisions, Citi Wine & Spirits, Decatur Package Store, and Toco Giant.

Didn’t you hear? COVID-19 vanished! Everything is back to normal and Georgia is “open for biz!” Screech. Reality check: COVID-19 didn’t disappear. Below is what’s coming up in the virtual world of disco, art, and underground in ATL.

A pandemic won’t stop national Pride. Atlanta’s most sensational queers prep for festivals, performances, and artist markets on the World Wide Web, mostly social media. Check out Atlanta-based influencer Rigel Gemini’s “Quarantine Playlist” collab with Atlanta Pride on Spotify! No doubt featuring Rigel’s new single “I Can't.” The vid to go with “I Can’t” is adorbs and stars Ru Paul’s Drag Race legend Alyssa Edwards and Creative Loafing 2020 Lust Lister, Brande Elise!

More on music. The Move is listening to a lot of the Pure Moods ’90s tracks, Atlanta favs Lunar Vacation, Material Girls, Lady and Clementine’s Fantastic Party, and Nikki and the Phantom Callers.

Take a stroll back to the turn of the century and watch the Pure Moods commercial. Millennials will remember like it was yesterday. Prep the pitcher bc it’s still ok to drink alone at home without judgment. Oh, and stay sanitary distant, Bithkitz, bc she’s tired of wasting all the vodka on our hands.

WEDNESDAYS AND SUNDAYS P Groove’s Brock Butler cover sets

Unable to tour, yet thriving at home. Every Wednesday and Sunday, Perpetual Groove’s guitarist and lead vocalist Brock Butler covers his fav songs digitally on Busking Down the House. As of mid-May, Butler was up to 190 songs, with zero repeats.

“While I certainly miss the rock shows proper, there is always opportunity to push and be creative with new mediums. Taking time to learn some new covers I’ve always wanted to play and try my hand at pgroove songs that don’t necessarily scream to exist in the solo acoustic realm.”  — Brock Butler

The Busking Down the House Facebook page was born March 13, 2020, to support the music community with performances and virtual tip jars. A whopping 32K members have joined. ”Our goals are to continue to support our artists and crews while continuing to bring you music.” — Busking Down the House.

Full Moon Yoga with Prince & Sade!

My friend and Sacred Thread Yoga owner, Annelise Leal, brings 90-minute gatherings honoring the moons, right to your living room! In June, Prince is the theme under the Strawberry Moon. In July, y’all!, it’ll be a Sade evening honoring the Thunder Moon. Don’t you just love being all privately spiritual and shit right from your home mat — or couch?

P.S. Congrats are in order for our yogi host. Annelise birthed her first child, Khya, at the beginning of the COVID-19 shut downs, at their home in East Atlanta Village! All are well and snuggly looking. I vote to let Khya stay up to honor the moons with us. xxoo. Zoom, $30

Drink & Doodle, June 10 & June 24

ABV Gallery is killing it with the 2020 version of their popular Drink and Doodle event series. Typically, the kewl kidz gather monthly at ABV in Studioplex on the Eastside BeltLine to hang out and watch artists doodle. Anyone in the room can bid on the doodles once completed. Naturally, this gathering has moved online.

A perk of the shutdowns? Drink and Doodle is now twice a month with one night being international. The quarantine company I keep likes to throw the show up on a projector. Add speakers, bc music is fresh. Great if you’re over watching old concerts or subpar Netflix stand-ups. The art is typically affordable, so just bid already!

Grateful Dating — for serious, single Deadheads only!

Are you into composting, brushing with Tom’s, and dancing in the street? Did your 2020 show dosage include 420 Fest, Jerry Day, Phish at Piedmont Park, and perhaps a little Panic? Are you single and looking for someone to turn on your love light? Facebook recommends Grateful Dating — a group for Deadhead singles to swap feelings, and probs granola recipes. There are two passwords before you can cross the bridge into a chat group full of some og woke white folk, AKA hippies. The first, a lyrical trivia question:

“What color was the sky when the sun was blue?” Seriously, this is a Deadhead group. This is a must-answer question.

Hint: The answer lives on the 1974 Grateful Dead album From the Mars Hotel.

Now, The Move isn’t looking for love bc she’s already cookin’ with one sexy noodler, but should you qualify for Grateful Dating, here is what internet hippies will not tolerate: trolling, catfishing, politics, selling, and absolutely zero Jerry vs. Trey, Phish vs. Dead, Jerry vs. John, or cover band baiting. https://www.facebook.com/groups/353011275140619

Dance Party @ Nonsense, Saturday June 13

Keep checking Nonsense ATL for Zoom dance parties. Danceable versions of all your pop stars! Like, literally all of them. Seriously, Karen. Other than dancing, DIY lewks are always encouraged.

Didn’t you hear? COVID-19 vanished! Everything is back to normal and Georgia is “open for biz!” Screech. Reality check: COVID-19 didn’t disappear. Below is what’s coming up in the virtual world of disco, art, and underground in ATL.

A pandemic won’t stop national Pride. Atlanta’s most sensational queers prep for festivals, performances, and artist markets on the World Wide Web, mostly social media. Check out Atlanta-based influencer Rigel Gemini’s “Quarantine Playlist” collab with Atlanta Pride on Spotify! No doubt featuring Rigel’s new single “I Can't.” The vid to go with “I Can’t” is adorbs and stars Ru Paul’s Drag Race legend Alyssa Edwards and Creative Loafing 2020 Lust Lister, Brande Elise!

More on music. The Move is listening to a lot of the Pure Moods ’90s tracks, Atlanta favs Lunar Vacation, Material Girls, Lady and Clementine’s Fantastic Party, and Nikki and the Phantom Callers.

Take a stroll back to the turn of the century and watch the Pure Moods commercial. Millennials will remember like it was yesterday. Prep the pitcher bc it’s still ok to drink alone at home without judgment. Oh, and stay sanitary distant, Bithkitz, bc she’s tired of wasting all the vodka on our hands.

WEDNESDAYS AND SUNDAYS P Groove’s Brock Butler cover sets

Unable to tour, yet thriving at home. Every Wednesday and Sunday, Perpetual Groove’s guitarist and lead vocalist Brock Butler covers his fav songs digitally on Busking Down the House. As of mid-May, Butler was up to 190 songs, with zero repeats.

“While I certainly miss the rock shows proper, there is always opportunity to push and be creative with new mediums. Taking time to learn some new covers I’ve always wanted to play and try my hand at pgroove songs that don’t necessarily scream to exist in the solo acoustic realm.”  — Brock Butler

The Busking Down the House Facebook page was born March 13, 2020, to support the music community with performances and virtual tip jars. A whopping 32K members have joined. ”Our goals are to continue to support our artists and crews while continuing to bring you music.” — Busking Down the House.

Full Moon Yoga with Prince & Sade!

My friend and Sacred Thread Yoga owner, Annelise Leal, brings 90-minute gatherings honoring the moons, right to your living room! In June, Prince is the theme under the Strawberry Moon. In July, y’all!, it’ll be a Sade evening honoring the Thunder Moon. Don’t you just love being all privately spiritual and shit right from your home mat — or couch?

P.S. Congrats are in order for our yogi host. Annelise birthed her first child, Khya, at the beginning of the COVID-19 shut downs, at their home in East Atlanta Village! All are well and snuggly looking. I vote to let Khya stay up to honor the moons with us. xxoo. Zoom, $30

Drink & Doodle, June 10 & June 24

ABV Gallery is killing it with the 2020 version of their popular Drink and Doodle event series. Typically, the kewl kidz gather monthly at ABV in Studioplex on the Eastside BeltLine to hang out and watch artists doodle. Anyone in the room can bid on the doodles once completed. Naturally, this gathering has moved online.

A perk of the shutdowns? Drink and Doodle is now twice a month with one night being international. The quarantine company I keep likes to throw the show up on a projector. Add speakers, bc music is fresh. Great if you’re over watching old concerts or subpar Netflix stand-ups. The art is typically affordable, so just bid already!

Grateful Dating — for serious, single Deadheads only!

Are you into composting, brushing with Tom’s, and dancing in the street? Did your 2020 show dosage include 420 Fest, Jerry Day, Phish at Piedmont Park, and perhaps a little Panic? Are you single and looking for someone to turn on your love light? Facebook recommends Grateful Dating — a group for Deadhead singles to swap feelings, and probs granola recipes. There are two passwords before you can cross the bridge into a chat group full of some og woke white folk, AKA hippies. The first, a lyrical trivia question:

“What color was the sky when the sun was blue?” Seriously, this is a Deadhead group. This is a must-answer question.

Hint: The answer lives on the 1974 Grateful Dead album From the Mars Hotel.

Now, The Move isn’t looking for love bc she’s already cookin’ with one sexy noodler, but should you qualify for Grateful Dating, here is what internet hippies will not tolerate: trolling, catfishing, politics, selling, and absolutely zero Jerry vs. Trey, Phish vs. Dead, Jerry vs. John, or cover band baiting. https://www.facebook.com/groups/353011275140619

Dance Party @ Nonsense, Saturday June 13

Keep checking Nonsense ATL for Zoom dance parties. Danceable versions of all your pop stars! Like, literally all of them. Seriously, Karen. Other than dancing, DIY lewks are always encouraged.

“Grab some toilet paper rolls, bath towels, cardboard boxes, macaroni, whatever and show us what you’ve got.” — Nonsense ATL

Where else can you carb and cardio at the same time? Macaroni tube top, here she comes! https://www.nonsenseatl.com/

The Buffy Hour: Once More, With Distancing, Saturday June 6

”She irons her jeans. She’s evil.” — Buffy

How is she hunty?? She’ll be “five by five” once she gets to THE BUFFY HOUR on Wussy Mag’s twitch.tv. Quarantine hasn’t stopped Wussy Mag from giving the queer community stage time. Here’s the tea ... queer comedy, music, drag, and spoken word all about Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

”We will be dissecting all 7 seasons of this cult favorite, including the highs and lows, heartbreaks and big bads.” — Wussy Mag

Showtime is 9 p.m. EST at twitch.tv/wussymag

“Just cause you’re at home, doesn’t mean you can’t turn a lewk. We encourage your best ’90s fashions, pajama vampwear, Willow sweaters, and Magic Box loungewear. Break out the band candy, host a virtual watch party, and tune in!”

Suggested donation: $10 to PayPal — info at wussymag.com — to be split among performers.

Southern Fried Queer Pride 2020 Online Pop-Up Fest, June 26-27

The Move is tickled to announce Southern Fried Queer Pride 2020 is on(line)! Night one comes spicy with “HAWT SAUCE,” an online dance party. Day 2 will be workshops, an artist market, and a SWEET TEA queer variety show!

Last year, we learned basic cooking skills, DIY pad making, and thrifted our tootsies off. Stay tuned to SFQP’s website for more details on 2020’s virtual offerings.

Warning of side effects: Bloated bank account from an entire year of concert cash yet to be burned. Anxiety over slow internet connections. Consume at your own risk.

Other than the obvious issues and catching my dog’s separation anxiety, there are pros to being on international shut-down. The club bathrooms have improved, assuming you cleaned your toilet recently. Brian Kemp memes went viral. No more group birthday dinners!

The underground isn’t always organized. Throw in a pandemic, and we’re talking a pop-up virtual rager that could slide in your feed at any hour. In the good ole days, The Move intended to get your calendars amped for what’s to come. But that was way back in Q1 of this year. Now that most of us would agree our lives can change at the drop of cough droplets, writing a futuristic events column...well maybe not. Instead, like a true cowgirl, she’s doing things in reverse. Here’s what she’s seen, virtually attended, watched, and created during COVID-19. If you read about an event you like, look ‘em up. They will probably have more parties. Plus, ways you can help good ppl doing some good sh*t.

A shoutout to the do-gooders, and how to join them:

The first call I make when I want to know how to be of service in the communities that need it most is to Activist and Community Leader Liliana Bakhtiari. Think your volunteer hours are impressive? Bakhtiari’s life commitment to public service is GOALS.

During the pandemic, Bakhtiari immediately activated help for Atlanta’s senior community asking for donations for Branan Towers, a high-rise for senior citizens in East Atlanta Village. You can drop off Branan Towers donations — food, cleaning supplies, art activities, puzzles, books, used/refurbished electronics, gift cards, and letters —  at the Argosy take-out table, Wednesday through Sunday, between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Bakhtiari is also working as the Homeless Emergency Response Coordinator at Partners for HOME. Partners for HOME is a compassionate community innovating a robust approach to homelessness in Atlanta. They are currently working with local hotels to house the homeless who are high-risk for COVID-19. www.partnersforhome.org, @lilianaforAtlanta

Meal Bridge is an Atlanta-based mission to feed frontline healthcare workers, while simultaneously generating biz for local restaurants. But local restaurants aren’t hogging all the profits: “For every single meal you order from Osteria, Doc Chey’s, or Dragon Bowl for our brave healthcare professionals via The Meal Bridge, we will donate nine more meals to the Atlanta Community Food Bank that will allow them to feed hungry children, hardworking families, or struggling seniors.” Barely more than a month into the pandemic, 1,084 meals have been delivered to hospitals, thus raising enough to feed 9,756 food-insecure neighbors. www.themealbridge.com

The Atlanta Guys Dinner Group (#AGDG) is a group of guys who get together once a month to break bread, socialize, and give back to the Atlanta community. They created a pantry drive and are putting bags together for restaurant workers and others from the culinary industry who are currently without. They have also raised funds for Atlanta Family Meal and are collecting nonperishable items if you’re able to donate.

Funemployed? Become a Pet Listener:
Have a pet? I recently made an appointment with local animal communicator, Lauren Kinney. Animal communication uses telepathy, something Kinney says all humans are born with but lose once the verbal communication takes over, to chat with your furry roommates.

“I listen and learn about an animal’s joys and fears and get a better understanding of behavioral or medical issues.” — Kinney

Kinney had a convo with Poncey, my seven-year-old bulldog and codependent bestie, via phone. Kinney described Poncey as “The Dude” from one of my favorite Coen brothers’ movies, The Big Lebowski, meaning he’s extremely “chill.” This, along with everything else she noted about my only roommate, was spot on! Even if she just got lucky, the call lifted spirits in our tiny home. Kinney is currently talking to pets for FREE to gain accreditation hours. Yes, that’s a thing, apparently, if you are funemployed! www.petlistener.com

TWITCH.tv:
Are you even twitching yet, Karen? Twitch.tv, a social media platform originally intended for gamers, is now being used to stream events during coronavirus.

We asked Wussy Mag creator Jon Dean, “Why not just stick with Facebook or Zoom?” Dean responded, “It’s just the best quality for mixing live stream in from multiple sources with pre-recorded content.” Wussy Mag, with Southern Fried Queer Pride, streamed their event “Big Ass Telethon to End Metronormativity,” Saturday, April 25 on Twitch.tv. The telethon raised money for rural, queer artists and performers and featured my fav local drag performers Brigitte Bidet and Ella/saurus/REX. Nashville band Thelma & the Sleaze, international pop star Lance Bass, and Netflix comedians Fortune Feimster and Whitney Cummings all made appearances that likely wouldn’t have been possible pre shelter in place.

Look for more Atlanta-based events popping up on Twitch.tv, including regular entertainment from Mammal Gallery and a social distance happy hour hosted by Mary’s every Friday.

You can still shop local:
A cure for the Amazon guilt is as overdue as rent during COVID-19. Of course, I didn’t know how to kick the addiction, so I called upon my favorite local she-can-make-anything engineer, Streetcat.media, for the 411 on how to stop playing with rainbow capitalism and actually buy local.

"Itching for your monthly Atlanta DIY fix?! We sure as heck are! Local internet-based artist + DIY community organizer, Streetcat.media, saves the day with the scoop on all things online in the Atlanta DIY scene in their latest blog, “Pandemania: an Anti-Rainbow Capitalism Manifesto.”

“In this manifesto, you will find lots of reasons and resources on how and why you should be investing in your local creative economy right now, especially in these uncertain national and state-wide economic times. Whether through building your own DIY skill set with video tutorials or buying art from a local artist’s website, now is an extremely rare and fruitful time to participate in and support your local DIY community online.” — Maggie Kane, owner, Streetcat.media. 

Shibori, Shibari — Let’s tie the whole thing off:
Getting crafty on The Move! Shibori is the ancient Japanese art of folding, tying, then dying fabric to create a tie-dye like pattern. I tried this technique during quarantine, only to learn RIT fabric dye for synthetics doesn’t actually dye polyester as promised. Friends who stuck with more absorbable fabs, like cotton, have dyed beautiful things. Try shibori with you, yourself, and you while staying home.

Shibari is the Japanese form of bondage art, aka kinbaku. So maybe I haven’t actually practiced tying up another human yet, but I am getting pretty stellar at macramé, which is just as knotty. I’ve learned so many twists and ties and have acquired enough rope to make the kink community jelly. Macramé is a solo project. If you have a quarantine partner, try for shibari.

WEED Rx:
I’d like to re-thank Kwanza Hall and all the Atlanta City Council members who unanimously voted to decriminalize under an ounce of grass in 2017. And with cops not having testing kits to analyze the difference between CBD/THC, there’s a good chance you can drop the paranoia in 2020. Lawd knows we need Mary Jane more than ever right now.


*Remember, marijuana containing more than .03 percent of THC is still illegal in Georgia. In the city of Atlanta, however, you will at worst get a $75 ticket for having under an ounce of THC on you. Enjoy confidently and responsibly.

CLUB QUARANTINE and other ways to dance during a pandemic:
The Move is always to dance. I even have a tattoo dedicated to the verb. Perhaps we can’t risk sharing sweat droplets with strangers right now, but social-distance dance parties are popping up everywhere.

It’s taken no time for the dance community to take the raves online during an international crisis. Artists from Toronto take their all-inclusive, queer dance party, Club Quarantine, online for the masses nightly using Zoom codes.

Party in your bathtub. Lose track of time. Don’t be self-conscious, wake your subconscious, without having to leave your house. Go ahead and get all dressed up, honey, bc you’ve got a website to get to!

LOCAL DANCE PARTIES via the internet:
Who misses foam, glitter, and dance raves more than me? Maybe DJ Kimber. Although we can’t share glitter, we can enjoy a full, live set from Kimber weekly! Check out Kimber’s virtual dance parties for Nonsense ATL via Zoom. Her last set was eight hours long! nonsenseatl.com

And before we can all go back to day raves at the Chosewood Ballroom, continue checking Ecstatic Dance Atlanta’s Facebook page as they stream Ecstatic Dance chapters from around the world. Get movin’ — that’s an order. 

P.S. Stop whining about getting your roots done and just shave your head. I did! —CL—"

Plus, ways you can help good ppl doing some good sh*t.

~~#000000:__A shoutout to the do-gooders, and how to join them:__~~

The first call I make when I want to know how to be of service in the communities that need it most is to Activist and Community Leader [https://www.lilianabakhtiari.com/about|Liliana Bakhtiari]. Think your volunteer hours are impressive? Bakhtiari’s life commitment to public service is GOALS.

During the pandemic, Bakhtiari immediately activated help for Atlanta’s senior community asking for donations for Branan Towers, a high-rise for senior citizens in East Atlanta Village. You can drop off [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Branan Towers/@33.740528,-84.348142,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x201baa92f604f332?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiHoJbCh7HpAhVlTd8KHTEgAjEQ_BIwCnoECBMQCA|Branan Towers] donations — food, cleaning supplies, art activities, puzzles, books, used/refurbished electronics, gift cards, and letters —  at the [http://argosy-east.com/|Argosy] take-out table, Wednesday through Sunday, between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Bakhtiari is also working as the Homeless Emergency Response Coordinator at [http://partnersforhome.org|__Partners for HOME__]. Partners for HOME is a compassionate community innovating a robust approach to homelessness in Atlanta. They are currently working with local hotels to house the homeless who are high-risk for COVID-19. www.partnersforhome.org, @lilianaforAtlanta

~~#000000:__Meal Bridge__~~ is an Atlanta-based mission to feed frontline healthcare workers, while simultaneously generating biz for local restaurants. But local restaurants aren’t hogging all the profits: “For every single meal you order from Osteria, Doc Chey’s, or Dragon Bowl for our brave healthcare professionals via The Meal Bridge, we will donate nine more meals to the Atlanta Community Food Bank that will allow them to feed hungry children, hardworking families, or struggling seniors.” Barely more than a month into the pandemic, 1,084 meals have been delivered to hospitals, thus raising enough to feed 9,756 food-insecure neighbors. www.themealbridge.com

The ~~#000000:__Atlanta Guys Dinner Group__ (#AGDG)~~ is a group of guys who get together once a month to break bread, socialize, and give back to the Atlanta community. They created a pantry drive and are putting bags together for restaurant workers and others from the culinary industry who are currently without. They have also raised funds for Atlanta Family Meal and are collecting nonperishable items if you’re able to donate.

~~#000000:__Funemployed? Become a Pet Listener:__~~
Have a pet? I recently made an appointment with local animal communicator, [https://petlistener.com/|Lauren Kinney]. Animal communication uses telepathy, something Kinney says all humans are born with but lose once the verbal communication takes over, to chat with your furry roommates.

“I listen and learn about an animal’s joys and fears and get a better understanding of behavioral or medical issues.” — Kinney

Kinney had a convo with Poncey, my seven-year-old bulldog and codependent bestie, via phone. Kinney described Poncey as “The Dude” from one of my favorite Coen brothers’ movies, ''The Big Lebowski'', meaning he’s extremely “chill.” This, along with everything else she noted about my only roommate, was spot on! Even if she just got lucky, the call lifted spirits in our tiny home. Kinney is currently talking to pets for FREE to gain accreditation hours. Yes, that’s a thing, apparently, if you are funemployed! www.petlistener.com

~~#000000:__TWITCH.tv:__~~
Are you even twitching yet, ''Karen''? ''Twitch.tv'', a social media platform originally intended for gamers, is now being used to stream events during coronavirus.

We asked [https://www.wussymag.com/|''Wussy'' Mag] creator Jon Dean, “Why not just stick with Facebook or Zoom?” Dean responded, “It’s just the best quality for mixing live stream in from multiple sources with pre-recorded content.” ''Wussy'' Mag, with [http://www.southernfriedqueerpride.com/|Southern Fried Queer Pride], streamed their event “Big Ass Telethon to End Metronormativity,” Saturday, April 25 on Twitch.tv. The telethon raised money for rural, queer artists and performers and featured my fav local drag performers [https://www.instagram.com/brigittebidet/?hl=en|Brigitte Bidet] and Ella/saurus/REX. Nashville band [http://thelmaandthesleaze.com/|Thelma & the Sleaze], international pop star [https://lancebass.com/|Lance Bass], and Netflix comedians [https://www.fortunefeimster.com/|Fortune Feimster] and [https://www.whitneycummings.com/|Whitney Cummings] all made appearances that likely wouldn’t have been possible pre shelter in place.

Look for more Atlanta-based events popping up on ''Twitch.tv'', including regular entertainment from [http://www.mammalgallery.com/|Mammal Gallery] and a social distance happy hour hosted by [https://www.marysatlanta.com/|Mary’s] every Friday.

~~#000000:__You can still shop local:__~~
A cure for the Amazon guilt is as overdue as rent during COVID-19. Of course, I didn’t know how to kick the addiction, so I called upon my favorite local she-can-make-anything engineer, [https://www.streetcat.media/|Streetcat.media], for the 411 on how to stop playing with rainbow capitalism and actually buy local.

"Itching for your monthly Atlanta DIY fix?! We sure as heck are! Local internet-based artist + DIY community organizer, [https://www.streetcat.media/|Streetcat.media], saves the day with the scoop on all things online in the Atlanta DIY scene in their [https://www.streetcat.media/community-engagement/pandemania-diy-online|latest blog, “Pandemania: an Anti-Rainbow Capitalism Manifesto.”]

“In this manifesto, you will find lots of reasons and resources on how and why you should be investing in your local creative economy right now, especially in these uncertain national and state-wide economic times. Whether through building your own DIY skill set with video tutorials or buying art from a local artist’s website, now is an extremely rare and fruitful time to participate in and support your local DIY community online.” — Maggie Kane, owner, Streetcat.media.

~~#000000:__WEED Rx:__~~
I’d like to re-thank [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kwanzahall/|Kwanza Hall] and all the Atlanta City Council members who unanimously voted to decriminalize under an ounce of grass in 2017. And with cops [https://creativeloafing.com/content-467791-podcast-friends-in-high-places-ep-12-part-2-with-attorney-ashley|not having testing kits to analyze the difference between CBD/THC], there’s a good chance you can drop the paranoia in 2020.

*Remember, marijuana containing more than .03 percent of THC is still illegal in Georgia. In the city of Atlanta, however, you will at worst get a $75 ticket for having under an ounce of THC on you. Enjoy confidently and responsibly.

~~#000000:__[https://www.instagram.com/clubquarantine/?hl=en|CLUB QUARANTINE] and other ways to dance during a pandemic:__~~
The Move is always to dance. I even have a tattoo dedicated to the verb. Perhaps we can’t risk sharing sweat droplets with strangers right now, but social-distance dance parties are popping up everywhere.

It’s taken no time for the dance community to take the raves online during an international crisis. Artists from Toronto take their all-inclusive, queer dance party, Club Quarantine, online for the masses nightly using Zoom codes.

Party in your bathtub. Lose track of time. Don’t be self-conscious, wake your subconscious, without having to leave your house. Go ahead and get all dressed up, honey, bc you’ve got a website to get to!

~~#000000:__LOCAL DANCE PARTIES via the internet:__~~
Who misses foam, glitter, and dance raves more than me? Maybe [https://www.nonsenseatl.com/|DJ Kimber]. Although we can’t share glitter, we can enjoy a full, live set from Kimber weekly! Check out Kimber’s virtual dance parties for Nonsense ATL via Zoom. Her last set was eight hours long! nonsenseatl.com

And before we can all go back to day raves at the Chosewood Ballroom, continue checking [https://www.facebook.com/EcstaticDanceAtlanta|Ecstatic Dance Atlanta]’s Facebook page as they stream Ecstatic Dance chapters from around the world. Get movin’ — that’s an order.

Y’all can still have a balanced diet of disco and yoga, it will just be virtual yoga and a password protected Zoom disco. Warning of side effects: Bloated bank account from an entire year of concert cash yet to be burned. Anxiety over slow internet connections. Consume at your own risk.

Other than the obvious issues and catching my dog’s separation anxiety, there are pros to being on international shut-down. The club bathrooms have improved, assuming you cleaned your toilet recently. Brian Kemp memes went viral. No more group birthday dinners!

The underground isn’t always organized. Throw in a pandemic, and we’re talking a pop-up virtual rager that could slide in your feed at any hour. In the good ole days, The Move intended to get your calendars amped for what’s to come. But that was way back in Q1 of this year. Now that most of us would agree our lives can change at the drop of cough droplets, writing a futuristic events column...well maybe not. Instead, like a true cowgirl, she’s doing things in reverse. Here’s what she’s seen, virtually attended, watched, and created during COVID-19. If you read about an event you like, look ‘em up. They will probably have more parties. Plus, ways you can help good ppl doing some good sh*t.

SATURDAY MARCH 7 & SUNDAY MARCH 8

Genny Social hosted by Ilana Glazer — Ilana Glazer is in Atlanta, not once, but two nights back-to-back to promote voter turnout. First stop, Mammal Gallery for a “Genny Social.” Genny Socials were created by Generator Collective co-founders Ilana Glazer and Glennis Meagher. Basically, they want to throw a dance party at each tour stop to educate and spread the good word about how politics really work.

Y’all might remember Glazer from the hit Comedy Central show, Broad City, where she and co-star Abbi Jacobson took us on adventures through the minds of Millennials, and helped change the global word ‘yes’ to “yaaaassss queen.” Glazer realized her own definition of queer while working on the show, helping her live her true queerself post-Broad City. I’d like to thank Glazer for her service on the show. I related so much to Glazer’s character, I finally came out as a bi-sexual in my late 20s. For me, previous to Broad City, admitting to being bi in the South only attracted toxic, hetero cis males looking for gangbangs.

$18.79. 7 p.m.-midnight. Food Court, Mammal Gallery, 682 Murphy Ave. S.W., #3064. 678-744-7095. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[http://mammalgallery.com|mammalgallery.com

Can’t make the Genny Social? Glazer is also performing her latest stand-up, “Horny 4 Tha Polls,” at the Tabernacle, Sunday, March 8. BE. THERE.

$35-$49+, 7:30 p.m. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. N.W. 404-659-9022. www.tabernacleatl.com

MONDAY MARCH 9 & TUESDAY MARCH 10

Blood Orange at Variety Playhouse — Dare I say Blood Orange gives me hints of Prince?! Reminiscent of R&B with experimental twists, is what makes up English singer, songwriter, record producer, and director Devonté Hynes, aka Blood Orange. The songs are chill, touch on old-school emotions, with graceful videos to go along. Fans of Flying Lotus and Tyler, The Creator need to see Swan House Presents: Blood Orange at Variety Playhouse, including the opener, Columbian-Canadian singer Tei Shi.

Blood Orange comes with talent and street cred from working with artists like Solange Knowles, A$AP Rocky, Florence and the Machine, Kylie Minogue, Blondie, and Mariah Carey. Hidden gem alert! Zero Mile Presents is giving away a pair of tickets to Tuesday night’s show. First person to DM Creative Loafing’s Instagram mentioning this giveaway gets the tix! @creativeloafingatlanta

Grrrl Justice: A Film Screening & Discussion! — Feed your brain with a movie night at Bakie! Southern Fried Queer Pride brings “Grrrl Justice,” for Cinequeer Movie Night. The experimental narrative short explores the rising rates of girls and queer youth of color in the juvenile justice system, applying the lenses of gender and sexuality.

The film’s creator, Shontina Vernon, will be at the event for a discussion of the film and its themes. Vernon is an accomplished grassroots artist in film, theatre, and music, with a passion for educating.

Free. All ages. 6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. The Bakery Atlanta, 825 Warner St. S.W. thebakeryatlanta.com

THURSDAY MARCH 12

Lunch and Learn: Discovering the BeltLine’s Native Plants — Attention, PHYTOMANIANS! Urban Forestry director at Trees Atlanta, Brian Williams, wants to teach us about green leafy thangz. Dive into the BeltLine’s past, and bring to light the importance of planting native for urban wildlife and pollinators. Psst: Every time I hear “pollinators,” my inner, dirty hippie blossoms a bit. Bc snax are important, this is a B-Y-O-lunch sitch.

If you’ve found yourself more into plants these days, or even a full-fledged phytomanian, welcome to the tribe. The sale of houseplants tripled over the last four years. I blame Pinterroist — I mean Pinterest! As a freshly minted plant mother, I’ve involuntarily mxnslaughtered many succulents and learned to enjoy phyllomania (Google it!). My fav is the purple waffle plant, even tho I sent mine to the compost after a week in an ICU sunlamp station. Side note! Did you know there are 15 types of fruit trees currently residing in East Atlanta Village? If that tickles your dandelions, give “Concrete Jungle in Atlanta” a Google. And please consider making a donation to Trees Atlanta.

Free. Noon-1 p.m. Trees Atlanta Kendeda Center, 225 Chester Ave. S.E. 404-522-4097. treesatlanta.org

FRIDAY MARCH 13

Videodrome and Plaza Present an Evening with Deadly Prey Gallery — Deadly Prey Gallery is completely devoted to hand-painted posters by Ghanaian artists of popular American movies. Many of the artists had never seen said movies, and worked from just a plot summary or, more rarely, a VHS sleeve. A collaboration between Videodrome Atlanta and Deadly Prey Gallery in Chicago brings the show to Plaza Atlanta. Artists will include Heavy J, Salvation, Farkira, Mr. Nana, Stoger, Leonardo, Mr. Brew, Papa Warsti, Classic Arts, Adomako, Wise Arts, and Sly Fox Video Club. Most of the posters at this show will be for sale.

Deadly Prey Gallery founder Brian Chankin will also present one of his favorite films (and the gallery’s namesake), David A. Prior’s 1987 ultra-low budget Rambo knockoff,  Deadly Prey. Chankin will be on hand for a Q&A before the film to discuss the gallery’s background and mission.

Why is this The Move? Before one could drive, she’d get calls from the Blockbuster around the corner letting her know there was a new stash of posters being tossed out to accommodate new releases. With big dreams, nowhere near Hollywood, she would romance these posters into her imagination, as she was destined for the stage. She later developed stage fright, retiring at 16. Buy a piece of film and art for your kid, with a reminder that fear isn’t real.

Free-$15 (for Q&A and film). 6 p.m.-11:30 p.m. Plaza Atlanta, 1049 Ponce De Leon Ave. N.E. 470-410-1939. Facebook event page

SATURDAY MARCH 14

Artist Skillshare Series: Live Sound Engineering 101 — Ever wonder what the guys wearing biscuits sitting FOH are doing at shows? They could be audio engineers! What’s an audio engineer?! Oh my! … I have no idea. OK, I have some idea, but not nearly as much as the Bakery’s in-house audio engineer, Daniel DeSimone.

Mix it up with DeSimone’s workshop at The Bakery Atlanta. Listen and learn the basics: names and uses of mics and cabling, types of speakers, anatomy of a PA, and mixing boards. Plus, if you aren’t getting an education at The Bakery, are you even living these days?

Suggested donation $5-20. 11 a.m.-2 p.m. The Bakery Atlanta, 825 Warner St. S.W. thebakeryatlanta.com

THURSDAY MARCH 19

Am Taylor Release w/ Special Cameo Appearance by Jayne County Am Taylor’s latest project was created during a self-imposed hiatus, but she’s not alone at her next show. “I’ve been reborn many times in my life, and I’ve gone through a lot of really hardcore stuff. I’ve been through tragedies, and I’ve had to fight every day. At one point I almost died, and that’s part of my journey,” says the Atlanta-based singer-guitarist. Rising from the ashes, the transgender guitarist brings talented musicians together to perform, including Georgia’s own punk LGBTQ+ legend, Jayne County!

“I can hum a tune to her, and she can pick it out with a guitar in just seconds, she’s got this incredible knack.” — Jayne County, quoted in Please Kill Me, on working with Am Taylor.

County, 73, who happens to be from Dallas, Georgia, was rock’s first openly transgender singer. In the 1970s, County left Georgia and started Wayne County and The Electric Chairs. Producing controversial, campy hits like “(If You Don’t Wanna Fuck Me, Baby, Then) Fuck Off,” County was an early progenitor of New York’s punk rock scene, influencing the Ramones, Patti Smith, Pete Burns, and Lou Reed, and in the early ’70s, signed to MainMan, David Bowie’s management firm. County was a muse to Andy Warhol; a regular at the Stonewall Inn, participating in the 1969 riots; and ever-present at CBGB in its heyday.

$10-12. 8-12 p.m. The Earl, 488 Flat Shoals Ave. S.E. 404-522-3950. badearl.com

SATURDAY MARCH 21

Cash Cab’s Ben Bailey Live In Concert — Want to see what the six-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning “Cash Cab”’s Ben Bailey does when he’s not living in a lit taxi stocked with trivia secrets? He’s telling jokes! On a stage! Touring around the U.S., most specifically this month in Atlanta at Center Stage in Midtown.

Test the temp on your comedy radar by streaming Road Rage and Accidental Ornithology on Netflix, Bailey’s most recent comedy special. Earth to you. Yes, you. Are you still reading? Pay attention to Creative Loafing’s socials this month bc word on the street is Bailey might pop up with free tix for readers of The Move (kissy winky emoji).

$25-$40. 7:30 p.m. Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St. N.W. 404-885-1365. centerstage-atlanta.com

SUNDAY MARCH 22

Period Packing Party! — Lend a hand with Dykes on Bikes and Sadie Hawkins at Metropolitan Studios in East Atlanta Village. How? By putting together period packs for those hemorrhaging in need, bc Aunt Flo doesn’t care about socioeconomics. Join the period-pack assembly line to pack tampons, pads, and wipes for shelters, those in need on the streets, and young people in schools. Bonus: It’s a great chance to check out Metropolitan Studios for creative courses. And … hmm, how do I explain Dykes on Bikes ... they are … dykes ... on bikes for a cause! More specifically, dykes on motorcycles … so don’t expect to join with your fixie.

Volunteer. 1-3 p.m. Metropolitan Studios, 1259 Metropolitan Ave. S.E. 404-219-2003.  Facebook event page

SATURDAY MARCH 28

Susto at Terminal West — “Susto” means “an intense fear understood as a condition of the soul,” a nod to some of the Cuban roots behind this project by Jason Osborne, who comes from near my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. Yes, I can hear it in the music.

If we went back to the turn of the millennium, you’d catch friends & co. skipping school at Folly Beach blasting a lot of Fuel, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews Band, with hints of new-traditional country along The Washout, a popular surf spot. At a time when surfers headed to Publix for chewing tobacco and concert tickets, Charleston’s now extinct “96 Wave Fest” would have proudly welcomed Susto, and I would’ve surfed the crowd.

Osborne’s music is reminiscent of, but not trapped in, an alt-pop-country-rock state like much of the greater Charleston-area airwaves still today. It’s almost impossible to genre-fy the flavors. Osborne gives credit all over the map, literally, from time spent in Havana to traveling around the globe. He encourages fans to have mobility: “Don’t settle for where you start.” Having spent part of my youth in Summerville, that line resonates. Look for my interview with Osborne on CL’s Instagram post-show, frans!

SUNDAY MARCH 29

Queer Artist Market Spring Kickoff Social — Why? Because queer means inclusive, and there’s likely something for everyone at this market affair. Shed that ashy, dry winter coat while browsing in the outdoor lot at the cutely outfitted Georgia Beer Garden.

Do not blink and miss vendors like Streetcat.media who taught me how to build, glue and program an LED cloud!! Hells Belles will bring the vintage, WiredByP offers unique handmade jewelry, Neon Horror’s got the queer pop merch, and Kat Gomez, a recipient of the Barb Seegert Lesbian Art Grant, will sell her amazing krisply burned-wood art.

Free. All ages. Noon-4 p.m. Georgia Beer Garden, 420 Edgewood Ave. S.E. 404-458-5690. Facebook event page

TUESDAY MARCH 31

Planetary Sound Immersion — A sound immersion that uses comfy recliners instead of the floor? I thought they’d never ask! This bath of sound comes with options to add to the visual journey through space by keeping those lids open, or rest them with a gifted eye mask, while sonic chefs create deliciously calming tones with pretty, decorative bowls and gongs and things you never knew the purpose of in those Lil’ 5 Points shops.

Pro Tips for Noobs:  Don’t be late to sound baths! You’ll kill it for the other ears, and likely catch a lot of side-eye, even if it’s under a mask. Get out and support Fernbank. More science in schools, less algebra. #notsponsored

Rising from the ashes, the transgender guitarist brings talented musicians together to perform, including Georgia’s own punk LGBTQ+ legend, Jayne County!

“I can hum a tune to her, and she can pick it out with a guitar in just seconds, she’s got this incredible knack.” — Jayne County, quoted in ''Please Kill Me'', on working with Am Taylor.

County, 73, who happens to be from Dallas, Georgia, was rock’s first openly transgender singer. In the 1970s, County left Georgia and started Wayne County and The Electric Chairs. Producing controversial, campy hits like “(If You Don’t Wanna Fuck Me, Baby, Then) Fuck Off,” County was an early progenitor of New York’s punk rock scene, influencing the Ramones, Patti Smith, Pete Burns, and Lou Reed, and in the early ’70s, signed to MainMan, David Bowie’s management firm. County was a muse to Andy Warhol; a regular at the Stonewall Inn, participating in the 1969 riots; and ever-present at CBGB in its heyday.

__Cash Cab’s Ben Bailey Live In Concert__ — Want to see what the six-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning “Cash Cab”’s Ben Bailey does when he’s not living in a lit taxi stocked with trivia secrets? He’s telling jokes! On a stage! Touring around the U.S., most specifically this month in Atlanta at Center Stage in Midtown.

Test the temp on your comedy radar by streaming ''Road Rage and Accidental Ornithology'' on Netflix, Bailey’s most recent comedy special. Earth to you. Yes, you. Are you still reading? Pay attention to ''Creative Loafing''’s socials this month bc word on the street is Bailey might pop up with free tix for readers of The Move (''kissy winky emoji'').

__Period Packing Party!__ — Lend a hand with Dykes on Bikes and Sadie Hawkins at Metropolitan Studios in East Atlanta Village. How? By putting together period packs for those hemorrhaging in need, bc Aunt Flo doesn’t care about socioeconomics. Join the period-pack assembly line to pack tampons, pads, and wipes for shelters, those in need on the streets, and young people in schools. Bonus: It’s a great chance to check out Metropolitan Studios for creative courses. And … hmm, how do I explain Dykes on Bikes ... they are … dykes ... on bikes for a cause! More specifically, dykes on motorcycles … so don’t expect to join with your fixie.

__SATURDAY MARCH 28__

__Susto at Terminal West__ — “Susto” means “an intense fear understood as a condition of the soul,” a nod to some of the Cuban roots behind this project by Jason Osborne, who comes from near my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. Yes, I can hear it in the music.

If we went back to the turn of the millennium, you’d catch friends & co. skipping school at Folly Beach blasting a lot of Fuel, Counting Crows, Dave Matthews Band, with hints of new-traditional country along The Washout, a popular surf spot. At a time when surfers headed to Publix for chewing tobacco and concert tickets, Charleston’s now extinct “96 Wave Fest” would have proudly welcomed Susto, and I would’ve surfed the crowd.

Osborne’s music is reminiscent of, but not trapped in, an alt-pop-country-rock state like much of the greater Charleston-area airwaves still today. It’s almost impossible to genre-fy the flavors. Osborne gives credit all over the map, literally, from time spent in Havana to traveling around the globe. He encourages fans to have mobility: “Don’t settle for where you start.” Having spent part of my youth in Summerville, that line resonates. Look for my interview with Osborne on ''CL''’s Instagram post-show, frans!

Be safe. Be healthy. Wash your hands.

The Move is a column intended to help you beat the fight against basic, one move at a time. Look here for all the best underground events in ATL. Bc you CAN have a balanced diet of disco AND yoga. Warning of side effects: Overdose of culture. Exposure to high levels of Queerdom. Bloated bank account from lack of overpriced ticket consumption. Absorb content at your own risk.

Come out and thaw out, my Spring Bithkitz! Hope you’re into nostalgia bc some of The Moves in March are inspired by it, with hints of TMI about my youth and sexuality. Nostalgia is a forever trend that I’m … 1,000 percent on board with! Sounds from my hometown hit the Westside, two nights of Blood Orange and evocative R&B vibes at Variety Playhouse, and the resurgence of a popular TV show has the host on a national comedy tour.

Also, two very real possibilities to get up-close, possibly personal, with Ilana Glazer and audio engineering 101 for less than 20 doll hairs. Buckle up! We’re making moves, y’all. Psst...Xtra! Xtra! Weed all about my podcast, "Friends in High Places"

SATURDAY MARCH 7 & SUNDAY MARCH 8

Genny Social hosted by Ilana Glazer — Ilana Glazer is in Atlanta, not once, but two nights back-to-back to promote voter turnout. First stop, Mammal Gallery for a “Genny Social.” Genny Socials were created by Generator Collective co-founders Ilana Glazer and Glennis Meagher. Basically, they want to throw a dance party at each tour stop to educate and spread the good word about how politics really work.

Y’all might remember Glazer from the hit Comedy Central show, Broad City, where she and co-star Abbi Jacobson took us on adventures through the minds of Millennials, and helped change the global word ‘yes’ to “yaaaassss queen.” Glazer realized her own definition of queer while working on the show, helping her live her true queerself post-Broad City. I’d like to thank Glazer for her service on the show. I related so much to Glazer’s character, I finally came out as a bi-sexual in my late 20s. For me, previous to Broad City, admitting to being bi in the South only attracted toxic, hetero cis males looking for gangbangs.

$18.79. 7 p.m.-midnight. Food Court, Mammal Gallery, 682 Murphy Ave. S.W., #3064. 678-744-7095. [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[http://mammalgallery.com|mammalgallery.com

Can’t make the Genny Social? Glazer is also performing her latest stand-up, “Horny 4 Tha Polls,” at the Tabernacle, Sunday, March 8. BE. THERE.

$35-$49+, 7:30 p.m. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. N.W. 404-659-9022. www.tabernacleatl.com

MONDAY MARCH 9 & TUESDAY MARCH 10

Blood Orange at Variety Playhouse — Dare I say Blood Orange gives me hints of Prince?! Reminiscent of R&B with experimental twists, is what makes up English singer, songwriter, record producer, and director Devonté Hynes, aka Blood Orange. The songs are chill, touch on old-school emotions, with graceful videos to go along. Fans of Flying Lotus and Tyler, The Creator need to see Swan House Presents: Blood Orange at Variety Playhouse, including the opener, Columbian-Canadian singer Tei Shi.

Blood Orange comes with talent and street cred from working with artists like Solange Knowles, A$AP Rocky, Florence and the Machine, Kylie Minogue, Blondie, and Mariah Carey. Hidden gem alert! Zero Mile Presents is giving away a pair of tickets to Tuesday night’s show. First person to DM Creative Loafing’s Instagram mentioning this giveaway gets the tix! @creativeloafingatlanta

Grrrl Justice: A Film Screening & Discussion! — Feed your brain with a movie night at Bakie! Southern Fried Queer Pride brings “Grrrl Justice,” for Cinequeer Movie Night. The experimental narrative short explores the rising rates of girls and queer youth of color in the juvenile justice system, applying the lenses of gender and sexuality.

The film’s creator, Shontina Vernon, will be at the event for a discussion of the film and its themes. Vernon is an accomplished grassroots artist in film, theatre, and music, with a passion for educating.

Lunch and Learn: Discovering the BeltLine’s Native Plants — Attention, PHYTOMANIANS! Urban Forestry director at Trees Atlanta, Brian Williams, wants to teach us about green leafy thangz. Dive into the BeltLine’s past, and bring to light the importance of planting native for urban wildlife and pollinators. Psst: Every time I hear “pollinators,” my inner, dirty hippie blossoms a bit. Bc snax are important, this is a B-Y-O-lunch sitch.

If you’ve found yourself more into plants these days, or even a full-fledged phytomanian, welcome to the tribe. The sale of houseplants tripled over the last four years. I blame Pinterroist — I mean Pinterest! As a freshly minted plant mother, I’ve involuntarily mxnslaughtered many succulents and learned to enjoy phyllomania (Google it!). My fav is the purple waffle plant, even tho I sent mine to the compost after a week in an ICU sunlamp station. Side note! Did you know there are 15 types of fruit trees currently residing in East Atlanta Village? If that tickles your dandelions, give “Concrete Jungle in Atlanta” a Google. And please consider making a donation to Trees Atlanta.

FRIDAY MARCH 13

Videodrome and Plaza Present an Evening with Deadly Prey Gallery — Deadly Prey Gallery is completely devoted to hand-painted posters by Ghanaian artists of popular American movies. Many of the artists had never seen said movies, and worked from just a plot summary or, more rarely, a VHS sleeve. A collaboration between Videodrome Atlanta and Deadly Prey Gallery in Chicago brings the show to Plaza Atlanta. Artists will include Heavy J, Salvation, Farkira, Mr. Nana, Stoger, Leonardo, Mr. Brew, Papa Warsti, Classic Arts, Adomako, Wise Arts, and Sly Fox Video Club. Most of the posters at this show will be for sale.

Deadly Prey Gallery founder Brian Chankin will also present one of his favorite films (and the gallery’s namesake), David A. Prior’s 1987 ultra-low budget Rambo knockoff,  Deadly Prey. Chankin will be on hand for a Q&A before the film to discuss the gallery’s background and mission.

Why is this The Move? Before one could drive, she’d get calls from the Blockbuster around the corner letting her know there was a new stash of posters being tossed out to accommodate new releases. With big dreams, nowhere near Hollywood, she would romance these posters into her imagination, as she was destined for the stage. She later developed stage fright, retiring at 16. Buy a piece of film and art for your kid, with a reminder that fear isn’t real.

Free-$15 (for Q&A and film). 6 p.m.-11:30 p.m. Plaza Atlanta, 1049 Ponce De Leon Ave. N.E. 470-410-1939. Facebook event page

SATURDAY MARCH 14

Artist Skillshare Series: Live Sound Engineering 101 — Ever wonder what the guys wearing biscuits sitting FOH are doing at shows? They could be audio engineers! What’s an audio engineer?! Oh my! … I have no idea. OK, I have some idea, but not nearly as much as the Bakery’s in-house audio engineer, Daniel DeSimone.

Mix it up with DeSimone’s workshop at The Bakery Atlanta. Listen and learn the basics: names and uses of mics and cabling, types of speakers, anatomy of a PA, and mixing boards. Plus, if you aren’t getting an education at The Bakery, are you even living these days?

Suggested donation $5-20. 11 a.m.-2 p.m. The Bakery Atlanta, 825 Warner St. S.W. thebakeryatlanta.com

Am Taylor Release w/ Special Cameo Appearance by Jayne County Am Taylor’s latest project was created during a self-imposed hiatus, but she’s not alone at her next show. “I’ve been reborn many times in my life, and I’ve gone through a lot of really hardcore stuff. I’ve been through tragedies, and I’ve had to fight every day. At one point I almost died, and that’s part of my journey,” says the Atlanta-based singer-guitarist.

“I can hum a tune to her, and she can pick it out with a guitar in just seconds, she’s got this incredible knack.” — Jayne County, quoted in Please Kill Me, on working with Am Taylor.

Producing controversial, campy hits like “(If You Don’t Wanna Fuck Me, Baby, Then) Fuck Off,” County was an early progenitor of New York’s punk rock scene, influencing the Ramones, Patti Smith, Pete Burns, and Lou Reed, and in the early ’70s, signed to MainMan, David Bowie’s management firm.

Planetary Sound Immersion — A sound immersion that uses comfy recliners instead of the floor? I thought they’d never ask! This bath of sound comes with options to add to the visual journey through space by keeping those lids open, or rest them with a gifted eye mask, while sonic chefs create deliciously calming tones with pretty, decorative bowls and gongs and things you never knew the purpose of in those Lil’ 5 Points shops.

Pro Tips for Noobs:  Don’t be late to sound baths! You’ll kill it for the other ears, and likely catch a lot of side-eye, even if it’s under a mask. Get out and support Fernbank. More science in schools, less algebra. #notsponsored

ATL Collective Relives Sade’s “Love Deluxe” — If you aren’t listening to Sade already, are you even living? Valentine’s Day is a great time to start, or continue. If the words of Sade don’t make you feel sultry, deep, lusty love, see a doctor and get your heart checked for lack of love! Just kidding, kinda.

ATL Collective performs Sade’s Love Deluxe album live from start to finish, twice — once during an early show, then, again for a late show. “Cherish the Day” is my favorite, daily pick-me-up from this album. Full disclosure, my Alexa wakes me up to that song. If you want to cry, “Pearls” is another fav. You’ll want to be quiet and listening when Brenda Nicole Moorer takes the mic to belt Sade’s “Like a Tattoo” and “Kiss of Life.”

 21+. $30-40. Early show 6 p.m.; late show 9:30 p.m. City Wintery, 650 North Avenue, Ponce City Market, 404-946-3791. Both shows are sold out; waiting list available. citywinery.com/atlanta

Sade Experience: Valentine’s Special — Band Adu is a Sade cover band formed in May, 2019, that has forever changed my life in Atlanta. They are the only Sade cover band I know of that performs here year round. Why are there not more Sade cover bands, you ask? Because, truthfully, no one can touch Sade’s vocals. Vocalist Jamila Sampson gets pretty close with her seductive tone, a must-hear in person. 

With this set, expect classics like “Is It A Crime,” “Kiss of Life,” and “Sweetest Taboo.” These shows sell out super duper fast, y’all!

21+. $18-$25. 7 p.m. (doors). Show starts at 8:30 p.m. The Music Room, 327 Edgewood Ave., 404-343-0111. Click here for more information.

Bless Yr Heart: A Queer Valentine’s Dance Party at The Bakery — Not into strictly hetero activities on Valentine’s Day? Join The Bakery for an always all-inclusive celebration: “We’re celebrating queer love in all of its forms: relationships, self-love, community love, and more!” 

This year, it’s a dance party by Southern Fried Queer Pride, with DJ sets by chel xi (PRISM) & Jsport (Club Morph), and performances by drag stars Evangeline Laveau, JayBella Banks, La Reina, Paege Turner, and SZN ALXNDR. Also promised: “A super queer, kitsch photobooth!” Soak up your time at The Bakery’s current location, before it transitions completely into its new Downtown spot. 

18+ 10 p.m.-2 a.m. Suggested donation $7-$20. No one turned away for lack of funds. The Bakery Atlanta, 825 Warner St. S.W. thebakeryatlanta.com

Palmistry Basics Workshop: Radical Self Love — Confession:  I have always wanted to know what palm readers look for when reading a palm, but have always been too lazy to Google it. I’ve only had mine read professionally once, and nothing went according to my palm wrinkles, but I’m optimistic.

The one and only Modern Mystic Shop, upstairs inside Ponce City Market, is hosting Handful of Stars, who will teach us exactly what is going on in the palm of our hands. Mine run clammy. Wonder what that means. 

About the instructor and hands behind Handful of Stars: “Helene Saucedo is a hand analyst who provides private readings out of her vintage camper and travels the country with her craft, lecturing and reading at shops and at events such as Bonnaroo, Dirty South Yoga Festival, and the Bust Craftacular.”

All ages. $40. 1 p.m-2:30 p.m. Modern Mystic Shop @Ponce City Market, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave. N.E. N212, 404-600-2939. modernmysticshop.com

Black Girl Magic: ATL Edition w/ The Vixen from RPDR — Atlanta has no shortage of A-List Queens, whether local or those making a national tour stop. “Ru Paul’s Drag Race” season 10 contestant, The Vixen, is going to brighten up the dark underground that is the Drunken Unicorn with House of ALXNDR to bring you Black Girl Magic, featuring female rappers. The performance line-up includes The Vixen, Dotte Com, Dynisty St. James, Ella/saurus/ REX, JayBella Banks, SZN ALXNDR

Taejah LaBelle Thomas, TAYLOR ALXNDR, Tyra Rex, and more, with DJ sets by DJ Aasha Adore.

21+ $10-$15. 10 p.m. (doors); $25 meet-n-greet with The Vixen, 9 p.m. MJQ (The Drunken Unicorn), 736 Ponce de Leon Ave. N.E., Click here for tickets.

!!SATURDAYS THROUGH MARCH 21

Scandal: Felt Street — Puppets, Sex, & Scandal! — Get ready to settle in for your new weekly drama series. It’s not on Bravo TV, and you can’t stream it on Netflix. These stories require getting off your screens and LOLing IRL. If you suffer from intensified anxiety disorders due to social media, fresh air and human interaction might be good for you.

To Dad’s Garage we go for Scandal: Felt Street. Puppets and improv go together like peanut butter and Oreos (that’s a good thing in my belly). The storyline continues every Saturday until March 21, with puppet actors making up the details as they go along. All ages welcome; however, this will be heavy on the adult humor. If you’re on the Botox you’ll want to bill your doc for those deep laugh lines.

$16.50-$23.50+. 8 p.m. Dad’s Garage Theatre Company, 569 Ezzard St. S.E. 404-523-3141. Click here for more information."

Look here for all the best underground, and some above ground, events in ATL. Bc you CAN have a balanced diet of disco and yoga. Warning of side effects: Overdose of culture and queerdom. Bloated bank account from lack of overpriced ticket purchases. Confusion meeting clarity via mind, body, and soul. Consume at your own risk.

Alright, y’all! If you don’t like Sade, not only is it unlikely we’ll be friends off the internet, but this month’s Moves might be a tough read. I couldn’t make this up if I tried ... Three Sade cover bands in 24 hours! “Is it a crime?” bc it sounds too good to be true. 

Also, on the menu and in season this month, puppets improvising your new favorite dramedy, DIY palm reading, and, of course, WE DANCE! Read on for details, fluffy nuggets. And remember, animals are always naked.

Shameless copy/paste plug OTMonth: Psst … Xtra! Xtra! Weed all about it! Shameless plug for the latest episode of “Friends in High Places.” Listen along as I interview the likes of those mapping out the cannabis industry for Georgians, bc it’s not coming, it’s here.

Women Self-Healing through Comedy Workshop — Hey ladies, ever wanted to try stand-up? Nationally touring comedian and Fox network favorite, Lace Larrabee, teaches Atlanta’s only stand-up comedy classes for women. This month, Larrabee takes an unusual approach by teaching stand-up to survivors of domestic violence.

“Comedy is an opportunity to change the power dynamic and lead to healing and contemplation. Harness your voice and own your stories!” the event’s Facebook page exclaims.

The organizers ask, in lieu of paying for tickets, please consider donating to the Women’s Resource Center at www.wrcdv.org or donate via Paypal at paypal.me/wrcdv. This is a four-hour workshop, with only 30 spots available. Tix available here.

!!FRIDAY FEBRUARY 7

Wahine’s Hideaway — Dance is in demand in 2020! The hottest party at SPKEZ, on Edgewood Avenue above The Music Room, will masquerade as a tiki disco paradise during Wahine’s Hideaway, for one night only this month!

Wahine wants everyone to enjoy “tiki cocktails, worship false idols, and dance your cares away to the intoxicating sounds of tropical disco and electrified funk, provided by your DJs: The Silver Rider of Whiskey Disco, Music is 4 Lovers (Austin); Wahine of RESRGNS (Los Angeles/Atlanta); and Brian Rojas of Deep South, La Choloteca (Atlanta).”

Also, a much appreciated note from the organizers:  **BS Tolerance Level: ZERO. If you can’t be COOL AND RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE, then get the f*&% out. There is no room for harassment, abuse or judgment in Paradise.**

21+, $10. 10 p.m.-3 a.m. Edgewood SPKEZ, 327A Edgewood Ave. S.E., 404-343-4404. www.atlmusicroom.com

!!FRIDAY FEBRUARY 14

ATL Collective Relives Sade’s “Love Deluxe” — If you aren’t listening to Sade already, are you even living? Valentine’s Day is a great time to start, or continue. If the words of Sade don’t make you feel sultry, deep, lusty love, see a doctor and get your heart checked for lack of love! Just kidding, kinda.

ATL Collective performs Sade’s Love Deluxe album live from start to finish, twice — once during an early show, then, again for a late show. “Cherish the Day” is my favorite, daily pick-me-up from this album. Full disclosure, my Alexa wakes me up to that song. If you want to cry, “Pearls” is another fav. You’ll want to be quiet and listening when Brenda Nicole Moorer takes the mic to belt Sade’s “Like a Tattoo” and “Kiss of Life.”

 21+. $30-40. Early show 6 p.m.; late show 9:30 p.m. City Wintery, 650 North Avenue, Ponce City Market, 404-946-3791. Both shows are sold out; waiting list available. citywinery.com/atlanta

Sade Experience: Valentine’s Special — Band Adu is a Sade cover band formed in May, 2019, that has forever changed my life in Atlanta. They are the only Sade cover band I know of that performs here year round. Why are there not more Sade cover bands, you ask? Because, truthfully, no one can touch Sade’s vocals. Vocalist Jamila Sampson gets pretty close with her seductive tone, a must-hear in person. 

With this set, expect classics like “Is It A Crime,” “Kiss of Life,” and “Sweetest Taboo.” These shows sell out super duper fast, y’all!

21+. $18-$25. 7 p.m. (doors). Show starts at 8:30 p.m. The Music Room, 327 Edgewood Ave., 404-343-0111. Click here for more information.

Bless Yr Heart: A Queer Valentine’s Dance Party at The Bakery — Not into strictly hetero activities on Valentine’s Day? Join The Bakery for an always all-inclusive celebration: “We’re celebrating queer love in all of its forms: relationships, self-love, community love, and more!” 

This year, it’s a dance party by Southern Fried Queer Pride, with DJ sets by chel xi (PRISM) & Jsport (Club Morph), and performances by drag stars Evangeline Laveau, JayBella Banks, La Reina, Paege Turner, and SZN ALXNDR. Also promised: “A super queer, kitsch photobooth!” Soak up your time at The Bakery’s current location, before it transitions completely into its new Downtown spot. 

18+ 10 p.m.-2 a.m. Suggested donation $7-$20. No one turned away for lack of funds. The Bakery Atlanta, 825 Warner St. S.W. thebakeryatlanta.com

!!SATURDAY FEBRUARY 15

Sade Acoustic Tribute — Joy Warren has performed with Tyrese, Will Reagan & United Pursuit, and Kierra “KiKi” Sheard, as well as at major events including New York Fashion Week, NBA All-Star Weekend, BET Music Matters, and the BET Hip Hop Awards. Now, she’s stepping into Sade’s shoes for an all-live acoustic set at Venkman’s. The show is free, free, FREE, but dinner reservations will fill up fast. Standing room available as well. Dinner reservations can be made at Venkmans.com.

Free. 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m. Venkman’s, 740 Ralph McGill Blvd. 470-225-6162, venkmans.com

!!SUNDAY FEBRUARY 16

Palmistry Basics Workshop: Radical Self Love — Confession:  I have always wanted to know what palm readers look for when reading a palm, but have always been too lazy to Google it. I’ve only had mine read professionally once, and nothing went according to my palm wrinkles, but I’m optimistic.

The one and only Modern Mystic Shop, upstairs inside Ponce City Market, is hosting Handful of Stars, who will teach us exactly what is going on in the palm of our hands. Mine run clammy. Wonder what that means. 

About the instructor and hands behind Handful of Stars: “Helene Saucedo is a hand analyst who provides private readings out of her vintage camper and travels the country with her craft, lecturing and reading at shops and at events such as Bonnaroo, Dirty South Yoga Festival, and the Bust Craftacular.”

All ages. $40. 1 p.m-2:30 p.m. Modern Mystic Shop @Ponce City Market, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave. N.E. N212, 404-600-2939. modernmysticshop.com

!!SATURDAYS THROUGH MARCH 21

Scandal: Felt Street — Puppets, Sex, & Scandal! — Get ready to settle in for your new weekly drama series. It’s not on Bravo TV, and you can’t stream it on Netflix. These stories require getting off your screens and LOLing IRL. If you suffer from intensified anxiety disorders due to social media, fresh air and human interaction might be good for you.

To Dad’s Garage we go for Scandal: Felt Street. Puppets and improv go together like peanut butter and Oreos (that’s a good thing in my belly). The storyline continues every Saturday until March 21, with puppet actors making up the details as they go along. All ages welcome; however, this will be heavy on the adult humor. If you’re on the Botox you’ll want to bill your doc for those deep laugh lines.

$16.50-$23.50+. 8 p.m. Dad’s Garage Theatre Company, 569 Ezzard St. S.E. 404-523-3141. Click here for more information.

2. Taurus.

4. @Daveyswintondrag (DaveySwinton.com)

5. Circus and drag performer, trainer for aerial, yoga, performers, I also do Thai massage. Producer. I lead circus retreats and LGBTQIA retreats @dancesinair. Apparel and product designer.

6. Queer and single. Solo poly mostly, but every now and then I’ll have a main squeeze in the constellation. Pronouns they/them (unless I’m playing a character that might have their own pronouns, but this being is a they).

7.  I sleep a sound 9-10 hours a night based on a life of integrity. Also, a firm mattress, sometimes heated, heavy comforters, surrounded by mirrors. I don’t wear clothes to bed, but I might wear ropes or leather or heels.

8.  Sunblock, sex toys, and a large scarf. Really, I’ve done this trip every year. Maybe exchange sunblock for a video camera.

9.  At night, I like public spaces that have comfortable lighting, comfy sofas, and great music that isn’t too loud. There’s really only one or two places like this in Atlanta. I prefer parks/ hikes, massage trades, queer yoga classes, or ecstatic dance. Dating is a time where I get to focus on one person. It’s about connecting. These are the things I like to do and the best ways I connect, so if someone doesn’t like those things, we probably shouldn’t date.

13.  Sleep more. Really sleep and eat well. You’re already beautiful, so just take care of yourself, and that’s enough.

16.  I shower before bed. I have an outdoor bathtub so sometimes I have time for salt baths, especially when I’m training hard. I tend to take 2-3 three-minute showers on a day when it’s hot. I spend most of my year in summer weather. But showering before bed allows me to fan kick out of bed in the morning right into my clothes I laid out.

17.  I always gave myself a limit because when I was younger boys made fun of girls getting ready. So I keep everything including shower within an hour unless I’m in full drag, (then) I give myself up to an hour and a half. I also train my makeup skills down in time. There’s no reason to spend so long on each performance when you do it for a living.

19.  I know myself really well at this point, and I have a ton of life experience. I’m stronger than I look, but I’m tired of having to be as strong as I have been. I’m currently trying to reclaim parts of my life and move into a new era of my life that has some freedoms, so I am heavily in transition and will be refashioning myself and habits for this next part of my life.

20.  I think people look at me and make all kinds of incorrect assumptions. Let’s start with many of them assuming I’m in my 20s or 30s, and cisgendered, and well off, no dependents. None of those are true. As an AFAB, I’m used to people completely discounting everything I have ever said. As an introvert, I’m used to being run over like this, and I’m also (used to) being heavily bullied because I am a public persona. It’s a shame that people target those of us that want to live an authentic life. It makes me want to hide, for sure. But then when I perform something that is really my truth, so many people find connection and come to me tell me how much they needed that story. I have searched since I was a child for stories like mine, and rarely find any, but I believe we all carry extraordinary stories that if we could share them, would allow us all a better humanity, and healing. I believe that the energy of being defensive is something I don’t want to partake in, so essentially I allow people to make these judgments and they can see that by my life and my work that none of those things stand true. It takes time, but I’ve lived in Atlanta for 34 years and most of the people I know have known me 10+ years.

22.  Guileless.

24.  I need lots of communication. People get annoyed with me because I need that verbal cycle to be 100 percent. I need to be invited to feel welcome, it’s gotta be emphatic and loud for me to step forward. I prefer written contracts with a meeting, all of it. Anything we both need to be sure. I love nonverbal communication, but it’s just a piece of it. Body language plus really strong, 3x verbal communication cycles is where it’s at — followed with a written agreement. Otherwise, let’s meet on stage or the dance floor and play a bit, we aren’t doing anything serious. Obviously in my shows I use music, spoken word, movement, and circus arts to tell my stories/send messages. It’s very powerful to experience what it means to see fully and be seen fully in the same moment."

I’m currently trying to reclaim parts of my life and move into a new era of my life that has some freedoms, so I am heavily in transition and will be refashioning myself and habits for this next part of my life.

20.  I think people look at me and make all kinds of incorrect assumptions. Let’s start with many of them assuming I’m in my 20s or 30s, and cisgendered, and well off, no dependents. None of those are true. As an AFAB, I’m used to people completely discounting everything I have ever said. As an introvert, I’m used to being run over like this, and I’m also (used to) being heavily bullied because I am a public persona. It’s a shame that people target those of us that want to live an authentic life. It makes me want to hide, for sure. But then when I perform something that is really my truth, so many people find connection and come to me tell me how much they needed that story. I have searched since I was a child for stories like mine, and rarely find any, but I believe we all carry extraordinary stories that if we could share them, would allow us all a better humanity, and healing. I believe that the energy of being defensive is something I don’t want to partake in, so essentially I allow people to make these judgments and they can see that by my life and my work that none of those things stand true. It takes time, but I’ve lived in Atlanta for 34 years and most of the people I know have known me 10+ years.

22.  Guileless.

24.  I need lots of communication. People get annoyed with me because I need that verbal cycle to be 100 percent. I need to be invited to feel welcome, it’s gotta be emphatic and loud for me to step forward. I prefer written contracts with a meeting, all of it. Anything we both need to be sure. I love nonverbal communication, but it’s just a piece of it. Body language plus really strong, 3x verbal communication cycles is where it’s at — followed with a written agreement. Otherwise, let’s meet on stage or the dance floor and play a bit, we aren’t doing anything serious. Obviously in my shows I use music, spoken word, movement, and circus arts to tell my stories/send messages. It’s very powerful to experience what it means to see fully and be seen fully in the same moment.    Melissa Robin Davey Swinton                             Lust List 2020 - Davey Swinton "

9.  Dinner, drinks, sour beers, Cascade (Family Skating). Will read your tarot cards if you’re ready to get deep on a first date, but you must be worthy. I don’t like reading to amateurs.

10.  Love the idea of skydiving, but doubt I’ll ever do it. The fear, in my mind, goes from “I’m gonna jump out of a plane, get sick, and die in my own vomit,“ to “What if I’m connected to someone and we can’t get our rhythms?“ If you’re a confident, professional skydiver, I’ll consider letting you strap on.

12.  “Vanderpump Rules.” Trash TV lover.

13.  Jojoba oil.

14.  Always, only in public by accident, but always hovers! Wash my hands every time.

15.  Looking for a Paul Rudd look-alike to make me laugh, in and out of bed. Sometimes sex is awkward, but if you can laugh about it and move through it, it’s amazing.

18.  Deodorant, but make sure it’s natural.

19. Relates to people easily. And my boobs.

22.  Two words, Let’s Roll. (As in, roller skating.)

23.  Uses tarot as prayer and guidance."

The fear, in my mind, goes from “I’m gonna jump out of a plane, get sick, and die in my own vomit,“ to “What if I’m connected to someone and we can’t get our rhythms?“ If you’re a confident, professional skydiver, I’ll consider letting you strap on.

12.  “Vanderpump Rules.” Trash TV lover.

13.  Jojoba oil.

14.  Always, only in public by accident, but always hovers! Wash my hands every time.

15.  Looking for a Paul Rudd look-alike to make me laugh, in and out of bed. Sometimes sex is awkward, but if you can laugh about it and move through it, it’s amazing.

18.  Deodorant, but make sure it’s natural.

19. Relates to people easily. And my boobs.

22.  Two words, Let’s Roll. (As in, roller skating.)

23.  Uses tarot as prayer and guidance.    Mark Morin Shae Parker                             Lust List 2020 - Shae Parker "
