Mixx blends social, upscale atmosphere

Mixx blends social, upscale atmosphere

The owners of Mixx are in the middle of a series of renovations designed to make the club more comfortable and upscale — something they believe is lacking in LGBT Atlanta’s nightlife scene.

The bar first opened in 2009 as one of the only non-smoking venues in Midtown and has since become a popular after-work destination.

The 3,200 square-foot club features a large dance floor, two bars, a covered outdoor area and a wall-sized projection system that plays music videos.

Mixx hosts a variety of weekly events, including local pianist David Reeb, Texas Hold’em Poker and the weekly Grown and Sexy Party, but the bar’s owners are planning a series of upcoming events they hope will make Mixx a local nightlife fixture.

Aaron Born makes Fifth Ivory Public House a home
by Bo Shell

The Fifth Ivory

The Fifth Ivory Public House at the corner of Juniper and 10th Street is the kind of restaurant mash-up that requires several slashes in its description.

Piano bar / Southern kitchen / Irish pub might suffice, but to gay owner Aaron Born, the Midtown eatery’s hodgepodge is something much simpler: good, affordable food and drinks in comfortable surrounds with live piano six nights per week.

“It’s supposed to be a home,” Born says.

The restaurant, which was voted GA Voice’s 2012 “Best New Restaurant,” is a shared dream between Born and his longtime friend and now business partner Cam Murphy.

Dustin Brookshire: From rape to poetry
by Dyana Bagby   
August 03, 2012 00:00

Dustin Brookshire

Dustin Brookshire, 29, credits Anne Sexton for his love of poetry and the ability to express himself through words. That love has grown to create his new chapbook, "To the One Who Raped Me." The book is currently available through pre-order by publisher Sibling Rivalry Press with a launch party for the book set for Aug. 7 at 7:30 p.m at the Phillip Rush Center. We talked to him about the book and its haunting title and why it was important to him that $1 from each book sold go to the DeKalb Rape Crisis Center.

Tell us about the new chapbook you have coming out and why it is benefiting the DeKalb Rape Crisis Center.

My chapbook, “To The One Who Raped Me,” is currently in the pre-order phase from the fantastic Sibling Rivalry Press. The poems in the collection come from a period where I was trying to come to terms with the fact that I had been raped.

If we don’t take care of our bodies, where will we live? – Anonymous

Born, whose professional career started at a spa in the famed Casa Marina resort in Key West, Fla., is a firm believer in healthy movement.

Georgia queer writer named Lambda Literary Fellow
by Dyana Bagby   
June 22, 2012 00:00

Sarah Fonseca

Sarah Fonseca of Atlanta is currently finishing up her BA in Creative Writing at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Ga. and writing a memoir on being a queer Latina working in a Mexican restaurant. Recently, she was selected as the only person from Georgia to be a Lambda Literary Fellow.

Being named a Fellow is a dream come true for the 23-year old student and she hopes to raise enough money to make the trip to Los Angeles for the emerging writer’s retreat — or “queer writers boot camp” — and study under the likes of LGBT authors such as Dorothy Allison.

“On the last day the Lambda Literary Fellow application could be postmarked, I pawned my computer to make the fee. There was no afterthought: The Lambda Literary Emerging Writer’s Retreat is where I need to be. Had I not been accepted this year and the world remained intact after 2012, I would’ve applied next year, and the one after that,” she writes in a bio for the foundation.
