Four things to do tonight

There's nothing like a busy Thursday to distract you from your bankrupt 401(k).

SEX AND WINE: The second annual "Sex, Wine and Chocolate" takes place at Park Tavern at 7 p.m. The event includes queer performers Lakara Foster, burlesque performer Vagina Jenkins and poet Yolo Akilia and raises funds to benefit SPARK and Project South. The groups work on civil rights issues in Georgia. Read more about SPARK.

GAYS FOR OBAMA: Gay and lesbian supporters of Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid hold a rally and information session at Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m.

PROSPECTIVE PARENTS: YouthPride is hosting an informational session for prospective foster parents and their mentors. The session will also address how to help gay and lesbian youth who have been forced out of their foster home. The 7 p.m. event takes places at YouthPride's offices in Inman Park.

FLAG FOOTBALL: The National Flag Football League of Atlanta continues its fall season with action tonight beginning at 6 p.m. Games take place at the Piedmont Park athletic fields. Can we say eye candy? Speaking of eye candy, there's a photo album from Week 1.

Of course, there's always the Biden-Palin debate at 9 p.m., which should provide no shortage of drinking games when Palin says something nonsensical.

Is anyone watching the WNBA?

In addition, the league formed new marketing partnerships with several leading companies including McDonald's, Kia Motors and Pitney Bowes.

There's more after the jump.

David Beckham month by month

You can never get enough of David Beckham. Thankfully, we don't have to try because the soccer stud makes it so easy to keep up with his every move.

The newest buzz around Becks is over images from his 2009 calendar hitting the blogosphere. The 12 photos provide a more gritty Beckham. You know, more gritty than say when he's on a billboard in his briefs. That's a different sort of dirty.

Social Tuesdays premiere a hit

The newest entrant to gay nightlife and networking premiered on Tuesday.

Social Tuesdays, the creation of Chris Coleman and Kurt Edwins, premiered at Geisha House in Atlantic Station last night. The event filled the second floor bar at the upscale locale with a well-coiffed group of mostly gay men for drinks, conversation and networking.
