One can never have too many friends, whether you are the average person or a business that caters to bolstering social calendars. IOTA Club & Cafe is expanding it’s reach along with showing its support for its neighbors with their newest event starting tonight, LGBT & Straight Friends Social.
Every Tuesday, for those 21 years of age and older, the Arlington locale will play host to what owners Jane Negrey Inge and Stephen Negrey see as a growing population in the Clarendon area and throughout Northern Virginia.
“In planning this new weekly event, I’m trying to lighten up and not imagine arty or intellectual rumination, cultural connection and the like,” said Inge. “But it seems the LGBT community and their straight friends might benefit from a reliable place and a routine time to cross-pollinate … in the flesh rather than on the inter-webs.”
The owners have also asked NOVA Pride to set up a booth at the event to spread the word about their first-ever pride festival October 5 at Bull Run Special Events Center.
