Our Gay History in 50 States is an educational book that tells the story of LGBTQ+ American history, state by state. The stories that make up this book celebrate significant people, places, and events, and highlight struggles, successes, and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community, creating a history to be passed onto future generations.
The state by state format illustrates that LGBT history happens in every state, everywhere LGBT people live, and that gay history is American history. We see this book as an opportunity to increase acceptance of the queer community, to highlight the diversity within the community itself, and to educate American society as a whole. Learn more about the book at gay50states.com

Studio Deep is a monthly social hour that offers the Minneapolis house music community an opportunity to experience a featured house music producer showcasing some of their studio work as part of a DJ mix. Additional artists are also invited each month to curate live sets to diversify the evening with a unique perspective.
Studio Deep aims to create a vibe that encourages you to relax, hold conversations, and connect with one another on a more intimate level than what might be possible at more typical club nights. While the primary music format is deep and soulful house, you may also be delighted by other electronic genres such as broken beat and chill/lounge grooves. The beautiful setting of the AC Hotel lounge complements the music and enhances the overall experience.
