Dear recent Orlando transplant:

Ok, so you just moved to Orlando from New York / Philly / Chicago / San Francisco / et al. You feel lost, uprooted, misplaced -- you're starting to think Orlando might suck. Eager to find some nightlife in this town, you go to Lattitudes on Church Street, Slingapour's on Wall Street and that mega-club on Orange Avenue owned by one of those Backstreet Boys (Orlando's finest celebrities). Maybe you even think International Drive, Citywalk or Downtown Disney is where everyone hangs out in this town. Now you really think Orlando sucks.

Well, you're wrong. There is more to this city than theme park "nightlife" and crappy clubs with guys wearing shiny shirts, but you have to know where to look. Instead of complaining about how lame Orlando is compared to your city of origin, why not get out there and support your new scene -- it's a lot better than you think! After all, you moved here for a reason, right? (I'm guessing to escape the cold weather.) So you can do one of two things: either 1) move back to the city you think is sooooo much more awesome or 2) quit bitchin', check the events below and DON'T SLEEP on the shit that is happening!

Don't want to drive to see Radiohead? Shipyard to the rescue!



If you're going to see Radiohead this coming Tuesday at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa but don't want to deal with the hassle of driving an hour and a half, paying for parking, having an unfortunate designated driver and trudging home after the show, you're in luck! For $25 you can snag a seat on the Shipyard Bus that will be departing from Crooked Bayou at 5:00 PM. And with Shipyard as your chauffeur, you can enjoy complimentary adult beverages the whole way. For more info and to reserve your coveted seat, visit the Beer Bomb Myspace page.

And don't forget about tomorrow night!!! Me and Nigel will be bringing the funk to The Peacock Room so be there!!!



Best flyer ever. \m/
