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!

Commies + AK1200

What better way to kick off your week than by watching awesomely bad 80's movies about communism while drinking beer? Redlight Redlight is hosting a Cold War movie night to help us reminisce the days before color-coded homeland security charts and terror threats.



Beginning at 5pm, they'll start off light with Spies Like Us; pick it up a little with some early computer hacking and potential global thermo-nuclear war with War Games; and, as a grand finale, all the communists in the world invade with Red Dawn. Karl Marx would be proud.



Drum n bass junkies should join the Torque crew over at Crooked Bayou tonight for the Autopsy CD release party featuring Orlando's own AK1200.

Happy Monday!
