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!

Dew Underground: Orlando


Orlando got a nice little ego boost this past Sunday from Fuel TV when they aired the "Dew Underground: Orlando" segment they filmed while here on the last stop of the Dew Tour. They went to a few skate parks, Gatorland (I guess it's "extreme" to play with alligators) and interviewed a few local kids like Andrew Spear, Dustin Orlando and Solillaquists of Sound. All in all, a pretty decent representation of our little scene. Check out the individual segments here.

If you want to catch it on actual TV, it will be airing a bajillion million more times. Here's the official schedule:

Sunday 10/26/2008 -- 8:30 PM / 5:30 PM PT
Sunday 10/26/2008 -- 11:30 PM ET / 8:30 PM PT
Monday 10/28/2008 -- 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT
Tuesday 10/29/08 -- 4:00 PM ET / 1:00 PM PT
Wednesday 10/31/2008 -- 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT
Sunday 11/03/2008 -- 2:00 PM ET/ 8:00 AM PT
Monday 11/04/2008 -- 6:30 PM ET/ 3:30 PM PT

On another note, I'm compiling the Halloween festivities this weekend and will post them all tomorrow. Stay tuned!
