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!

Toxic Avenger and Franki Chan in Orlando

Melvin was a 90lb. weakling until nuclear waste transformed him into... The Toxic Avenger!!! Oh wait, wrong one.

Toxic Avenger Orlando
The French are completely going off, as usual, and luckily the nice Saturday Thursday folks are making sure Orlando doesn't miss out by bringing the Toxic Avenger to our fair city. Anyone who classifies his music as "Emotronic / Christian Rap / Thrash" must know what he's doing. The mysterious masked man will be in effect this Thursday at Firestone along with Mr. IHEARTCOMIX himself, Franki Chan.

Check out the Christian Rap influence in his remixes:
