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!

Shameless Self Promotion


Tomorrow night I am playing with Andrew Spear at Sky60. Their website is promoting us as "O-towns infamous she/he dj-duo spinnin everything!" Sounds about right. It also uses my old-school DJ name - B-Strong - which I get a kick out of too. But the night is best described in one of Andrew's crazy MySpace bulletins, as you can see below:

***
THIS FRIDAY APRIL 18, 2008 can only mean one thing.

ANDREW SPEAR & BECKY KINNEAR @ SKY60 !!!

here's how it goes.

this is our dj breakdown.

.... BECKY will start, cause i can't, then i'll get nervous that no one will show up, cause it could rain, and then i'll start drinking, and so will she, then people will start to pour in and buy us shots, and someone will come up to us and request some type of music that isn't even close to what we are playing, and i'll insult, then forget who was there and how i got home, and the next day i'll think that i drank too much and left my records there, but they're in my car, and i'll promise myself i wont do that again,

THEN REALIZE HOW MUCH FUN IT WAS AND WANT TO DO IT EVERY WEEKEND !!!!!

but you don't need to know all that.

..... but you do need to know that this friday is

ANDREW SPEAR & BECKY KINNEAR
at SKY60 and that it's the best option you have.

and it's free with the passwords,
" i'm here to arrest the dj's "


FRIDAY April 18th, @ 10 p.m. without a doubt, o.k.
