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!

Tonight - Andrew Spear and MOT at Sky60


Your best bet this evening (weather permitting, of course) is to catch Andrew Spear and MOT under the stars at Sky60. One is an artist and one is a skate shop/sneaker entrepreneur: together they make up one of the best DJ duos in town.

What makes them the best? Maybe it's their eclectic music selections that range from electro to disco to rock to hip hop. Maybe it's the chemistry they show when they play off each other. Maybe it's the way they insult the crowd if they happen to have a microphone. Maybe it's all the Jager shots they put down.

Whatever it is, you should check them out. Tonight they claim to be playing "the shit that makes your parents want to cheat on each other." What more do you need???

Free admission with the password: "I'm here to Divorce my Parents!!!!"
