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!

Rocket 88 + Pete "The Shaker" Bones

I am moving tomorrow. Moving sucks. Since I'm in the middle of packing everything I own, this has got to be quick.

If you like Rockabilly, go to The Peacock Room. There, you will find Rocket 88 and Big Jef Special. I am guessing you will also find tattooed girls with Bettie Page bangs and guys with pompadours. Just a guess.



If you like house music, head upstairs to Sky60 to see Pete "The Shaker" Bones. It's his birthday, so things should be crazy up there. And T.A.R.D. will be venturing away from Crooked Bayou to join in the festivities.



Happy Friday!!!
