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!

Bruce Campbell + Big Jef



Obviously, if you already have tickets to see Vampire Weekend, then you don't need my blog to tell you where to go tonight. Have fun cramming into Firestone with 8 million of your closest friends! If you don't have tickets, please read on!



Coliseum of Comics at the Fashion Square Mall has put together a comic book nerd's wet dream. Tonight is a very special double feature of "Evil Dead 2" and "Army of Darkness" at Premier Cinema (that's the semi-trashy mall movie theater with really bad graphic design in case you weren't sure). Tickets are only $10 for this awesomely cheesy event.



Also playing tonight at hole-in-the-wall Uncle Lou's is Big Jef Special, a self-proclaimed "eclectic blend of punk, country, rockabilly, blues music for the soul." Be sure to hit up Wally's across the street first to get your drink on.
