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!

NYC invades Carnival tonight!



Yes, the above photo is of Microbes. I have done the hard work finding his Myspace for you. Just try searching for his name in the Google. See if you get back a insane amount of science-y websites that have nothing to do with music. Maybe, just for fun, add the word "electro" and see what you get! Even more scientific jargon, I'll bet.

Apparently he is from a collective in NYC calling themselves The Ruff Club. From what I can gather, the six of them are prone to the color hot pink and had pretty decent taste in music as of September 2007.

Another member of the club is Denny Le Nimh. He didn't have a cool animated Gif, but he likes big yellow smiley faces and had the dopest Robin costume ever in 1979:



Catch them both at Carnival tonight as they show us how it's done in NYC (and vice versa).
