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!

08.08.08

So the big day is upon us: 08/08/08. The Olympics will start. Worlds will collide. And this week's edition of Get Mental at Sky60 will go the fuck off.



In case you haven't heard by now, there's a party on the roof starring Mr. Nate Day, the bestest, most awesomest DJ ever from the City of Angels. If you missed him last time, you better figure out a way to be there.

And wait -- it's also the bestest, most awesomest artist on the planet's birthday blowout. Yes, that would be Mr. Andrew Spear, who will be the big three-five (ouch). He'll probably be pretty drunk, to say the least.

The password this week comes in limited edition form, since only the first 50 people who use it will get in. Get there early, kids!!! If you're one of the chosen few, the phrase "Spearlife, still alive at 35 !!!" will get you in free!

This is THE party of the summer so don't want to miss out. In case you still need convincing, check out some past mixes from Nate Day and we'll see you there!



PS... it was even featured in the Orlando Weekly AND on Metromix Orlando this week. You have no more excuses, people!!!

Melanie Adds: Hey! I wrote that (in the weekly) and OMFG. Tonight will be amazing.
