Don't Sleep Orlando: Pop Off

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!

Pop Off

All right there, kiddos. The third installment of the (de)famed Pop Off party is taking place tonight at The Social. Get there early for free beer.

I'm ripping a Myspace post from the lovely Katie of Etoile Boutique, who also has some disco-unts for you participators:

POP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a no-brainer. Drink free for the first hour, drink cheap after that, and dance your pants off to the best DJs in Orlando. Plus it's a change of scenery. The last two were so much fun that you can't afford to miss this one. VJ Jay will be bringing his usual awesome visuals to the stage, and Etoile will again be selling all kinds of cool vintage.

AND.. if I can add something to Tyson's post, lemme just say this...
It starts later this time, so get down there at 10:30 for christs sake! FREE F_ING DRINKS for the 1st hour!! Who can argue with that?

That said, ETOILE BOUTIQUE will not only be unveiling a grip of new insane vintage and handmade that night...AND if you are good and come during the first hour, I will reward you with a 15% DISCOUNT on any one item you buy that night, and a $10.00 OFF COUPON for the next time you visit the storefront! It don't get much better than that, my friends.

So after you watch my man, Obama, make history (the anniversary of the I Have a Dream speech??? Seriously??? Fuck.) and the sunshine of my life, Stevie Wonder, sing his heart out, go celebrate a the beginning of a new era with the crazy Rocksteady Soundsystem.
