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!

S.O.S.: Orlando's Bail Out Plan



Save Our Scene, Save Our Sound, whatever it stands for, it means the same thing...more fun times, more great dancing and more great music!

"Over the last few months the dance music scene that seemed to be so vibrant has begun to wane" says Republic Pro's Paul. So, in order to continue to bring great DJs and acts to Orlando, Smile For Camera and some other dudes you know is proud to present the first of two events in the S.O.S. concert series!

Hot Pink Delorean (Boston) will be kicking off the movement, tonight at Suite B. Last time they were here, it was a blast. See previous galleries and see the fun everyone had!

SOS Orlando will not be a new weekly night at any one particular club or even on a particular day of the week. What it will be is a chance to grab touring DJs and bring them to Florida when they otherwise wouldn’t be able to. Orlando has now become THE pivitol city in Florida in which a lot of touring DJs base their schedule on. SOS plans to keep bringing the national DJs through Orlando and Florida.

Suite B, the venue these first two events will take place at, has recently upgraded a ton of stuff. The sound system is better, the A/C is better, and most importantly, the drink special are insane!

Check this out!

10pm-11pm 2 for 1 Beer and Wine
11pm-12am 2 for 1 Bombs (Anything)
12am-1am 2 for 1 Mixed Drinks
1am-2am 2 for 1 Hard Shots
2am-3am 2 for 1 Pick You Up off the Floors (no its not a shot, it means you will be so passed out it will require two people to drag you out!)

So. In summary. Come out tonight, like you used to, to Suite B. Party like you used to.

And no, this isn't one more last carnival, just a chance to keep things moving on.

Oh, and FYI, Kcoll has moved (virtually - that is)and joined forces with Myself and others around to continue to remind you of what it was you did that friday night. So, For more information, photo galleries and write-ups check out the new Smile for Camera.
