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!

The Second Coming

Pauly Crush and his crew have been trying for awhile to resurrect the once-lively Thursday night party and it looks like they may have finally succeeded. Tonight is the grand debut of J.E.S.U.S., the new weekly party that will replace the old Saturday Thursday at Firestone. Headlining this evening are Kid Sister and Flosstradamus – I guess the kids aren’t sick of them yet. The big question: can they turn the hip-hop haven of whack-attack Club ICON into the banging electro trash scene they crave? God only knows.

Sign up for the guestlist and get in free before 11.



Upcoming up @ J.E.S.U.S.
March 5th - Diplo
March 12th - Klever and A.C. Slater
March - Tba (They’re French)
March 26th - Calvin Harris and Gizmos
April 30 - Steve Aoki
