Kibbles, Bits, and Saturday/Thursday.

Posted by J. Chris Callahan On July - 30 - 2008 9 COMMENTS

Tomorrow is Saturday/Thursday at Club Firestone! Please drink, dance, fu*k and repeat responsibly as nobody wants to wake up the next morning hungover next to a fatty..

The horn is back to make EVERYONE aware about open bar every thirty minutes. The trick to it: tip your bartenders well, and they’ll take care of you first all night.. but that’s common sense anywhere you go.. except at Mako’s apparently.

Also, the response for people using our guest list online was amazing. – You guys have until 5:00pm tomorrow to put your name on our guest list (it takes about 30 seconds).

As displayed today at the UCF Student Union – Ryan King will be in attendance and has promised a handful of ladies that he’ll be taking his shirt off to the sound of the horn every thirty minutes!

On that note, we’ll have to get another W.O.W. post up here – because there were some beautiful girls in the house last week. But the best part to that is that most of them were single.. SCORE!

“Single ladies – I can’t hear ya’ll! Single ladies – make noise!”

.. and for everyone who’s looking for photos from Sh*t Show, so I can stop getting emails – they were up – but half of them went corrupt with zshare.net, so once I get my computer out of a box and plugged in at the new house, they’ll be up (late tonight, tomorrow when I get up). If photos aren’t up the next day – calm the fu*k down or go get your photos taken by ZeeFlash..

Speaking of emails and ZeeFlash – thanks for reading our blog. And you’re welcome for the publicity and my link to your website. I mean, afterall, you were mentioned on the third best website in Orlando. I thought a “thank you,” email would have been more appropriate than the “what is your problem” one. No hard feelings, nobody needs to take things too personally.. Right, Defame? (I’m tearing it up with these direct links. They conveniently open in another window. I love it.) I should really be getting more “thank you” emails.. I wouldn’t worry about it though, because we all know nobody reads this anyway, Zolar. KnightLyfe doesn’t take it personal, and they’re probably mentioned more than anyone.. but I only do it because Stylez is a hot dude and Sobes is the shit. There’s no such thing as bad publicity. I’d mention Xclusive more if I could stand them.. :)

If you made it through Student Union today at UCF, and did not get one of the free cupcakes – you missed out..

Today’s post is brought to you by a good friend of mine: Daniels, Jack.

Saturday’s Incident of Greatness.

Posted by J. Chris Callahan On July - 29 - 2008 10 COMMENTS

.. so I’m standing outside of the Octagon last Saturday night. You know, mingling, scoping out the promoters from Knightlyfe loitering around outside – the usual.

That night Knightlyfe had a bus taking everyone from University and Dean to Roxy.. so the bus is just hanging around outside on the curb. From there – things became hilarious. The bus decides to move and relocate to the nearest sports jacket. Granted – old people shouldn’t be driving in the first place.. However, in doing this, the bus collides into the foundation of The Octagon and busts in their sign above the door. How do you explain to your boss that you.. ran into a building with your bus?

.. what could have made this even funnier – yet more predictable is if this was a female driver. We all know women can’t drive… :)

Kidding, ladies. Just kidding.

Just another night at The Octagon.

George Bush hearts Urban Outfitters.

Posted by Brian 'Docta' Dawe On July - 25 - 2008 12 COMMENTS

Glitter and Gold should have been all over this one! I read this article on EatSkeet.com, our friend Skeet Skeet’s blog and had to repost it here for you guys to see. As you know The Urban Outfitters brand is a staple in the indie scene and taste-maker community in Orlando. That store, along with Apple, has virtually taken over the Millenia Mall. I am really into a lot of the lines that they carry, and if it wasn’t for them and Covert all of Orlando’s youth would look like Scoops on a Friday night, uuhhhuumm. It was shocking though to find out that Urban Outfitters isn’t some upstart company brought to success by a couple of college age fashion visionaries. I’m sure their predominantly liberal customer base (myself not included) would be surprised to find out the following, Read on….

“The Urban Outfitters brand is a bastion of liberal freedoms. The products sold in its stores can be irreverent, quirky, and on the the cutting edge. This brand reputation is how they have distinguished themselves in the marketplace.

An interesting article from ThisIsMoney, suggests that there’s a gap between the liberal brand reputation which Urban Outfitters has established, and the conservative viewpoints of its corporate company.

“Urban Outfitters is a triumph of marketing – a hugely successful business that has disguised the gap between what it is and what its customers suppose it to be.”

From This is Money:

It seems unlikely that many of the staff or the customers know much about the owner and boss of Urban – a brilliant retailer called Richard Hayne whose views would be a serious risk to sales were his profile to rise.

Hayne started the business in the 1970s, taking it public in 1993 and bringing it to Britain in 1998. He is still the biggest shareholder and a seriously rich man – a billionaire by some estimates. You only have to look to see that there is nothing remotely hip about him. There is surely a bigger gulf between Hayne and his customer base than any other High Street retailer.

Shopping in Urban makes you feel like you are somewhere radically Left-wing, an antidote to the corporate blandness of The Gap. But Hayne is a stanch conservative who donates money to Republican politicians, not least Rick Santorum, a now failed Senator whose views on homosexuality are both bizarre and old-fashioned.

Hayne doesn’t give many interviews precisely because he’s afraid that college slackers who get to know him will suddenly realise that buying his clothes is like giving cash to George Bush.

By the way, LA thought urban outfitters was wack a long time ago… I’m not going to lie though, they do have some cool shit and in a city like Orlando where the options are limited they are one of the few stores that stand out, retail chain or not.

Feed the Animals!!

Posted by E-Rock On July - 24 - 2008 1 COMMENT

Mash-up/Smash-up/Bootleg/Cut-up master, Pittsburgh-native Gregg Gillis, AKA Girl Talk, is back at it again; this time with a freshly chopped batch of mixes in the newly-released-a-month-ago, Feed the Animals.

Designed to be listened to as one seamless track, the album plays through as if it took a thousand cd’s and vinyl albums, blended them up and spit them out. In the third track, Still Here, he squeezes in samples from Kanye West (“Good Life“), Youngbloodz (“Damn!”), BLACKstreet (“No Diggity”), Michael Jackson, some more Kanye, and then finishing it off with some Radiohead (“15 Step”) for good measure – and that’s just the first 1:25 of the almost 4 minute track.

The fourth of his LPs released on Illegal Art [sixth release, including 2 EPs on other labels], Feed the Animals contains over 300 samples of pop/rock/rap/jazz/indie/etc in over 50 minutes – a definite step from his freshman release, Secret Diary.

Feed the Animals is being sold online similarly to how Radiohead released their In Rainbows – pay whatever you like. For $5, you get an option of FLAC files, plus a seamless mix of the album; and for $10, you also get a packaged CD (when it’s released around September 23)

“Anyone can download an album for free… I just wanted to acknowledge reality. I think it makes it easier for people to get their hands on the music, which is my number one priority.” -Gregg Gillis, AKA Girl Talk, on the reasoning behind the pay-what-you like system

Gillis has become known for his ingenious blends of every genre, but his most famous – the one everyone goes apeshit for? The infamous Biggie-Elton John “Juicy/Tiny Dancer” mash (Night Ripper – Track 5 – Smash Your Head).  Amazing.

Feed the Animals looks to solidify Gillis’ title of mash-up master, especially when coupled with his previous album, Night Ripper; one of Rolling Stone’s best albums of 2006. With a rhythmic cadence and almost mathematical precision, this release is a definite leave-on-during-a-badass-pool-party-and-rock-out-all-day album.

Dr. Warren from E-harmony has come out of the matchmaker closet to reveal that he is, in fact, the real Facebook founder.

 

“Fuck that kid!” stated Warren, referring to current Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

 

As for plans for the future of Facebook, Warren stated that he plans to use your relationship status as a guide to how much “21 and still single?” ads he should place on your home page.

Daytona Beach.

Posted by J. Chris Callahan On July - 22 - 2008 4 COMMENTS

Well, to start things off in true fashion – it’s great NOT to be a Daytona Beach resident.

Of course, you have the beach. There’s nothing more relaxing than a lazy day.. or two, lounging out on the beach drunk. However, I’m really not sure that there’s anything more to say about Daytona than that. Their clubs are a bit rundown/outdated and it looks like nobody’s told them it’s 2008, yet. And, most importantly.. if you live on the beach – SAND GETS EVERYWHERE! Who would really want to vacuum out their car that much?.. Not it.

It’s pretty much your One Walmart Town.. and apparently a lot of people went to Woodstock from the area. I think it was the first time a Walmart employee started a story with, “So I use to smoke a lot of pot..”

.. and who wants a margarita without alcohol in it anyway, right Sam?

However, I will say one thing: Daytona people know how to party.. and you’re invited any day of the week. I love me some beach girls.

.. this weekend we’re going to Cocoa Beach. They allow drinking on the sands. Keep it aluminum or plastic, though, kids. If you want to go – we’re pooling together for gas (a ride there and back) and limitless beer. Something to the EFFEKT of $5-10. So come on, Snoop. Bring your green hat, too.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY!:

Thursday night. Saturday/Thursday – be there. If you’d like to be on a guest list – just shoot me an email.

Saturday/Thursday!

Well first off, I feel obligated to thank everyone at Orlando Weekly..

(But really, you guys are amazing, and we’ve got nothing but respect for everything you guys do.)

Now that that’s done with – let’s get started.

We had some cute ones.

We had some angels.

We had some not so cute ones.. haha.

J. Chris Callahan

and some odd ones.. :)

J. Chris Callahan

But all in all – Thursday night with Orlando Weekly was amazing. Thanks to everyone to came out to support it. A special thanks to Ian Monroe and Dechoes last Thursday. You guys are amazing. If you ever want to come out again – let me know. You’ll be in good hands.

And, don’t think I’ve forgotten about you, Waldo Faldo – even if everyone else has. Thanks for stopping in. Congrats on the 2nd place-tie for Best Electronic Act (Kill to Win).

If I were you, I’d sit down with a box of the new M&M’s ice cream treats and catch a glimpse of some evening showers. And I also, might I add, plan to go out on Friday night with the OCC crew. We’ll be taking over Voyage this Friday with Peanut Butter and Fridays! We’ve got resident dj GFY (I’d like to solve the puzzle, Pat.) and Docta Dawe (Voted #2 Best DJ in Orlando per Orlando Weekly) spinning this and every Friday. You can’t go wrong with free cover, $2 wells, $2 shots, and 2 for 1s!

.. it’s Peanut Butter and Fridays, bitches!

Orlando Weekly!

Best of Orlando

First off, I’d like to welcome our new readers to the third best website in Orlando. Secondly, I’d like to thank Orlando Weekly for the opportunity – actually, well.. what the f*ck? – how’d we not beat Red, White, and Douche for best blog? No hard feelings.

(Incase they read this, I’m sorry. I’m just playing “tough.” I really like your blog [Red, White, and Dude]. It’s… good.)

Secondly, I’d like to thank Jesus. – For all.. actually, I don’t know where I was going with this. Thank you, Orlando Weekly for the opportunity.. blah blah blah.

Notable Rankings:

Best Service You Don’t Use:

Orange County Library System’s MAYL program.

The books are delivered to your door step. I mean, come on – how much easier could it be. It’s free, anyway. I did that back when I was in “good standing” with OCLS. You know, before I “owed them money.” – Whatever that means. I think I owe them some money for The Perks of Being a Wallflower. But we all know you can own the book by stealing it from Barnes and Noble by removing the paper alarm piece. I’ll walk you through it..

Best Furniture Store:

IKEA.

This was the talk of Chicago. Now, it’s become an Orlando phenomenon. I personaly own a few coveted items from Ikea, and I’d definitely recommend their picture frames/furniture. Orlando: Don’t be lazy – and just put some things together yourself. Feel free to brag about putting it together as well.. you’re American now with your Swedish furniture!

… and so my attention span has run short. So let’s cut to the chase.

#2 Best DJ in Orlando – Docta Dawe.

#3 Best Local Website – www.OrangeCountyConcepts.com

.. and we’re celebrating it this Thursday, bitches! We’re more than happy to host the Orlando Weekly Awards Party at Saturday/Thursday this Thursday at Club Firestone! You won’t want to miss this as Docta Dawe spins while Orange County Concepts and Orlando Weekly take over the night!

Make sure you get a copy of Orlando Weekly’s “Best of Orlando 2008″ publication that’s out NOW!

So apparently Scoop is turning into the local version of Mako’s and I love it! Getting gorgeous ladies to give shots out and climb ropes half naked…who doesn’t want to add that to their “To Do” list for a night out?

If you missed it last Friday…I don’t know what to say to you. You should be smacked.

And how about this group photo? All of them are looking good! This picture couldn’t get any better…OH WAIT. The blonde is holding up a Saturday/Thursday card upside down? Shit.

And who could forget about the Girl vs. Girl Dance Battle Royal? Ohhhh man.

<3 you Scoop!

And how about The After party @ Saturday/Thursday this week??? Oh goodness! Travis McCoy tore the damn thing up after Warped Tour. Our favorite bartender Christina was looking way too good as usual!

And these two green drinks look really really good. Lime? Apple? Green Grape? Pear? Anyone know?

Make sure to be at our events every week! Take pictures with our photographer and see if you can make it on the front page of OrangeCountyConcepts.com! Good luck ladies!

Where’d You Say You Were From, Again?

Tonight’s blog is brought to you by:

Top Cigarette Papers.

Top Fine Gum Cigarette Papers!

I couldn’t help myself, and I thought this would be entertaining to a few people..

So as I’m reading through OrlandoWeekly.com‘s Event Calendar as they usually shed light on some lesser known events in the area – and because I like to stay in the know. BBBBEEECCAAAAAUUUSSSEEEEE KNOWLEDGE IS POOWWEERR!

And to my surprise, I read the following:

Thursday, July 15 at Vintage Lounge, Orlando

Fame with Chris Kirkpatrick

However, in searching through the calendar getting as far as the 25th – they forgot to mention the biggest event of the century! Dustin Diamond will be performing live for Bonkerz Comedy club downtown the 25th and 26th. You’re probably thinking that this is too good.. and that they probably want a lot of money for tickets?? Right, right? — Well, they do. $20?!?! Are you serious? Who in their right mind would pay $20 to see Dustin Diamond?

Bliss.. haha.

Oh, look! It’s at Bliss Ultra Lounge!

However, the good news is that I saw later in the month that RX Bandits are playing at The Social.

Night, ya’ll.

Saturday Night.

Just in case anyone reads this:

Sh*tShow Saturday is canceled for tonight. Stayed tuned – more updates coming through within the next few days. Dawe’s been out all day – and will be returning back in front of a computer sometime tonight to post Saturday/Thursday photos from The After Party.

In the mean time, cheer up, Panda. Sh*tShow might be getting a new home. :)
In other news: The Rocky Horror Picture Show is playing at Universal City Walk. Two thumbs up. (If they ask you if you’d like a Twinkie- just say, “No. No, thank you.”)

Cocoa Beach around “Coconuts” is the place to be tomorrow (Sunday). Some of you kids really need some sun.

And happy birthday to Flounder, who will probably never read this – as it’s his 21st today. We all know how those go.

Also, “Waldo Faldo,” did you ever get our Saturday/Thursday AfterParty flyers? We made sure you got a few extra ones.. :)

And I leave you with….. THIS:

The After Party with Travis McCoy!

Your song for the night:

DJ Caffeine – On The Floor

 Drugged out, coked up, drunkard, non-caring waste of a mother? Or just another fucked up day for Amy Winehouse? I just find it hilarious that she’s taking a shot with a kid in her arms. Turns out that this isn’t even her kid…she apparently borrowed it for the afternoon.   Welp, Im looking forward to seeing what other fucked up shit comes from this delirious bitch. Where is J Chris Callahan when you need him? Come on sir…I need an awesome comment on this right about now!
