When I can just masturbate to this…

A brief recap:

February 2009, the Student Workers Club of Boulder High (Boulder, CO), petition the county school board to change the name of the school from “Boulder High” to “Barack Obama High”.   The school’s SWC president says

“the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth to commemorate both the role he had in making the election of Barack Obama possible and the social progress that has been made since he issued the emancipation proclamation.”

Boulder High principal Bud Jenkins retorted with an ever-supportive:

“With all due respect to the president,” the principal added, “of all the things in the world that need to be changed, Boulder High School’s name is probably way down the list.

This campaign came almost on the heels of Long Island’s Ludlum Elementary changing their name to, clevery put, “Barack Obama Elementary School”.  That’s right.  “The students wrote mock debates and watched the polls and were excited to do something they could feel pride in”, a parent said.  On another note, the schools population is 62% Hispanic and 36% black African-American.  I believe the remaining 2% of the students child prodigies must be somewhat divided between these three socio-economic groups:

Recently, the Young Conservatives of Texas spoke out against a bill which would rename a portion of Interstate 20 in honor of Obama.One of the YCT’s Directors had this to say about the bill:

“Finally, naming memorials for sitting politicians is not consistent with American traditions. We believe it represents the dangerous trend of Americans blindly worshiping politicians rather than diligently holding them accountable to the best interests of the nation.”

The above-quoted Mr. Ed Oden (if that is your real name), also a champion of the obvious, offered this interesting musing:

“Soviet Russia erected hundreds of statutes of Stalin while he ruled. In Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, one would drive down the Saddam Hussein Expressway to the Saddam Hussein Airport… You don’t find this in America.”

Hmm. Very poignant indeed.  I’ll have to keep abreast of that situation.

Fast forward… circa summer 2009, Orlando.

Well, while we didn’t build a statue, Orlandoans now have something else to bitch about.

We the people, of the City Beautiful, now have our own piece of history.   Congrats!

Apparently this has been official since late May, but no one I know has seen this, and the sign looks as if it was just built last week.   Moving on…

It was a unanimous vote, partly spearheaded by Orlando’s favorite racist hypocrite beeyatch, Commissioner Daisy Lynum. [For those of you who don't know her career has been a little scuffed when it comes to the subject of racial lines, as you can read here and here.]

Anyway, I briefly heard about this a month ago, but nobody knew exactly where it was.  A quick Google Maps search on my iPhone (apparently the B.O. Parkway is in the MMS messaging update?) yielded no such luck:

Hmm.. Not quite what i expected.

No fear, just head down Conroy road to the “old” intersection of Conroy Road and Mission Road.  And you will be greeted by this:

All 800 or so feet of it.   Ahh, what a fitting honor.  A street driveway with nothing on it.

“Yet”, says the City of Orlando.  They plan to expand on it.

 Although anyone that’s driven on the 408/417/528/E. 50/Turnpike/W. 50/Church Street/Downtown/I-4/pretty much any street that’s not in Windermere, knows that that statement is bullshit bullshit (let’s be honest.)  And by the time that B.O. Parkway is “filled out”, America will be caught up in a maelstrom of some other razzle-dazzle politician, and we will be chomping at the veritable teat and/or teabag of whoever the next great worthless hopeless politician with enough panache to send us to the polls in record numbers, blindly just voting at the next great white biracial Muslim philandering draft-dodging smoke-but-not-inhaling eskimo female (just not Palin, please) hype.

Happy driving Orlando!  Oh, and click it or ticket!  That 0.2mi stretch of road is dangerous. Until we can get one of these up… take it easy out there.

So just about everyone in the UCF/Orlando area read and/or commented on my blog about how lame promoting around this town has become here and here, so this blog will be somewhat of a sequel to that, in a sense.

I’m swag surfing FaceBook today and I see a status update from none other than Clint “Mr.Orlando” House that goes a little something like this…

Gasp.

 You read right folks, Mr. Orlando is officially hanging up his blazers (or should I say blazer) and throwing in the towel on the city that coined his now infamous nickname. Can you blame him? I definetly cannot. One thing I can say is that Clint gave it his best shot. Let’s re-cap, in picture form.

 Clint popped up in the nightlife scene by promoting for WhatsHot with Chris Nault and Rob Hype…

(Nault has lost some weight since then, eh? He and Mikey Stylez must be on the same diet because they are both looking way buff these days, no homo. Dawe, you could take some advice from those two.)

Clint left WhatsHot due to financial issues within the company (gasp again) and decided, because he has 2,000+ FaceBook friends, that he should start his own company and thus Revolution Nights was born.

I guess no one had the balls to tell Clint that there was a gay club with the same name but whatever. If that wasn’t enough to scratch your head about, he then made a logo to get people to join his ‘revolution’ which looks like someone from South Carolina might have made to make a statement about OTHER things.

Wow.

 And so the revolution began. Now, Clint might not have started a revolution in nightlife but he sure did make a revolution in graphic design.

Can we get the number to your graphic designer? Please? I mean, how does he know how to do all those cool tricks on MS Paint?

Ok, Revolution Nights was a bust, so Clint decided to re-brand himself and his company by going back to the moniker that he had while working for Biggins, Mr. Orlando.

Clint then secured himself a night at Antiqua, Project Bikini.

Obviously hired a different graphic artist this time cause this one isn’t too bad. It isn’t too good either, because they forgot to put one instrumental thing on the flyer, the date. Being the professional Mr. Orlando is, he pulled out his handy silver colored Sharpie and added the date in himself.

Clint went all in on this party, posting status updates about it once every 30 mins. He even found time to post status updates while swooning the ladies…

Project Bikini was apart of the 4th of July weekend extravaganza Mr. Orlando promised us. Wednesday at Antiqua, Friday at Bliss (also a bikini party) and concluding it all Saturday with the biggest joke of a 4th of July party in Orlando history, the “I’m on a Boat” party, which was cancelled last minute due to nobody giving a shit or willing to pay the ridiculous ticket price.

Mr. Orlando obviously failed to do his homework because…

1. Chillers owns Church Street on Wednesday nights and has for years now.

2. OCC did a bikini party mere weeks before at Antiqua, which would end up being the death of STEREO because it was THAT bad.

So after 3 failed attempts at starting new nights around town (Fusian, Antiqua, and let’s not forget Medicis) he did what no one was expecting and joined forces with Mikey Stylez to help him launch his newest night at Roxy, Models and Bottles. After the first week success of Stylez’ new party, Clint then made himself an official KnightLyfer. Why? Who the fuck knows.

Here he is pictured with DJ19Sixty and his freshly shaven arms…

According to Mikey Stylez, Clint pulled $500 that night, which Dawe and I both think is too saucy to be true but if you did Clint, good job. Don’t spend all that money on Bud Light and Marlboro Lights.

One thing Clint did do which I thought was both slick and pathetic at the same time was make a FaceBook group while the Orlando Magic were in the playoffs titled ‘Magic are going to the finals!!’ or something along those lines. In this group, he amassed 1,000+ people. Well, as you know, the Magic didn’t make it past Phil Jackson and his 9 rings, so Clint did what any sleezy promoter would do. He changed the name of his group to ‘I party with Mr. Orlando!’.

Bravo. Rather than make a new group, you just changed the name of the one you made about sports and turned it into a group about partying. Anyway, so after Mikey Stylez made it rain on Clint (no homo) because of that $500 first night at Roxy, Clint then changed the name of the group AGAIN, this time to ‘KnightLyfe.com’. Incredible. Absolutely incredible, Clint.

That brings us to today, where we are left to ask ourselves, what happened? Was the money not good enough? Did they take your microphone from you at the club for laughing into it too much and that rubbed you the wrong way? Did someone steal your bottle of Verdi out of VIP that Stylez gave to you for a job well done? We need answers; the public deserves to know.

 Or was it just for reasons that I explained in the blog that started all this?

Disclaimer: This blog was not meant to be an “I hate Clint House” blog, but merely a busting of the chops. Clint is my friend and knows this should be taken with the smallest grain of salt out of the shaker (as should anything I said about anyone else IE: Stylez, Nault and 19sixty). In the end, you obviously made some type of impression on people if I decided to take time out to write this detailed blog about you. Congrats Clint, you finally got your own blog on OCC.

So I was listening to the Drew Show podcast, which just so happens to feature Drew Garabo from Real Radio 104.1 fame, and heard them mention something about this.

Bee-Tee-Dubs this podcast is probably some of the best shit Drew has ever done since his circa 98-01 days and its uncensored so I suggest you check it out if you were ever a fan or have only heard of him as that guy who DJ’d on O-Rock. Yes, they do ‘Make ‘Em Say Ugh’ and shit.

Anyway, back to The King.

Apparently Burger King is now selling ribs? I can’t say that I wake up with the king nor do I eat there regularly but, ribs? What the fuck? Is it even McRib season at McDonalds?

$2.99

MMMmmmmMMMmmm.

I would never eat these but I wouldn’t put it past Mr. Dawe. If I did, they look as if I could take them down in less than 45 seconds because of how small they are.

In a video posted Monday (July 20) on BeastieBoys.com, Adam “MCA” Yauch announced that he has cancer and the group is canceling all upcoming shows (and pushing back the release of their Hot Sauce Committee, Part One album) while he receives treatment for it.

“The reason we’re here talking is because I have some pretty heavy news to say,” Yauch said in the video. “About two months ago, I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like what you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that… and so I didn’t really think it was anything. But then recently, when we were over in Europe doing promotion, I started to think that I should talk to my doctor, so I … saw him when I got back, and he sent me to a specialist. They did tests, and I actually have a form of cancer in the gland that’s over here, in the parotid gland, and it’s also in the lymph node right in that area.”

The parotid is the largest of the salivary glands. It is wrapped about the mandible bone and aides in chewing and swallowing by secreting saliva.

Flanked by bandmate Ad-Rock, Yauch said that he’s going to have surgery and begin radiation with the next week, and while the news sounds dire, doctors are optimistic that he should make a full recovery.

“The good news is, they did scans of my whole body and it’s only localized in this one area, and it’s not in a place that affects my voice, so … that’s nice. That’s convenient,” he laughed. “So it’s a little bit of a setback — it’s a pain in the ass — but this is something that’s very treatable, and in most cases … they’re able to completely get rid of it, and people don’t have continuing problems with it, and they’ve caught it early and it’s not anywhere else in my body. So, that’s the good news.”

Yauch concluded the video message by apologizing to all Beastie Boys fans for having to cancel the groups’ upcoming shows — including headlining slots at the All Points West festival on July 31 and Lollapalooza on August 8 — and joking that his illness will give Ad-Rock time to work on his Kenny Rogers-themed country band.

“This will be a great opportunity,” he laughed. “You’ll have some time now. This is going to be big.”

EMI, the Beastie Boys’ label, released a statement confirming the news. “Our thoughts, love and prayers are with Adam Yauch, his family and the Beastie Boys,” the statement said. “The most important thing is to allow Adam to focus on staying healthy. We wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.”

I don’t know whats more brutal, the fact that MCA has a form of cancer, or how incredibly old him and Ad-Rock look.

Despite warnings from OCC about the black hole that is Fusian Ultra Lounge, Smileforecamera.com is debuting a brand new night at Casey Anthony’s favorite party spot tonight. This venue has seen pretty much every promotional company in Orlando attempt a party at least once, and has seen quite a few failures.

If anything has a chance of working in this venue, I say this will be the party. I am a huge fan of smileforcamera.com and there is NOTHING to do in this entire city right now, so there really couldn’t be a more prefect time to try something different. I have my fingers crossed that this weekly party will be a success.

Congratulations on another successful year as Orlando’s premiere alternative weekly publication. With the arrival of the “best of 2009” issue, I can’t help but notice that I was not given an invitation to the “Best of Orlando” party, again! I have been completely distraught over this, as last year not only did our lovely site place a hard fought #3 in the “Best Local Internet Site” category, but I also placed #2 in the “Best Club DJ”. How come I never received a classy “Best of Orlando” framed plaque like everyone else?!?! What may have slipped under the radar of many of the fine employees of the Orlando Weekly, is that last year, despite not getting an invite to the “Best of” party, I actually made it in anyways…. as the DJ.

Here I am proudly sporting my custom made “#2″ shirt to commemorate my status as almost a winner.

So this is where the blog turns from friendly chatter to sour apples. This years winners are no surprise to me. By looking at these results I see that not only have we not evolved as a city, we have actually taken steps backwards (the reasons to which I mention on a blog by blog basis). I will revisit this topic again later…

As far as the “Best Club DJ” category goes, I took myself out of the running, because I have not been the best club DJ in Orlando the past year. In 2008 I deserved it, 2009, not as much. Kittybat, and Y-NOT definitely deserve the honor, as they are both sick DJs. I am glad to see that deserving DJs took home this honor, and that the popularity contest element took the back seat to skill. Pauly Crush, also, deserves credit, as he has pioneered a long running night (Crush) that has been successful for many years now, something that was virtually unheard of in Orlando before his arrival. I can sleep well at night knowing this award was given to the right people.

The most disappointing category in this years awards is the “Local Color” section. When is Billy Manes (Not to be confused with the dead Oxyclean guy) going to NOT win the “Best Local Writer” award? How can you win best writer, in your own newspapers category? One look at this fucking category and I seriously want to move as far away from this city as possible. I am so tired of the same old names and faces. But in all fairness, they did have a few good Orlando Weekly picks, but I don’t understand the supposed “reader picks”. Who the fuck goes to metromix? How can this POSSIBLY be in the top websites? LAME. How does “The Daily City” win best blog?!? No offense, but Daily City, Who are you?

We are the best blog in Orlando. Period.

I could go on for five more paragraphs but I am already bored with this blog. I will close with this… I am glad there is a newspaper like the Orlando Weekly in this town, to call out the bullshit in this city, especially with some of our local elected officials and the constant bureaucracy, scandal, and corruption that surrounds them. So even though we have been blacklisted by The Weekly in 2009, our hats go off to the paper that keeps ‘em honest and tell it like it is… MOST of the time.

I pulled this mix off of Y-NOT’s blog, its pretty dope. O.U.R. SHOW RADIO Mix archive from 5/9/2009. You can check him out every Sat from 5-7PM on 91.5 WPRK FM.

Hey guys

Anthony Johnson here. I’m the newest guest poster for Orange County Concepts, and the director of the world’s largest convention for dating and lifestyle advice (mostly for men, but women are always welcome).

Each year I gather the world’s top “dating coaches” (and others with awesome content to share) into one location along with a large audience- this year finally breaking into the triple digits.

Every year, we film the event and release it 100% free in streaming high quality format right on the home page- actually true HD for coming 2009 footage.

It’s a unique event, with information you’re not going to find anywhere else, and never for such a fair price.

And as the title states, the third year is here (sort of). We’re kickin off next Thursday morning and ending Sunday night around 8pm.

Some past speakers have included…

• Sinn (as featured in the best selling book The Game
• Adam Lyons (the world’s “second best Pickup Artist”)
• Braddock of Love Systems (recently filmed for The Tyra Banks Show, airing this week)
• Mehow (as seen on Current TV and Young Hollywood)

In 2009 some new speakers we have attending (over 20 total!) that you may have heard of…

• James Matador (of Vh1′s The Pickup Artist, Season 1 and 2)
• Nick Sparks and Christian Hudson (of The Social Man- as seen on CNN)
• Nathan (full time instructor for Real Social Dynamics)
• Dj Fuji (Mehow’s former chief instructor)
• Julian Foxx (famous for this video with Neil Strauss, Mystery, and Matador)
• Drew Baye (world renowned personal trainer, speaking on body building and proper strength training)

Anyway, I’m not here to spam up the blog, but if your curiosity is sparked head on over to the official convention blog for further details including the full lineup, speaking schedule, hints at a few surprises, and of course, how to nab one of the remaining 9 tickets ($259.95).

Or, visit the home page www.The21Convention.com and take a look at the footage yourself for an excellent idea of what to expect this year at The Crowne Plaza of Downtown Orlando.

Thanks

Special K and company have been promoting their pool party pretty heavily over the last week. They have gone through 5,000 flyers in 3 days, which is pretty respectable in the promotional world. I know they have high hopes for this event and have put a lot into the promotions, and the actual event itself. Its a little different that the last few pool parties I have been involved in, its not at an apartment complex, it is on 5 acres of private party. So if your looking for another Saturday pool party this is the one:

BREAKING NEWS: Special K will be wearing his new shoes!!

MORE BREAKING NEWS!!!: Special K will be doing the oil wrestling himself!! Word is he has been practicing with other hot steamy men… here is an exclusive photo of him practicing today!

Also a note about OCC photography – Photos from last weeks pool party @ Arden Villas, DJ Deville @ The Kennedy in Tampa, and from tomorrows party will all be up and online by Sunday night. Sorry for the delay.

So I’m sure by now your girlfriend has probably made you listen to or you have heard a track on the radio called “Best I Ever Had” by a guy coming out of Toronto named Drake.

Drake is pretty much the hottest up-and-coming rapper in 2009 and has already secured himself a verse on Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 album due out 9/11. Not bad for a guy who hasn’t even put out an official album yet, eh?

I heard about this mixtape months and months ago and I’ll admit it, I slept on it. I had never heard of him, but I did know that he was running with Lil’ Wayne and that was a factor why I didn’t want to listen to him because Wayne was still on his singing bullshit.

This mixtape got critical reviews on pretty much every blog/website I read about it on. I finally downloaded it yesterday and I must say this guy is definetly on some other shit. He has tracks similar to “Best I Ever Had” but also has tracks where he holds his own against hip-hop heavyweights like Bun B.

I highly suggest people download this mixtape. There is no DJ on it so you don’t have to worry about all that stupid shit.
