When I was doing the “Saturday/Thursday” party at Firestone I reached out to a relatively unknown artist named Kid Cudi. I was all about making the first Orlando Kid Cudi show a reality, but unfortunately the powers that be at Firestone thought they knew everything and came to the conclusion that the booking would not be a success. I think they were wrong. I also think his booking fee is probably a tad bit more than $2,500 these days. In that era I also suggested LMFAO, Asher Roth, Crookers, Diplo, Kid Sister, and Girl Talk but I obviously had no idea what I was talking about.

Here is my convo with cudder back in ‘08…

The “Classy” trio has finally made it onto “The Dirty” and it’s raining hate.

I commented on the actual blog (http://thedirty.com/2009/12/31/three-duck-faced-friends/) but I missed really ranting so much that I decided to post a little somethin-somethin here.

First of all, I love that “stripper” has become an insult. Last time I checked a stripper is a woman who gets paid to show off her body. Tell me you don’t wish you could get a pay stub for all the times you’ve been naked in public places or homes that are not yours. Also, GOOD LUCK finding a girl who has never EVER done the “duck-face” in a picture.

I’ve seen drunker, skankier, and more violent bitches not only on the streets and dirty college bars of Orlando but in many other cities as well. And I’m SURE you have, too.

They may be crazy, but I guarantee that they have a better time, more drinks bought for them and more friends than you do.

All of you who say they’re busted are probably just bitter because even if all three of them were being their normal “classy” selves (i.e. falling on the floor wasted, fighting other drunk bitches and getting kicked out), they wouldn’t fuck you, let alone rub you the wrong way.

I hope they continue to make the “duck-face” and I hope whoever sent in that post finally gets laid and stops watching everyone else live their own lives around him.

P.S. Nik, they wouldn’t fuck you, either. (Neither would I and I’m pretty easy.)

Came across this super dope remix by The Soundmen to Britney Spear’s “3″ on TheMusicSlut. It definitely deserves to be posted and you can download it for free from this link as well.

She might have always been sort of a hot mess…but it’s cool. Just look at the picture below and it all goes away.

If you haven’t seen it yet, here is the new video. It’s been out for a minute, but it’s still something fun to look at.

 

Shockingly, 28,625 of you visited 74,243 different pages on orangecountyconcepts.com during the month of November. That is down significantly from our glory days, but still a mystery to me considering we haven’t updated since Familiar Joe’s post about the Electric Zoo festival in September. At least our last post was in September, MiamiNights.com hasn’t had a post since June, and DrinkUpOrlando.com and Defame Orlando are like, non-exhistant now, hmmm how things change. So where are you getting your gossipy news now Orlando nightlife people? How are you surviving without our witty, insulting, sarcasm?

So you may ask yourself, what is going on with Docta Dawe, dLux, E. Sprad the photographer, Matt Phillips, Chris Callahan the photographer, and the rest of the bloggers that faithfully brought the city of Orlando entertainment for over a year here on OCC. Well, we are at a crossroads… That is:

Revive OCC?

Move on to a new project?

Its been a tough call. As many of you know I have been sidelined for a few months with a medical thing, (See http://www.orangecountyconcepts.com/2009/03/29/docta-dawe-public-service-announcement-2/) and will be returning to the DJ world around January. Until then I plan on doing a lot of nothing and really would like to get back to blogging. Soooo with that being said I will be announcing how I plan to do that over the next few days…

Personally, I would like to create a new blog, one that is not over run with comments from Russians about where to score viagra on the low low. I also would love to do something with my past collaborators… (even Kaypee), we did have a lot of fun here on OCC, and I think that really came across through our blogs. Anyways, hopefully this little thought from my head will catch on to the revival, or to a new project…. either way, my person/temporary blog will be up and running soon, but will mostly focus on my cancer treatment. So lets get this party started again my Orlando blogger friends!!

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 it seems that some of you have yet to become acquainted with the “bastard step child of irony”. From reactions across Facebook, Twitter and dare I say it, even the blogs of OrangeCountyConcepts.com it has become very apparent that some of you JUST DON’T GET IT. After coming to this conclusion I said to myself, “Meagan, you have yet to do your good deed of the day. And this deed has the potential to help more than just one poor soul, it can help many!” So here it is, kiddies:

The technical definition from Miriam-Webster Dictionary:

1. a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
2. a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual
3. the use or language of sarcasm

Made easier to understand by Urban Dictionary: (Just in case you had to look up any of the words in the previous definition.)

1. Your body’s natural defense against stupid.
2. Noun. A very British form of humor which derives laughs from saying something while really meaning something else. Often (though not always, contrary to popular belief) used in scathing remarks. The word ‘Sarcasm’ is derived from a Greek word meaning ‘tearing flesh’.
3. Gift for intelligent, ability to compose messages which questions another’s intellect.
4. To say the opposite of what is obvious.
5. With the use of it any word can be turned into a fuck you statement with undertones of absolute contempt.
6. The only language I speak.

I can only hope that this will aide the unfortunate individuals who have been left behind when entering a conversation filled with sarcastic remarks, those who attempt to retort the users of sarcasm with nonsensical bullshit and also those who choose to comment on Facebook, Twitter and the blogs of OrangeCountyC0ncepts.com.

Keep it classy, kids.

For F*ck Your Format: Vol. 2.

 As if you thought this guy couldnt make another club banging, heart pounding mixtape…He did. And he didn’t just “bring the noise”…he fucking created the noise.

Including everything from LMFAO to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park to Uptown Girl by Billy Joel and even throwing in a super saucy ”Pretty woman” track. DJ Eric Draven is on Fire, and he knows it. Releasing the “Talk of Orlando” mixtape last month which has (at this point) over 40,000 downloads.

Yes…you read that right. Over 40,000 downloads. Or if you want to be specific…40, 247 downloads. Don’t believe me? CLICK HERE

F*ck Your Format Vol.2 drops tomorrow. Let me just tell you, I have had the privilege of bumping it in my car through my iPod all week and I have already had people ask me “YO! What CD is that?”, I am forced to give them a business card and say “Just go to this website, you have to wait for June 1st”.

Keep an eye on Draven, he will be making MAJOR moves this summer. Keep it locked right here on OrangeCountyConcepts.com to see what he is doing and where he will be. I can promise you, you wont be dissapointed.

 DJ dLux is not going to be a happy camper that I wrote this blog, since it will knock down his blog post about his latest mixtape “Zone Defense”. If you haven’t downloaded the hottest mixtape of the summer so far get on this now! This is not just a regional mixtape, dLux is doing it really big right now with almost 2,500 downloads in a little over a day! At that rate he is as on track to be neck and neck with Bow Wow’s first week record sales from last month. Not to shabby.

Orlando is pretty lame right now. There is nothing in the club industry I can bash at the moment unfortunately, and hasn’t been for a while. I predict it will be a very slowwwww summer for the Orlando nightlife industry. About the only thing this city has going for it right now is our beloved Orlando Magic.

Scott Skiles must be very proud.

I know this isn’t a sports blog, but bare with me, I’ll find a way to tie this into the blog somehow. After years of shitty attendance and disappointment, mostly with the decisions the front office made nearly 10 years ago, the Magic is back in Orlando. I have to admit, although I am a fan, I was pretty skeptical that they would pull this series off against the Cavs , and its not over yet, even thought it would be pretty hard to blow a 3-1 series lead. It is nearly impossible to have a conversation about the Orlando Magic with another Orlando local without bringing up the past, which was an extreme failure. In 1995 the Orlando Magic were SWEPT in the NBA finals by the Houston Rockets, a series remembered mostly for its game one disappointment, which caused a spiral of falure. With the Magic up by three points late in the game, Nick Anderson, typically a 70% free throw shooter, missed four consecutive free throws that could have sealed the victory for Orlando. I remember watching Marv Albert now, giving play-by-play in Houston for game 4, and seeing the Houston fans waving brooms in the air to symbolize the “Sweep”. We all know the rest of the story: Swept by Michael Jordan and the bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals the following year, Shaq signing with the Lakers, Penny causing a mutiny against Brian Hill, and tons of epic FAILURE since.

The Glory Days (when our uniforms didn’t look as fucking stupid as those v-necks)

The real purpose of this little NBA talk was to inform all the people of Orlando of the unbelievable opportunity we may have as fans. Not only the possibility of having NBA finals basketball in Orlando, but the possibility of a Victory, and NBA Championship. Now here’s the fun part…

I have been watching the NBA finals every year since 1993. Whenever the home team wins the championship, there is usually a celebration, some big, some not as big, it really seems to depend on the spirit and rambunctiousness of the city. Since the days of the Bulls dynasty, the celebrations just haven’t been the same. Last year when the Celtics won, their on court celebration was kind of week, so the fans attempted to take it to the streets. Unfortunately the police presence was high. “As a working class kid, I feel there is no better way of commemorating my hometown’s victory than destroying my hometown,” said Doug Coswell, an unemployed 28-year-old Celtics superfan after last years NBA Finals victory. “I really wanted to fuck some shit up tonight - but before I knew it, some pig cracked me on the head and I woke up in Suffolk County Jail.” Nice attempt Doug!

So you might be asking yourself, “Mr. Dawe, are you suggesting we cause a riot and destroy Downtown Orlando if the Magic win the NBA title?”. Not quite. I mean, if the opportunity presents itself go for it, but the chances of that happening are pretty slim with the extreme police presence that should be surrounding the city. On the other hand, with the Arena right next door to Parramore there shouldn’t be much to fuck up anyways.

We are getting a little ahead of ourselves here, I mean the Magic aren’t even in the NBA Finals yet. If they do make it, there is definitely no guarantee that they will win with either Denver or LA waiting. If they do pull it off and win the big prize who knows if they will do it at home. All I am saying is if the Magic win the NBA championship at home, it is essential as a city, for the fans to STORM THE COURT. Orlando is known as a city of PUSSIES. Everyone loves disney and all the family friendly tourist attractions here, but is that what us locals want to be remembered by? This is ORLANDO’S CHANCE TO BE BAD ASS MOTHER FUCKERS. Of course there will be 15-20 police officers surrounding the parameter of the court, but what good will that do when a crowd of 18,000 people go insane? This is your moment Orlando. The chance to break free from being a weak ass tourist destination with mouse ears as its mascot. If the Magic win the NBA championship this year, we must take back our city, in front of a NATIONAL TV AUDIENCE and act like a bunch of FUCKING IDIOTS.

Here is the playbook: 

Boston Celtics 1984 NBA Finals Victory.

Boston’s fans did it right at Boston Garden this night in 1984! Watch the place go insane at 2:22 into the below video. The players had to tell the fans to get off the court before the game was even over! Even better, 3:23, wow. I don’t even know what to say to that one, but I want to be that guy if the Magic win the championship, daisy dukes and all. SO REMEMBER if the Magic make it to the NBA finals, and if they win it at home,  help spread the word, MAGIC MASSACRE: STORM THE COURT!
